Figure 18: Graphical representation of
Alignment aid
in SOPAS ET
The
Alignment aid
shows the percentage signal level of the following beams:
•
First beam not blanked
•
Last beam not blanked
•
Weakest non-blanked beam
The values of
Alignment aid
are to be interpreted as follows:
< 50%:
Insufficient signal strength for stable detection with operating reserve
50% - 85%:
Sufficient signal strength for stable detection with operating reserve
> 85%:
Optimal signal strength for stable detection with operating reserve
Aligning the SLG-2 light grid with the
Alignment aid
function:
1.
Set up
Alignment aid
: For optimal function of the
Alignment aid
, move the light grid up
and down until signal strength 0% is displayed on each side (first / last beam).
2.
Align the sender and receiver with respect to each other until a value of at least
50% is reached for each beam shown in the
Alignment aid
.
3.
Perform teach-in.
The
Alignment aid
is automatically deactivated for the following reasons:
•
Teach-in command
•
Restore factory settings
•
IO-Link DataStorage download
•
Hardware error
NOTE
When
Alignment aid
is active, the light grid cannot perform detection, it is not ready for
operation. Process data and detection information are not transmitted. If the
Alignment
aid
is active, the
Invalid process data
flag is set.
