•
For object-based measuring and reading, the sensors and SIM2000-2 Prime controller
require a trigger signal and an incremental signal.
•
The trigger signal can be triggered by the entry of the object into the path of a photo-
electric retro-reflective sensor, via a software command, or via a customer-controlled
digital signal.
•
The trigger signal activates the connected sensors and opens the internal reading gate.
•
The reading gate determines the start and end of the measuring process. It corresponds
to the trigger length in the conveying direction.
•
The measuring process lasts for as long as the reading gate is open. The reading gate
is closed when the object exits the measurement and reading field.
•
An incremental encoder connected to the SIM2000-2 Prime controller supplies,
together with the trigger signal, information for defining the exact position of the object
on the conveying equipment.
•
This information is required to calculate the length information and for correct
assignment of the measurement results to the object.
NOTE!
Other operating modes are also possible in addition to tracking operation.
