4 Intended use
4.1 Overview
cynapse® is a mechanically integrated component of the gearbox. This means that different
measurement variables can be determined, recorded and evaluated.
The IO-Link connector is an interface that can be connected with an IO-Link master.
Cyclical process data can be read via IO-Link. Furthermore, it is possible to parameterize
cynapse®, retrieve permanently stored data and perform firmware updates via this connection.

Image1.2: IO-Link connector / master connection

4.2 Power supply

The circuitry is supplied with power via the IO-Link connection.

4.3 Delivery condition

cynapse® is only delivered in assembled condition, as a unit with the associated gearbox.

Operating manual

5 Range of functions
5.1 Measurement variables

Accelerations in the three spatial axes and the temperature in the surrounding gearbox
are determined.

Image 1.3: cynapse® orientation of spatial axes

5.2 Events

cynapse® can generate IO-Link events in selected operating conditions, e.g. if set accelerations,temperatures, vibrations, etc. are exceeded. This can be evaluated by the higher-level control
system.

5.3 Data storage

Some readings may be retained following a loss of operating voltage and can be read by boththe client and WITTENSTEIN SE via the IO-Link connection using the IO-Link log.
These readings are described in chapter 7.6.2: “Historical data“.

6 Electrical installation

 Power is supplied and data is transferred to cynapse® via the IO-Link connection to the
IO-Link master supplied by the client.

••

The device may only be supplied by an electrician.
The unit is to be disconnected from the power supply duringassembly.

cynapse® has a 4-pin M8 socket (female) with an internal thread.
A 4-pin M85 connector (male) with an external thread is required on the connector cable.

Table 3: Connector assignment – view of cynapse®

6.2 Electrical connectors

Connect your IO-Link master to cynapse® using an IO-Link cable with the IO-Link connector
Cables need to be laid in such a way that a minimum bend radiusof 10 times the outside diameter is observed. The cable may
be twisted at a length of 1 m by a maximum of ±30°.

If a cable connection is not used, the IO-Link connector socket
is exposed to contaminants and moisture, which may leadto short-circuiting and other defects.
•
In this case, screw the protective cover on to the IO-Link connector
to protect the electronic components from contaminants andmoisture in accordance with the indicated protection class(see chapter 3.2, “Protection class and temperature“).
•To lock the cable connector into the cynapse® device connector,
the threaded ring must be tightened by hand (approx. 50 cNm).

7 Software

The following descriptions refer to a cynapse® firmware version 2.x with the io-link device id 3.

7.1 IODD file

The IODD file needed to connect to the control system can be found athttps://ioddfinder.io-link.com/ by entering “WITTENSTEIN”. The corresponding IODD file contains
the product name “cynapse” with the corresponding firmware version and device id (see chapter
7). Alternatively, please contact our sales team.

7.2 Process data

cynapse® sends the current temperature and acceleration metrics as process data. The data
direction specifications listed below are to be interpreted from the perspective of the IO-Link
master.

7.2.1

Input data
The process data of cynapse® can be configured to have the same process data length but also
to be able to provide different sets of data. The selection of the process data format is done by
the paramter “Settings”. Following values can be configured:
•

RMS:

•
•

Acceleration:

7.6 Blob data

IO-Link defines the transfer of larger quantities of data (Binary large object) by the BLOB transfer
profil. The device uses this to send the collected data.

7.6.1 Histogram data
The following values are recorded and entered into a relevant histogram throughout the service lifeof the device:• Temperature• Maximum vibration (RMS across 3 axes)• Mid-level vibration (RMS across 3 axes)• Maximum deviation of the acceleration vector from the mid-level value• Crest factor
The temperature histogram is divided into 100 classes (linear progression):Class

Table 13: Transfer via blob transfer

Historical data
Over the service life of the device, the maximum temperature and maximum acceleration
will be permanently recorded every 15 minutes. Each maximum temperature value is coded
as an 8-bit signed integer (unit in °C). Each maximum acceleration value is coded in 32 bits andthe acceleration vector with the highest value is stored. The format used is the format of the raw
sensor data with 10 bits per direction in space at a resolution of 0.307 m/s, meaning the last 2
bits are empty: |xxxxxxxx|xxyyyyyy|yyyyzzzz|zzzzzz00|
Each blob data set contains an array of these values, where the oldest value is transferred first:

The acceleration data of byte 20 contains the raw acceleration sensor data of 1,024 successive
measurements (with 3.2 kHz sampling frequency) in a packaged format. Each measurement
accounts for exactly 30 bits in the sequence of X, Y and Z accelerations value per 10 bits
(signed int10). The scaling is 0.307m/s², following example values with conversion:

7.7 Firmware update

The device uses the path standardized by the IO-Link specifications to carry out firmware
updates. The user requires the appropriate firmware data file (*.iolfw) from WITTENSTEIN to do
this. The firmware file can be downloaded from the WITTENSTEIN website from the
WITTENSTEIN service portal. If you have questions about carrying out updates via IO-Link
master, please contact the appropriate manufacturer.
If the connection is disrupted during the transmission of the firmware, the process will be reset
and the device restarted with the old firmware. In this case, the firmware update process
may need to be re-initiated via the IO-Link master.

8 Disposal
You can get additional information about decommissioning, disassembly and disposal of
cynapse® from our customer service team.
• Dispose of cynapse® at the disposal centers intended for this purpose.
 Please observe the valid national regulations for waste disposal.

9 Malfunctions

A change in performance may be an indication of existing damage
to cynapse® or cause damage to cynapse®.
• Only put cynapse® back into use after eliminating the cause of thefault.

10.1.2 Power consumption
The power consumption of the circuitry via the IO-Link is about 15 mA.
10.1.3 Operating voltage
Power is supplied to the circuitry via the IO-Link connection to the IO-Link master. In accordancewith IO-Link specification [3], this must typically be 24 V DC with threshold values of 18 V DC and
30 V DC.
For NRTL-compliant use, a voltage source corresponding to NEC class 2 must be used. A
voltage source corresponding to NEC class 2 must not be connected in series or parallel withanother NEC class 2 voltage source.
Alternatively, a SELV voltage source of 24 V DC in combination with a 0.5 A fuse can be used.
