SmartMonitor V2 software makes sensor set-up easier!
With Omron’s interface unit and SmartMonitor V2 software
the ZX-E sensor can be easily connected to a Notebook or PC.
The software is ideal for quickly and easily setting up
parameters and values via the menu screen from a PC or using
the serial port of a PLC. It offers full visualisation of all
measured values on the spot. Threshold settings can be done
using the Position Teach feature or by entering the values
directly. All parameters and modes can be changed within
seconds and the interrupt time is kept to a minimum, which
is very important in production processes. In addition, all
settings can be saved on a computer, and reloaded based
on production requirements.
Data logging results can be processed using SmartMonitor
V2 software and stored automatically (as an Excel csv file)
for quality control information, leading to smoother production
runs. Data can also be displayed in waveform during logging.
Waveforms can be easily monitored and threshold values set
simply by dragging and dropping. High-speed waveforms can
be obtained and displayed in a one-shot operation.
This innovative feature is ideal for use in high-speed processes,
where the software can be used to generate a waveform.
Teaching functions for fast and easy set-up
The ZX-E sensor features three teaching functions
to set up threshold values. These are:
Direct input
Ideal for detecting whether or not
the OK/not OK values are known.
Position teaching
For high-precision positioning
applications.
Automatic teaching
For teaching under production conditions
without stopping the work-piece.
Visualisation and monitoring of all measured data.
Waveform monitoring.
Threshold setting by drag & drop
graphic function.
Data logging and processing.
