Window –
measuring window configuration
For position measurement there is possibility to adjust measuring window - e.g. narrow max.
field of view range or adjust start and end limits for analog output signals 4 - 20 mA (menu
items
Beg
and
End
), and adjust hysteresis to eliminate signal bouncing at the edges of
measuring window (menu items
HysB
and
HysE
).
Distance –
measuring window configuration by specifying distances
There is possibility to adjust measuring window alternative way, by specifing the distance
between sensor and measured material and distances between start of measured window and
laser pointer and between laser pointer and the end of window. Note: This configuration is not
always accurate, because intensity of infrared signal depends on conditions in the place of
installation.
Outputs –
analog outputs configuration
There are two independent analog outputs 4-20 mA in the sensor. It is possible to configure
each output to represent or position or intensity of infrared signal. There is also possibility to
specify value of output in mA, when there is no material detected (menu item
NoMatOut
).
Filters –
configuration of filters and averaging
There is possibility to adjust filters of output signals to improve accuracy or to avoid false
detection. By adjusting
SiUp
and
SiDo
values you can specify how many times signal must be
detected befor output detection signal is set on (or off respectively) . Value is in miliseconds.
By adjusting
Pos
value you can specify moving average of analog output position signal per
miliseconds.
Tests –
tests of sensor's function
There is possibility to test various sensor's functions, e.g. to check if it is installed correctly.
You can manually set detection signal to on, set analog outputs to specified value in mA, or to
check detection of infrared signal by switching on infrared LED diode inside the sensor. (Note:
Sensor's IR-LED is situated near the beginning of sensors field of view, so its function can be
checked correctly only in provided software, where you can view pulse). All tests are ended
when you quit menu
Tests
.
There is also possibility to check sensor's function remotely via test relay. Detection signal is
set to on, and analog outputs are set to 12mA.
Comm –
communication configuration
There is possibility to set various parameters of RS232 and RS485 serial communication here.
SysInfo –
information about sensor
Here you can see model number, serial number, firmware version, uptime from start and actual
temperature inside the sensor.
Fact.Res
– reset of all set values to factory defaults.
