scanCONTROL 25xx
3.1.3
Special Performance Features
- scanCONTROL 25xx stands out due to its compact design. A special line-scanning optical system ensures
uniform exposure of the measuring field.
- The sensor array is arranged in the sensor head according to the Scheimpflug condition which facilitates
uniform image focusing over the whole depth of the measurement range (Z-axis).
- The scanCONTROL 2510 series with integrated profile analysis works even without a PC in conjunction
with saved configurations. The sensor runs the profile measurement internally and calculates default mea-
sured values such as angle or edge position.
Besides measurement value output via Ethernet (Modbus TCP protocol, UDP protocol) and RS422 (Mod-
bus RTU protocol or ASCII format), additional switching signals (results of the determination of limit values)
and analog measurement values can be output. This is done by an optional scanCONTROL Output Unit,
which transforms the determined measurement signals in switching and analog signals for further process-
ing in a PLC.
- scanCONTROL Gateway allows for scanCONTROL SMART sensors to be integrated into various fieldbus
systems (Profinet, Ethernet, EtherCat).
3.1.4
Advantages
- External synchronization and triggering
- Serial interface (RS422) for communication with PLC or PC
- Digital switching inputs, selectable TTL or HTL
- The automatic control of the exposure time enables consistent measurement results with changing sur-
faces. This function can be switched off on request.
- Ethernet 100/1000 Mbit as fast standard connection to PC
