Special versions of the AHS/AHM36 IO-Link include so-called Smart Tasks which enables them to make decentralized decisions and also carry them out autonomously. They take care of functions at the superordinate automation level, thereby improving response times because they reduce the communication load over the Ethernet and fieldbus networks. A wide variety of applications in which length measurement plays an important role can be designed more efficiently using Smart Tasks.Smart Task “Length measurement and trigger” - The IO-Link encoder measures and/or monitors the length of objects based on defined limit values, and outputs a signal when the length falls above or below these limits, for example in sorting processes in conveyor belt applications.- The IO-Link encoder outputs a trigger when a pre-defined length has been reached. This Smart Task is used, for example, for cutting processes in the packaging and timber processing industries.
