Encoder value monitoring
For detecting invalid encoder values, a value range can be defined via the parameter
. When the encoder signal leaves the set value range, the bFail status signal of the
SB
is set to TRUE and the corresponding information is displayed bit-coded in
• Example 1: SSI laser distance meter
The bFail status signal can be used to detect an interruption of the laser beam or a dirty mirror.
• Example 2: SSI bar code scanner
In an application, an SSI bar code scanner is used to detect the workpiece ID and the workpiece
position. A setting of sensible limit values serves to use the bFail status signal to determine
whether the ID or the position of the SSI bar code scanner has been detected.
