The behavior of each blanking area can be adapted to the requirements of the application:
For an example configuration, see chapter 15.4.
Auto blanking during teaching
If there are obstacles present in the measurement field at the installation site and at least one blanking
area is activated, interrupted beams can be mapped to the blanking area(s) during teaching. Existing
settings for the blanking areas are then overwritten (see chapter 8.2).
If no beams are interrupted during teaching, no blanking areas are configured.
Up to four adjacent beam areas can be suppressed.
The beams can be activated or suppressed via the respective fieldbus interface (see chapter 10
et seq.), via the
Sensor Studio
configuration software (see chapter 16) and partially via the ope
-
rational controls on the receiver.

Logical value of a blanking area
Meaning in the application
No beams are blanked
All beams of the device are included in the evaluation.
Logical value 0 for blanked beams
All beams of the blanking area are taken into account
as interrupted beams (logical value 0) in the evalua

tion.
Logical value 1 for blanked beams
All beams of the blanking area are taken into account
as free beams (logical value 1) in the evaluation.
Logical value is the same as the adjacent
beam with lower beam number
All beams of the blanking area behave in the evalua
-
tion like the previous beam.
Logical value is the same as the adjacent
beam with higher beam number
All beams of the blanking area behave in the evalua
-
tion like the subsequent beam.
NOTICE
Teach after changing the blanking configuration!
Perform a teach after changing the blanking configuration (see chapter 8.2).
