Product characteristics
The distance sensor consists of the optics, a sender/receiver unit and an evaluation
unit.
The device emits invisible, infrared laser beam pulses. The receiver receives the light
reflected from a measuring object (=echo). The evaluation electronics determines the
distance between the sensor and the measuring object using time-of-flight measure‐
ment.
The device supports two measuring modes.
•
Axial object tracking: Measuring object moves along the laser beam.
•
Lateral entry of the object: Measuring object moves perpendicular to the laser
beam.
Parameter presettings simplify device configuration for the respective measuring mode.
The achievement of configurable switching limits for the distance values and the speed
of the measuring object can be monitored using digital outputs. The device also offers
a wide range of options for transmitting object distance, object speed, digital output
status and device status to a connected control using the communication interfaces.
The analog output converts the distance value into a 4 mA to 20 mA current output
signal proportional to the distance.
A visible alignment laser facilitates alignment of the device with the measuring object.
The measurement technology is designed for indoor and outdoor applications. For
such applications, the device must be protected from environmental factors,
. The protective housing, available as an option, can be used for
this purpose.
Measured distance values can be visualized and parameter settings can be made
using the graphical touch-display. Alternatively, the device can be configured via the
PROFIBUS DP interface, the SOPAS
ET user interface (PC, via Ethernet) or via the
Ethernet interface.
