3.2 Product characteristics
The distance sensor consists of the optics, a sender/receiver unit and an evaluation
unit.
The device emits invisible, infrared laser beam pulses. The receiver receives the light
reflected from a measuring object (=echo). The evaluation electronics determines the
distance between the sensor and the measuring object using time-of-flight measure‐
ment.
The device supports two measuring modes.
•
Axial object tracking: Measuring object moves along the laser beam.
•
Lateral entry of the object: Measuring object moves perpendicular to the laser
beam.
Parameter presettings simplify device configuration for the respective measuring mode.
The detected object distance or the object speed (configurable) is transmitted via the
serial interface (switchable: RS-422 / SSI) or via Ethernet (TCP/IP). The analog signal
output (analog output) converts the distance value into a 4 mA … 20 mA current output
signal proportional to the distance. Digital switching outputs (digital outputs) can be
used to monitor when parameterized thresholds for the distance values have been
reached. The “Distance to the object” and “Window” switching functions are supported
for doing so. In addition, the achievement of configurable switching limits for the speed
of the measuring object can be monitored via digital outputs.
A visible alignment laser facilitates alignment of the device with the measuring object.
The measurement technology is designed for indoor and outdoor applications. For such
applications, the device must be protected from environmental factors, "Mounting
instructions", page 31. The protective housing, available as an option, can be used for
this purpose.
Measured distance values can be visualized and parameter settings can be made
using the graphical touch-display. Alternatively, the device can be configured via the
SOPAS ET user interface (PC) (via Ethernet).
