Monitor - field evaluation monitor
Figure 31: Device window: Monitor - field evaluation monitor
In the Field evaluation monitor window, SOPAS displays the field contour (scan line)
currently seen by the device through ambient reflection in blue.
If the 4 digital inputs are not energized, SOPAS displays the following for field set 1
according to the default setting of the device:
•
3 evaluation fields (segmented rectangles) or the field shape generated with the
aid of teach-in with its dimensions
•
Status of the digital inputs/outputs
•
Position of the mouse pointer
SOPAS displays the fields as green if no field breach is present.
If objects of a certain size are located for a certain duration in the part of the visual
range that is covered by fields, the device will recognize this as a field breach. SOPAS
displays this separately in yellow for the individual fields.
Click the “Reset” button to make SOPAS reset the digital output counters.
7.2.3
Parameter - evaluation cases
Response time, blanking size and digital output holding time
The blanking size is the smallest size from which an object can be detected in a field
by the device and lead to a field breach. All objects that are smaller than the minimum
size are blanked out.
Like the response time and the holding time, the blanking size applies to all field sets
and their fields.
Parameter
Factory setting
Blanking size
Cross-section 200 mm
Response time of the fields
335 ms (5 scans)
Digital output holding time
335 ms (5 scans)
When selecting the response time, note that the device internal reaction time must also
be added (max. 67 ms).
To test the effects of the changed settings, change to the “Field evaluation monitor”
view.
