The WLD4F is an opto-electronic photoelectric retro-reflective sensor (referred to as
"sensor" or "product" in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects,
animals, and persons. A reflector is required for it to function. If the product is used
for any other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall
become void.

The product comes with the IO-Link communication interface.
IO-Link communication is a master-device communication system.
The product can be operated in standard I/O mode (SIO) or IO-Link mode (IOL). All
automation functions and other parameter settings are effective in IO-Link mode and in
standard I/O mode.
The following functions are supported via the standard IO-Link communication inter‐
face:
•
Flexible sensor settings
•
Digital transmission of sensor signals to the IO-Link Master
•
Visualization and configuration of the sensor
•
Diagnostics /condition monitoring
•
Device identification
•
Easy device replacement
•
Events
A detailed description of the configurable functions and associated indices can be
found in the "IO-Link description" technical Information:
electric sensors, SICK Smart Sensors /
Mount the sensor and the reflector using suitable mounting brackets (see the SICK
range of accessories). Align the sensor and reflector with each other.
