Integration of LED SmartLight device into the automated process

the coming digitization, knowledge, and response to the current operating state of the automated workplace, as well as the need to visualize the required information using a suitable system component, is the current trend of optical and acoustic visualization. Therefore, the article aims to present a reliable visualization of the monitored automated workplace, representing a fundamental change in physical variables and states. This article explains the configuration, integration, and verification of a LED SmartLight device based on IO-Link communication. The article also includes a description of the individual control blocks and instructions necessary for implementing such a signaling device. The simulation of the automated process (TIA Portal environment) preceded the experimental deployment in the existing robotic assembly cell of FESTO (FMS 500). The results indicate immediate and clear signaling, exceeding the limit values of the operating state or the ability to read the tendency and course of the selected physical quantity.
