The following types correspond to the Type setting in the panel.
When Type is set to Continuous , part detection is automatically enabled. When Type is set to
anything else, part detection can be enabled and disabled in the Part Detection panel. See Part
Detection on page 103 for descriptions of the settings that control detection logic.
Continuous : The sensor
continuously generates surfaces of
parts that are detected under the
sensor.
Fixed Length : The sensor
generates surfaces of a fixed length
(in mm) using the value in the
Length setting.
For correct length measurement,
you should ensure that motion is
calibrated (that is, encoder
resolution for encoder triggers or
travel speed time triggers).
The Type setting provides two
types of start triggers:
o Sequential : Continuously
generates back-to-back fixed
length surfaces.
o
External Input : A pulse on the
digital input triggers the
generation of a single surface of
fixed length.
For more information on
connecting external input to a
Gocator sensor, see on page 410.
You can optionally enable part
detection to process the
profile surface after it has been
generated, but the generation itself
does not depend on the detection
logic. To do this, check
Enabled in
the Part Detection panel.
