Now mount the sensors to Robotinos
®
chassis. First of all, secure the fibre-optic
mounting bracket (1) to the bottom of the chassis by inserting two screws into the
slot from underneath. The slots (2) at the front of the chassis for the mounting
bracket have different functions. The long slot is used to secure the mounting
bracket. The short slot acts as a window through which the light beam from the
fibre-optic cable is allowed to pass. How far apart the fibre-optic cables (3) need to
be mounted depends upon the width of the object to be detected.
Screw the fibre-optic mounting bracket to the chassis at the location shown in the
photo. The mounting bracket is secured from underneath with the included screws
(3 mm hexagon socket head screws). Secure both mounting brackets.
Make sure that the fibre-optic head is in the correct slot!
Now mount the fibre-optic unit (4) to the mounting plate in the Robotino
®
. Secure it
to the threaded holes provided to this end with the included screws (5).
Inductive analogue sensor
The inductive analogue sensor is simply clamped into the permanently installed
retainer. Loosen the knurled screw on the retainer to this end. Push the sensor, plug
side up, into the hole provided for this purpose, hold it in the desired position and
retighten the knurled screw.
A cable with plug is furnished with the sensor. Plug the cable into the sensor and
tighten the knurled nut.
Observe the sensor’s working range!
All of the sensors are connected to the I/O interface via the contact strip, and thus to
the controller. Please refer to this documentation and the data sheets for the
individual sensors regarding pin allocations for the I/O interface and wiring of the
sensors.
