LC25 Pro with IO-Link Process Data Out (Master to Device)
IO-Link® is a point-to-point communication link between a master device and a sensor and/or light. It can be used to automatically parameterize sensors or lights and to transmit process data. For the latest IO-LINK protocol and specifications, please visit www.io-link.com.
For the latest IODD files, please refer to the Banner Engineering Corp website at: www.bannerengineering.com.
Segment Mode
Configure the light to have up to 10 segments that scale in size automatically with the length of the light or select Manual Segment Configuration which allows each segment to have a custom LED width and LED offset from the beginning of each segment to the beginning of the light.
Use process data to set each segment to off, solid on, flash, or animation mode. Use parameter data to change segment number and configuration, color, intensity, flash speed, direction, background, threshold markers, and select animation type.
Animation |
Description |
Off | Segment is off |
Steady | Color 1 is on at the defined intensity |
Flash | Color 1 flashes at the defined speed, color intensity, and pattern (normal, strobe, three pulse, SOS, or random) |
Two Color Flash | Color 1 and Color 2 flash alternately at the defined speed, color intensities, and pattern (normal, strobe, three pulse, SOS, or random) |
Two Color Shift | Color 1 and Color 2 flash alternately on adjacent LEDs at the defined speed and color intensities |

Level Mode
Use process data to set the level value. Use parameter data to set range, thresholds, colors, intensities, flash speeds, background, threshold markers, and animation types.
General Settings |
Description |
Level Mode Value | Value of the level of the light (between 0 to 65,535) |
Full Scale Value | Set the upper limit of the Level Mode Value (between 0 to 65,535) |
Background Color and Intensity | A defined color and intensity is displayed on LEDs that are not active |
Dominance | Dominant: The entire light displays the active threshold color Non-Dominant: LEDs display their defined threshold colors |
Sub-Segment Style | If Level Mode Value is a partial percentage of an LED, select if the segment will be on steady or analog dimmed to the partial percentage |
Filtering | Smooths the input signal by varying the sample size None: There is no filtering Low: The sample size is short and changes to the input signal are more noticeable High: The sample size is long and changes to the input signal are less noticeable |
Hysteresis | Determines the signal value change needed to transition between thresholds and to prevent chatter None: The value follows the input signal High: A large value change is needed to transition between thresholds |
Level Mode Threshold Markers | Threshold markers display LED(s) at the defined thresholds and can be configured as either dominant or non-dominant. Threshold marker location and width are defined by the offset and width parameters, respectively, in segment mode. |
Base and Threshold 1-4 Settings |
Description |
Threshold Type: Base | A defined animation state is displayed on LEDs that are not defined within a threshold |
Threshold Type: 1-4 | Level Mode Values that conform to Threshold Comparison Type ≤ or ≥ and the Threshold Value Percent are displayed on LEDs as defined by the threshold color, intensity, flash speeds, and run mode animation types |
Dim and Blend Mode
Dim and blend mode uses the light to finely adjust the intensity of one color, or blend between two or three colors.
Use process data to set the dim and blend mode value. Use parameter data to set number of colors, range, colors, and intensities.
General Settings |
Description |
Dim and Blend Mode Value | Value of the intensity of the light in 1 Color mode or value of the blend between colors in 2 and 3 Color mode (between 0 to 65,535) |

2: Color 1 and Color 2 define the end values of a line across the color gamut. The light displays a blended color and moves along the line as defined by the Dim and Blend Mode Value and color intensities. 3: Color 1 and Color 2 define the beginning and end value of one line across the color gamut. Color 2 and Color 3 define the beginning and end value of a second line across the color gamut. The light displays a blended color and moves along the two lines as defined by the Dim and Blend Mode Value and color intensities. |
Filtering | Smooths the input signal by varying the sample size None: There is no filteringLow: The sample size is short and changes to the input signal are more noticeableHigh: The sample size is long and changes to the input signal are less noticeable |
Gauge Mode
Gauge mode uses the light to display a colored band of LEDs in a position proportional to the gauge mode value.
Use process data to set the gauge mode value. Use parameter data to set range, thresholds, colors, intensities, flash speeds, background, threshold markers, and animation types.
