Linear Output - Omron ZX-T Operation Manual

Linear Output

Output Settings (Monitor Focus)
Linear output refers to the conversion of measurement results to a 3 to 21-mA current
output or a − 5 to 5-V voltage output. This section describes how to choose either cur-
rent or voltage output and how to set the linear output range. Match the settings to suit
the connected external device.
Enter the output values for any two current values or voltage values to set the output
range.
When a Sensor Head with a model number with a "T" suffix is connected, the mea-
sured value of the output cannot be changed. Only the current output or voltage output
can be changed.
Example:
Setting − 0.5 mm to a 16-mA output and 0.5 mm to a 8-mA output (for current output)

Separate the two specified points by at least 1% of the rated measurement distance for the con-
nected Sensor.
For example, the rated measurement distance for the ZX-TSD01T Sensor is 1 mm. Therefore, the
two specified points must be separated by 10 µ m min.
Using the Zero Reset Function
Zero reset is released when monitor focus is set. Execute the zero reset again after setting monitor
focus.
