ZR supplement
This supplement must be determined on an application-specific basis and taken into
account appropriately. The following factors can make it necessary to use a supple‐
ment: reflectors or shiny objects on the scan plane, multi-echo analysis, blanking size,
device filter (e.g., particle filter).

Switching field width
The width of the switching field must cover the width of the vehicle and take into
account the supplements for the measurement error.
The switching field width SB can be calculated using the following formula (guideline
values based on a pixel calculation):
SB = FB + 2 × (ZG + ZR)
FB
= Vehicle width
ZG
= General safety supplement for the LiDAR sensor = 100 mm
ZR
= Supplement for application-related influences or the selected application parame‐
ters

Fields of application
In general, the LMS5xx can be used for two purposes:
•
Object measurement
see "Object measurement", page 27
•
Detection of objects with evaluation fields
see "Field application", page 37
That is why there is a wide range of possible applications. Some of these applications
are listed below:
•
Container loading/handling/positioning
•
Traffic monitoring/management
•
Robots/Pick-and-place applications
•
Property/Building protection (low faulty alarm rate)
•
Collision protection
•
Navigation
•
Mapping

Object measurement
3.7.1.1
Basic parameters
The LMS5xx PRO/Heavy Duty scans at a scanning frequency of 25 to 100 Hz or with
an angular resolution of 0.1667° to 1°. The LMS5xx Lite offers a reduced number of
possible combinations.
At a high scanning frequency or a finer angular resolution, the device delivers more
measured values.
NOTE
A scaling factor is used for some scan configurations. The distance values received via
data output must be multiplied by this factor.
