The gauge will behave as if it is measuring a randomly
changing speed.

on the “Measurement Unit” setting.
Normal Operation Mode
In “Normal”
operation
mode, the user may set two length presets (“
Preset Length 1
” and “
Preset
Length 2
”)
.
Whenever the measured length
exceeds
any length preset, the corresponding logic output assigned
to that length preset will be activated (pulled-low).
The logic output will be deactivated (floating) when:
The measured length is reset to zero by:
o
Activating a
logic input configured for the “Reset” function
.
o
Clicking t
he PCiS_SLmini software “Reset”
button.
o
Writing logic 1 to input parameter DW0.1.
The measured length falls below the length preset (applicable only to the SLR mini when the
measured length is decrementing due to line direction reversal).
Batch Operation Mode
“Batch”
operation mode is used when a continuous object is being measured for marking (e.g. by an
inkjet printer) or cutting (e.g. by a guillotine) at regular intervals.
In “Batch” mode, the user may set a
“
Batch
Length” and a “Batch Number”
.
As each
“
Batch
length” segment of the object is measured,
the corresponding logic output assigned to
the “Batch Length” function will be
momentarily
activated (pulled-low; the activation time may be
configured by the user).
When the total number of segments measured
equals or exceeds
the “Batch Number”, then the
corresponding logic output assigned to the “Batch Number” function, will be activated (pulled
-low).
The real-time measured segment and total lengths may be viewed using the PCiS_SLmini software or
read out of the gauge from output parameters DW6-7 and DW12-13 respectively. The current
segment number may be read from output parameter DW10.
