1. ifm controller CAN parameters: communication cycle
In some applications, it is possible to set the monitoring time for SYNC packets generated by the master here.
Note that this moment is larger than the SYNC moment of the master. Optimal values should be determined experimentally.
In most cases, node monitoring is sufficient to have heartbeats or node maintenance.
2. ifm controller CAN parameters: no initialization
If this option is enabled, the master will quickly run the node without transmitting the equipped SDO, however, the SDO data will be generated and stored in the controller.
3. ifm controller CAN parameters: node ID
The node ID is used to clearly identify the CAN module and corresponds to the number on the module set between 1 and 127.
This ID is entered in decimal and 1 is actively added after a new module is added.
4. CAN parameters of ifm controller: node maintenance/detection signal setting
Depending on the device you are able to choose:
· [nodeguarding] and (lifetimefactor).
· to set [heartbeat].
If both are set, only heartbeats are executed.
Proposition: Use the detection function for devices with low bus load from then on.
5. ifm controller CAN parameters: create SDO
If this option is enabled, an SDO will be generated for the communication destination.
6. ifm controller CAN parameters: optional device
If the [optionaldevice] option is enabled, the master will only test the read from this node once. If there is no response, the node will be ignored and the master will enter normal operation.
If the slave is connected to the network and is detected later in real time, it will actively start.
To do this, you need to have the [Automaticstartup] option selected in the CAN parameters of the master.
7. ifm controller CAN parameters: node reset
After restarting the master, the slave is reset during the initialization of the CANopen network ("load and NMT commands" ResetNode"). Then, equip the slave station.
8. ifm controller CAN parameters: write DCF
If WriteDCF is enabled, a DCF file will be created after the EDS file is added to the set directory of the compiled file. The title of the DCF file consists of the title of the EDS file and the attached node ID.
9. ifm controller CAN parameters: emergency message
Usually, check this option. EMCY packets are transmitted using identifiers.
10. ifm controller CAN parameters: information
A description of this slave is displayed in the EDS file:
Single dirt button [Infol.

The new radar level sensor LW2720 with IO-Link interface
In the food and beverage industry, level measurement of a wide range of tanks is critical, but there are many challenges.
For example, steam, condensate, temperature changes, or various gases (maintenance gases such as nitrogen) above the level surface in some tanks can affect the accuracy of the measurement.

How to care for ifm sensors
1. When measuring the liquid pressure, in order to prevent the sensor from being damaged by overpressure, the device position of the sensor should prevent the impact of the liquid.
2. When measuring steam or other high-temperature media, it is necessary to connect a condenser such as a buffer pipe.
3. The impulse pipe should be installed in a place where the temperature fluctuation is small.
