Reference measurement
A reference measurement cyclically controls the measurement function. The following func-
tions are checked on each rotation of the mirror by means of a test object located inside of
the device:
• optical systems (e.g. transmitter and receiver)
• hardware, software, etc.
Window monitoring
A total of six light axes monitor the degree of soiling of the window. During this procedure,
the results are compared with two reference sensors. Moreover, these reference sensors
are used for temperature compensation and ageing monitoring.
3.2.1
Measurement function
You can configure the measurement functions of the ROD4…plus yourself with the supplied
RODplussoft
software.
You can define the measurement mode (continuous/individual measurement), define
measurement segments (start/stop angle, angular resolution), as well as define the type of
measurement data transfer (in polar or cartesian coordinates) and pre-process and filter the
measurement results in the ROD4…plus.
3.2.2
Switching function (only ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus)
You can configure the switching functions of the ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus yourself with
the supplied
RODsoft
software. In addition to the device configuration, the software can also
be used to define detection field pairs, to adapt them to the given application and to save the
same in the ROD4 plus or ROD4-08 plus.
Four reversible detection field pairs make possible an optimal adaptation to the applications.
A detection field pair is considered to be the combination of both a
near
and
far
detection
field. The
near
and
far
detection fields are represented by different colours in the
RODsoft
configuration software:
near
= red,
far
= green.
The image of the surroundings generated during the scan process is compared with the
specified detection field contours. If an object violates a detection field for a least one scan
(40ms), a corresponding, user-specific reaction is triggered.
