Teach-in
The sensor is equipped with a function input (XI). In order to teach in a limit value, this sensor must be parameterized as the Teach-in input using
the ULTRA-PROG-IR parameterization software. This parameterization software allows you to specify what limit value is taught in.
Note:
The Teach-in function is not activated when the sensor is delivered.
Description of the Teach-in process:
1. Position an object at the required distance.
2. Connect the Teach-in input to L-.
The green LED lights up briefly after approx. 3 seconds. This indicates that the required distance has been successfully saved.
3. Disconnect the Teach-in input from L-.
Note:
If the Teach-in input remains connected to L-, the Teach-in process is repeated every 3 seconds.
Synchronization
The sensor features a function input (XI). Using the ULTRA-PROG-IR parameterization software, this function input can be configured as a syn-
chronization input to suppress mutual interference from external ultrasonic signals. This is illustrated in the following description.
If the synchronization input is not connected, the sensor operates with internally generated cycle pulses.
External synchronization
The sensor can be synchronized by applying external rectangular pulses. The pulse duration must be
≥
100 µs. Each rising pulse edge sends an
individual ultrasonic pulse. If the signal at the synchronization input is high, the sensor reverts to the normal, unsynchronized operating mode.
If a low signal is applied to the synchronization input, the sensor switches to standby. In this operating mode, the last recorded output statuses
are retained.
Internal synchronization
Common mode operation
Up to ten sensors can be synchronized with each other. To do this, the synchronization inputs of the individual sensors are connected to each
other. When configured in this state, all of the sensors send the ultrasonic signals together at the same time. The cycle rate corresponds to the
cycle rate of the sensor with the lowest rate.
Multiplex mode
Up to ten sensors can work in multiplex mode; i.e. the sensors send their ultrasonic signals in succession. This prevents the sensor signals inter-
fering with each other. In multiplex mode, the synchronization inputs of all sensors are connected to each other. An address must also be assig-
ned to each sensor using the ULTRA-PROG-IR parameterization software, and the number of sensors to be synchronized must be determined.
To start multiplex mode, all sensors are commissioned together by switching on the power supply.
