4 Sensor Configuration

4.1 Configuration

Shows the arameters that affect the sensor/controller (see Fig. 3 ILD1700

Sensor Configuration).

Fig. 3 ILD1700 Sensor Configuration

4.1.1 Connection Setting

The COM ort the ILD1700 controller is connected to. Su orted ort

numbers are COM1 to COM16. The sensor uses a RS422 to USB interface that

is ma ed to a COM ort, which can be viewed in the device manager. For

the exact ort number see the device called ‘USB to Serial Port’. On a

German OS, that item is located in ‘Anschlüsse (COM und LPT)’.

4.1.1.1 Baud Rate

The baud rate, which the controller is currently using to transfer arameters

and data.

ILD1700 Tool

___________________________________________________________________________

Micro-Epsilon Page 8

4.1.1.2 COM Port

The ort that should be used to communicate with. Available orts are

COM1 to COM16. The device manager shows which orts are installed and

eventually which devices are using them.

4.1.2 Sensor Parameters

4.1.2.1 Baud Rate

This arameter determines the communication baud rate of the controller.

When writing the arameters to the controller (see button ‘Write Configuration

To Sensor’) first all others arameters are written and at last, the baud rate is

changed. A different baud rate requires disconnecting and reconnecting to

the controller, which is executed automatically. All subsequent

communication will use that new baud rate.

4.1.2.2 Measurement Frequency

Determines the maximal ossible ex osure time (e.g. at 2.5kHz the max.

ex osure time is 0.4 ms). Available sam ling rates are: 2.5kHz, 1.25kHz,

625Hz, and 312.5Hz. However, these sam ling rates do not always match

the data rate, because the baud rate, the transfer mode and the

synchronization do have some effect on it. The effective data rate can be

viewed in the section ‘Sensor Information’ after executing the ‘Read Sensor

Info’ button (see Sensor Information). The sensor manual contains a table that

shows more on that.

4.1.2.3 Output Type

The mode ‘RS422’ activates the digital data out ut. The items ‘4 20mA’ and

‘0 10V’ activate the analog data out ut ( in 13). The limit out uts ( in 7 and

8) work in analog mode only.

4.1.2.4 Synchronization

Determines the synchronization method with other ILD1700 sensors. The

modes ‘Slave’ and ‘Master Sync Alt ’ affect the data rate. See the sensor

manual for more on that.

4.1.2.5 Average Type

Available averaging modes are: Recursive, Moving, Median.

4.1.2.6 Average Number

The higher the averaging number the smoother the signal will look, but a high

averaging number may im air the measured signal.

4.1.3 Calibration

Dis lays whether the sensor was mastered or set to mid- oint. Both actions

can be executed only by the ‘Zero’ button on the sensor.

Mid-point: When the sensor is in Error Mode the Zero button on the housing

commands the sensor to use the current distance as mid- oint (5V or 12mA)

of the measurement range which only affects the analog data out ut.

(This works similar to the ‘Set Zero’ function in the included Data Acquisition

rogram, which just calculates an offset on the digital measurement values.)

Mastering: When the sensor is in Switch Mode (also called Limit Mode) the

Zero button commands the sensor to set the currently measured value to the

Master Value. The master value can be set in the ‘Sensor Configuration’

ILD1700 Tool

___________________________________________________________________________

Micro-Epsilon Page 9

rogram, see section ‘Switch Output’ arameter ‘Master Value’. This has an

effect on the analog and digital data out uts.

Mastering works much as common calibration does. A reference target of

known distance is measured by the sensor (that distance is sent to the sensor

as arameter ‘Master Value’). Next triggering the Zero button on the sensor

calibrates the sensor distance for that reference target.

4.1.4 Additional Parameters

4.1.4.1 Error Handling

‘Hold Last Valid Value’ makes the sensor ut out the last measured value after

the sensor ‘looses’ its target. To loose a target means no valid target is in

range or the sensor cannot see the laser oint.

‘Set Error Value’ commands the sensor to ut out an error value as indication

that no valid target is recognized.

4.1.4.2 Transfer Mode

The ‘Binary’ mode is faster and eventually delivers more measurement

values, es ecially when connecting with slower baud rates. Therefore, the

included data acquisition rogram switches the sensor into binary mode

when started.

The ‘ASCII’ mode may be more suitable when using the Hy erTerminal or

other diagnostic tools to communicate with the sensor.

4.1.4.3 Laser

Turns the laser diode on or off.

4.1.4.4 Sensor Keys

Disables/enables the buttons on the sensor housing to revent unintended

changes.

4.1.5 Switch Output – Properties

Exce t for the ‘Master Value’, this section is useful for the analog out ut

modes only.

4.1.5.1 Monitoring

Sets the sensor and the limit/error out uts F1 and F2 into limit or error mode.

Error Mode: Indicates an error on either error out ut F1 or F2 ( in7 or in8)

when no valid target is recognized. (The arameter Limit Assignment

determines which).

Limit Mode: Uses the limit out uts F1 and F2 to indicate limit violations

(which is es ecially useful for roduction surveillance). In case of an error,

both limit out uts are activated.

4.1.5.2 Limit Assignment

Either assigns the limit out ut F1 or F2 to the Upper Limit. The other of the two

indicates a limit violation of the Lower Limit.

4.1.5.3 Upper Limit

A threshold for the analog surveillance of the measurement values.

Determines the furthest distance from the sensor head a measured object

may have, before a limit violation error is indicated on the out ut F2 (or F1 if

the arameter Limit Assignment is set to that).

ILD1700 Tool

___________________________________________________________________________

Micro-Epsilon Page 10

4.1.5.4 Upper Hysteresis

If the measurement value falls below this threshold the limit out ut F2 (or F1)

is reset to normal state; i.e. no longer indicates a limit violation.

4.1.5.5 Master Value

Value that is used by the sensor if the Zero button on the sensor housing is

ressed. The sensor then uses its current measurement value as reference

oint, sets it to zero, and adds the master value. This method can be used to

calibrate the senor osition by using a reference target of known

distance/thickness (see 4.1.3).

4.1.5.6 Lower Hysteresis

If the measurement value rises again above this threshold the limit out ut F1

(or F2) is reset to normal state; i.e. no longer indicates a lower limit violation.

4.1.5.7 Lower Limit

A threshold for the analog surveillance of the measurement. The closest

distance a measured object may have from the sensor head before an error

is indicated on the out ut F1 (or F2, which de ends on the arameter Limit

Assignment).

4.1.6 Sensor Information

Dis lays some general information about the sensor.

4.1.6.1 Sensor Range

Measurement range of the sensor.

4.1.6.2 Read Sensor Info

This button requests the sensor to ut out its arameters, e.g.: firmware

version, serial number, article number and some additional information.

4.1.7 Configuration Management

This section su orts the storage of arameter sets in files. Can be used to

build a database of resets for different tasks, back u controller settings, or

sim ly to transfer setting from one sensor to another.

The edit field shows the file name of the most recently accessed arameter

set.

Save to file…: O ens a ‘save as’ dialog to browse to a storage destination

and select or enter a filename.

Load from file…: Shows a dialog to browse to a stored file.

4.1.8 Transfer Configuration

Load Configuration From Sensor:

Reads the current settings from the sensor, e.g. sam le rate, switch mode…

and shows them in the ILD1700 Sensor Configuration dialog.

Write Configuration To Sensor:

The arameters of the sensor can be either set u by using the enabled

in ut fields or loaded from a configuration file (see 4.1.7). This button writes

these arameters to the sensor/controller.
