5 Explanation of sensor configuration
The functionality of the sensor can be configured with the parameters and the commands. In the following
sections, the individual configuration options are explained in detail.
5.1 Teach-in of a user-specific switching point
5.1.1 Parameters
Switching points work: This parameter contains the currently used switching point and can be
written directly (numerical teach-in) or set automatically to an object via the
interim register during teach-in. The parameter consists of two 16-bit
parameters Switching point A and Switching point B, whereby one
switching point respectively must have the value 65535 (corresponds to
"not valid").
- Unit:
1 mm
- Factory setting: Switching point A = 50mm, Switching point B =
65535 "not valid"
Teach-in positions interim:
This parameter serves as an interim register for teaching-in the switching
point to an object (1-point teach-in) or to a reference position and an object
(2-point teach-in). The parameter consists of two 16-bit parameters Teach-
in position A interim and Teach-in position B interim.
- Unit:
1 mm
5.1.2 Commands
Teach-in position A: Command for teaching-in position A. The taught-in value is transferred to
the interim register Teach-in position A interim.
Teach-in position B:
Command for teaching-in position B. The taught-in value is transferred to
the interim register Teach-in position B interim.
Transfer switching points:
The positions A and B taught into the interim register Teach-in position
interim are offset against one another, transferred to the working register
Switching points work and activated.
5.1.3 Description
The switching point of the sensors described here can be adjusted by the user in two ways:
•
Numerical teach-in: The switching point can be written directly into the parameter Switching points
work. The two parameters selected for the switching point must not be smaller than 50 mm and not
larger than 400 mm for sensors with background suppression (or 800 mm for SmartReflect). One
parameter respectively must be 65535 (not valid). The switching function (light/dark switching) is
defined by the selection of the switching point parameter (A/B).
•
Teach into object (1-point teach-in): The switching point is taught into an object for measurement
with the command Teach-in position. The switching function (light/dark switching) is defined by the
selection of the teach-in parameter (A/B). If the object is outside of the adjustable sensing distance,
the minimum or maximum sensing range is taught in.
•
Teach into reference position and object (2-point teach-in): To teach in the switching point with 2-
point teach-in, the command Teach-in position must be executed at two positions: once to a solid
reference position (background of the object or a reflecting machine part) and once to the object
