Technical overview
Table 3.1:
Device types
The ROD4…plus is an optical, two-dimensional measuring distance sensor. It could also be
referred to as an optical, area radar unit. The device periodically transmits light pulses within
an scanning angle of 190° via a rotating deflector unit.
If the pulses are incident upon objects or obstacles, the light is reflected and then received
and analysed by the ROD4…plus. From the propagation time of the radiated light and the
current angle of the deflector unit, the ROD4…plus unit calculates the exact coordinates of
the object.
These data can be used by the ROD4…plus for 2 different areas of application:
1.
Object measurement
An angular resolution of 0.36° allows the distance to objects to be measured with an
accuracy of 5mm within the measurement range drawn in figure 3.1.
2.
Object detection (only ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus)
Detection field contours can be defined within the detection fields drawn in figure 3.1.
If an object is located within these detection field contours, this is reported by the
ROD4…plus to the configurable switching outputs.
For
object measurement
tasks, the device is configured using the
RODplussoft
software.
