Operation
5.1
Commissioning
Connect the controller to a voltage supply, see Chap.
Connect the sensor and the controller with the optical fiber (sensor cable), see
.
If you use controller IFC2471 with an IFX2471 external light source, the following applies:
Connect the controller and the external light source with the optical fiber and the
status cable.
Connect the external light source to the mains power supply.
Switch on the external light source, then switch on the controller using the
Power
switch.
When the controller has been switched on it initializes. The measuring system is ready
after approx. 10 seconds. To ensure precise measurements, let the measuring system
warm up for about 60 minutes. The system can be configured through web pages that
are integrated into the controller or using commands, see Chap.
. We recommend
configuring the controller through the web pages.
5.2
Operation Using Ethernet
Dynamic web pages are generated in the controller which contain the current settings of
the controller and the peripherals. Operation is only possible while there is an Ethernet
connection to the controller.
5.2.1
Requirements
To support a basic first commissioning of the sensor, the sensor is set to a direct connec-
tion.
If you have configured your browser to access the internet via a proxy server, in the
browser settings you will need to add the IP address of the controller to the list of ad-
dresses which should not be routed through the proxy server. The MAC address of the
unit can be found on the nameplate of the controller and on the test certificate calibration
report.
