SICK LSI Technical Description - 06/98
Configure hardware
You can edit the received configuration or create a new
configuration.
To create a new configuration:
•
From the menu choose
File - New
and click on
LSI Configuration.
•
Click on OK.
This dialog box appears. This is where you set the sensor type
you want to work with.
•
Select your sensor type or have the sensor detected
automatically by clicking on Detect.
•
Click on Continue.
The further steps and dialog boxes are the same as those
described below for Edit Configuration.
To edit the received configuration:
•
From the menu choose
LSI - Configuration - Edit.
•
Or choose the Edit Configuration button from the toolbar.
This dialog box appears. This is where you set the address under
which the LSI and the sensors are to be addressed.
•
Select whether you want to use a universal or single
address.
Universal address (zero):
This is the recommended setting. If you set Universal
address, the stored configuration can be transferred at a
later time to any other LSI.
Single address (between 5 and 126):
If you set Single address you assign the LSI the address
specified here for transferring the configuration. It is then
only possible to reload a configuration at a later time if the
address specified here and the one stored in the LSI match.
This makes sense when you want to ensure that a
configuration saved as a file can only be transmitted to
specific LSI units.
•
Click on Continue.
This dialog box appears. This is where you set field of application
of your LSI system.
•
Select whether you want to use the LSI for area protection or
vehicle protection (e.g. DTS - Driverless Transport Systems).
•
Select the evaluation you want to use.
Standard:
Standard evaluation.
Pixel suppression:
With this setting objects detected by just one pixel per scan
are ignored. This can be useful in preventing error
shutdowns.
•
Click on Continue.
