4.8.
Operating mode 6 (Ranging mode)
Description
While calibrated distance data is accessible in all 6 operating modes of the sensor, mode 6
leaves the sensor working as a ranging device, without the use of programmable distance
thresholds and trigger zones.
Setup
No setup required. Sensor measures distance data as soon as powered.
Operation mode
The sensor will continuously sample distance data and no other computations are
performed. The NO/NC switching output is disabled in mode 6, as well as any LED
signalization (TH1 and TH2 LEDs will be steady green except for errors).
The distance data can be read via Modbus function 04: Read input register at address 0
(note that the length to be read is 2, as the “new distance” flag is sent together with the
distance data). Please refer to
for more information.
