The bks+6/FIU sensors are IO-Link-ca-
pable in accordance with IO-Link
specification V1.1.
Via the Teach-in button on the
edge sensor’s top or via Pin 5 on
the device plug, the sensor can
be adjusted to the material to be
controlled.
Choosing between rising and
falling output characteristic is
possible.
Three LEDs indicate the position
of the web material inside the
fork.
Safety Notes
Read the operating instructions
prior to start-up.
Connection, installation and ad-
justment works may only be car-
ried out by expert personnel.
No safety component in ac-
cordance with the EU Machine
Directive.
Installation
Mount the sensor at the installa-
tion site.
Connect a connection cable to
the M12 device plug.
Start-Up
Connect the power supply.
Carry out the adjustment to the
web material in accordance with
the diagram.
Product Description
The bks+ ultrasonic web edge sensor
is a fork sensor for scanning the
edges of sound-impermeable and
slightly sound-permeable materials
such as foil or paper.
The fork’s lower leg is equipped with
an ultrasonic sensor which cyclically
emits short sound impulses, which
are detected by the ultrasonic
receiver accommodated in the upper
fork leg. Material immersing into the
fork covers this sound path and thus
attenuates the receive signal, which is
evaluated by the internal electronics.
An analogue signal and a binary
value via IO-Link is output in depen-
dence of the coverage degree.
The bks+6/FIU optional can be pro-
grammed using the LinkControl-
Adapter LCA-2 and LinkControl soft-
Synchronisation
If two or more edge sensors are
mounted in a distance < 50 mm the
internal synchronisation should be
used. Connect Sync-channels (Pin 5
at the units receptacle) of all sensors.
Factory setting

put

Switched output on NOC
Switched output window is

Maintenance
microsonic sensors are maintenance-
free. With heavy dirt deposits, we re-
commend a cleaning of the white
sensor surface.
