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).

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.
