2 Description
2.1 General functionality
The Baumer SensControl allows you to parameterize and analyze IO-Link devices. The Sen-
sControl is accessed with the SensControl app via WLAN or Bluetooth.
Ill.2: Functionality of the SensControl
2.2 Operating modes
You can use the SensControl in the following operating modes:
nMaster mode
nSniffing mode
nDirect mode
2.2.1 Master mode
nThe SensControl communicates directly with the connected IO-Link device.
nThe SensControl cyclically reads and writes the process data of the connected IO-Link de-
vice and transfers it to the SensControl app.
nThe changes made to the parameters and control commands in the SensControl app are
forwarded to the IO-Link device.
nMaster mode is the mode in which the SensControl starts when it is switched on.
nAs soon as an IO-Link device is connected to the SensControl, communication is estab-
lished between the IO-Link device and the SensControl. Communication is maintained as
long as the IO-Link device is connected.
2.2.2 Sniffing mode
nThe SensControl tracks the communication between the IO-Link device and IO-Link master
in sniffing mode without affecting the existing connection between the IO-Link device and
IO-Link master. The communication is stored on a MicroSD card that can be inserted into
the SensControl.
nFor this purpose, the SensControl is connected directly between the IO-Link device and the
IO-Link master.
nThe data can then be read out from the MicroSD card and analyzed.

6 Operating Manual SensControl | V1
2.2.3 Direct mode
nIf modern, IO-Link-capable 4-wire devices are operated on older systems, the SensControl
provides the complete IO-Link functionality of the devices.
nFor this purpose, the device must be parameterized in such a way that connection Q2 is
connected as an output and provides the original function of a conventional device.
nThe SensControl connects output Q2 to the master and allows parallel communication to
the IO-Link device.
2.3 LEDs

ion Description
LED1 ... provides information about the WLAN mode of the device
Lights up red: The SensControl provides an access point (SoftAP mode).
Lights up green: The SensControl is connected to another WLAN in Infrastructure
mode.
Off: The SensControl does not provide a WLAN nor does it connect to a
WLAN that may have been configured.
LED2 ... provides information about the status of the IO-Link communication.
Lights up green: The SensControl is operating in Master mode and the IO-Link de-
vice has the status OPERATE.
Lights up red: No IO-Link device is connected or the status could not be changed
to OPERATE. No communication with the connected IO-Link de-
vice is possible.
Flashing blue: The SensControl is operating in sniffing mode.
Lights up blue: The SensControl is operating in sniffing mode and is waiting for a
STARTUP command from the connected IO-Link master.
Lights up yellow: The SensControl cannot start the sniffing mode because the SD
card cannot be used (no MicroSD card is inserted or no space is
available on the MicroSD card or the first partition is not FAT32-for-
matted).
LED3 ... provides information about the power supply currently in use.
Lights up red: The SensControl is operating on battery power.
Lights up green: The SensControl is being operated via USB; the batteries are being
charged.
Lights up blue: The connected IO-Link device is being supplied with power via the
master port.
LED4 ... displays the charging status of the batteries.
Lights up red: Battery is almost discharged.
Lights up green: Battery is 100% charged.
LED1 &
LED2
Flashing blue: The SensControl is started or is in Firmware Update mode.

2.5 Power supply
The power supply is optionally provided via:
nIntegrated mini-USB port
nIO-Link master
nIntegrated battery
In battery mode, the SensControl has a runtime of approx. 3 h with an energy consumption of
the IO-Link device of 2 W on average. In battery mode, the SensControl provides up to 350 mA
for the IO-Link device.
If the IO-Link device to be used requires more power, a 24 V power supply unit can be con-
nected to the connection for the IO-Link master in order to supply the IO-Link device directly
with power.

b) Connect an IO-Link device to the SensorControl.
c) Start the SensControl app on your smartphone/tablet.
d) Activate Bluetooth or WLAN on your smartphone/tablet and wait until the SensControl ap-
pears in the connection view.
The Bluetooth connection is the most convenient way to work.
e) Tap on the SensControl that is found.
Result:
üThe connection between the SensControl and IO-Link device is established.
üThe SensControl automatically downloads the IODD of the connected IO-Link device.
üFinally, the start screen of the SensControl app opens. The device is now ready for use.
INFO
The SensControl app stores IODDs in an offline cache once they have been downloaded. If the
required IODD has already been downloaded, you can also use the SensControl app without an
Internet connection.
