Introduction
1.1 About this Guide
This document provides an overview of the components available in a Landscan LSP-HD
Infrared Linescanning System and is intended as a guide to the installation and commissioning
procedure.
Note that, due to the variety of system configurations available, there is no definitive
‘standard’ installation and commissioning process. However, this document provides an
overview of the typical steps required to complete installation and commissioning. A
description of the most common configurations available, from basic single scanner systems to
multiple Scanner systems with I/O processors, is given in Section 2.
Read this document thoroughly prior to installing your system, referring also to the user
documentation provided with the components of your LSP-HD system.
1.2 System Installation Sequence
A typical installation and commissioning sequence is outlined below:
1) Install the Mounting and verify that the Scanner is aligned correctly on the target i.e.
there is nothing in the field of view which obscures the sighting:
•
Make sure that there is no framework or similar in the field of view;
• In order to avoid reflections, install the mounting such that the scanner does not
look onto rollers;
• If heat shields are installed the cutout must give sufficient space for the scan
angle ( Maximum scan angle is 80° );
• Verify that the mounting height allows the maximum product width to be covered
by the maximum scan angle of 80°.
2) Make sure that you have the correct Cooling Water and Purge Air (with associated
Blower ) supplies set up and operational. Connect these to the scanner mountings
before installing it.
3) Choose an installation location for the Power Supply Unit such that it is shielded from
the process heat at the given distance to the scanner location (The standard length of
connection cable is 15 m / 48 ft). Apply the necessary power connections.
4) Connect the scanner Cable to the mounting.
5) Connect the Power over Ethernet Switch ( PoE Switch ) to the PC or Network Switch .
• A Patch Cable can be used for up to 100 m / 330 ft distance: if a longer distance
is required, then a Fibre network must be used.
6) If a Beckhoff IO unit is part of the system, it must also be connected to the network
switch.
•
All components, scanner and Beckhoff must be connected physically to the
Network before the system is powered up.
7) Install the Data Server Install ( WCA Software) on the Server PC .
8) Apply Power to all the system components.
9) Verify that all scanners and
Beckhoff processors are visible
in the network. To verify the
connection use the ‘ping’ command
from the command prompt as
shown. The recommended network
IP Address of the PC running WCA
Software is 10.1.10.25, subnet
255.255.0.0.
If you wish to communicate to
the scanner PC from your plant
network, we recommend fitting a
second Network Interface Card and addressing it to comply with your plant network.
In this way, the scanner live data traffic does not affect your network.
