8.2.1.3 Setting the offset for valid distance measurement
NOTICE
This setting only affects the width light curtain!
If the CMS 700i shall output the smallest distance between measuring object and conveyor edge, the
mechanical distance between conveyor edge and first light beam of the width light curtain must be
entered. The determination of the required distance in the measuring scene is described in
chapter 7.4.2.
Enter the determined value in the field Offset in millimeters with a
negative sign
.
In order for the system to output the recorded distance, the parameter "Distance (outside)" must be
dragged into the output string, see chapter 8.2.3
8.2.1.4 Setting and teach-in blanking
If obstacles permanently interrupt edge beams of the width or height light curtain, these areas can be
blanked out.
Blanked areas must always contain the first or last beam of the light curtain.
A blanked area in the middle of the measuring range is not permissible and leads to false
measurements.
