“State ‘Stopped‘ Noti-
fication: Method“:
To select how and if the LVMC notifies that it is in “stopped” state. This can be used
to distinguish several LVMCs. The functionality is turned off when “Light Turned
Off” is selected. If notification is desired, you can choose between four methods:
“Flashing Light”:
The red light of the sensor is turned on and off. The time it is on and the time it is
off is equal. It is defined by parameter “Cycle Time”.
“Running Light Type A”:
The sensor shows a running light, starting at the side where the electronics is lo-
cated. The time for one pass is defined by parameter “Cycle Time”.
“Running Light Type B”:
The sensor shows a running light, ending at the side where the electronics is lo-
cated. The time for one pass is defined by parameter “Cycle Time”.
“Bouncing Light”: The sensor shows a running light that bounces from one end to
the other. The time for one pass is defined by parameter “Cycle Time”.
“State ‘Stopped‘ Noti-
fication: Cycle Time”:
This is the cycle time used for the selected state “stopped” notification method. The
minimum value is 250ms, and the value must be a multiple of 250ms.
“Minimum Required
Passing Time”:
The minimum passing time of an object. By increasing this value, the LVMC gets
more robust against harsh environments.
“Maximum
Permissible Passing
Time”:
The maximum permissible passing time of an object. After this time has elapsed,
the LVMC stops running and the error message “Maximum permissible passing
time overrun: Object stuck? - LVMC waits until object is removed” is issued.
“Minimum Required
Object Size”:
The minimum object size that should be detectable by the LVMC. The value must
be equal to or higher than the size resolution of the LVMC. The size resolution is
shown in the LVMC Information window that can be opened by menu entry “Show
Information about this LVMC”.
“Sensing Area Static
Coverage Size“:
By use of this input value, it is possible to define the size of an area of the sensing
area that is statically covered. This is useful, if for example a conveyor or other ma-
chine parts reach into the sensing area.
Attention: The measuring function of the device s maybe limited if an object is stat-
ically in the sensing area.
“Calibration”:
The entered value in percent is used to calibrate the sensor in order to increase
accuracy. If objects pass the sensing area always in the same predefined narrow
area, this factor can be used to correct the detected object size by the given per-
centage.
