Laser Class During operation of the sensor the pertinent regulations acc. to EN 60825-1 on „radiation safety of laser equipment“ must be fully observed at all times. The sensor complies with all applicable laws for the manufac- turer of laser devices. Do not look directly into teach in laser on...
Functional Principle, Technical Data Functional Principle, Technical Data Functional Principle The sensor uses the principle of optical triangula- tion, i.e. a visible, modulated point of light is pro- teach in laser on state jected onto the target surface. The diffuse element of the reflection of the light spot optoNCDT is imaged by a receiver optical element positioned at a certain angle to the optical axis of the laser...
Functional Principle, Technical Data 3.2.2 Exposure Control Dark or shining objects to be measured may require a longer exposure time. However, the controller is not capable of providing exposure which is any longer than permitted by the measurement rate. For a longer ex- posure time, therefore, the measurement rate of the sensor has to be reduced, see Chap.
Functional Principle, Technical Data 3.2.9 Video Signal The sensor can use different peaks in the CCD array for displacement measuring. This function is auxiliary, if the sensor measures against glass or transparent targets. See Chap. 8.3.15 also. CCD array Displacement 1 Displacement 2 Measuring range Fig.

Operation Operation Getting Ready for Operation Install and assemble the optoNCDT1402 in accordance with the instructions set out in Chapter 5.1, and connect it with the indicator or monitoring unit and the power supply, having full regard to the connec- tion instructions set out in Chapter 5.2.
Operation Output 20 mA Scaling Default characteristic Analog The “teaching” scales output the analog output (4 to 20 mA) for a part of the 4 mA measuring range. This 3 mA allows you to optimize Measuring range the resolution for the Measuring object analog measurement range.

Operation Recommendations: Use a high measurement rate for light colored and matt objects to be measured. Use a low measurement rate for dark or shiny objects to be measured (e.g. surfaces covered in black lacquer), for better measurement results. The sensor continues to measure internally but Output Maximum output rate holds back the output until the last measurement...
Operation Timing The controller operates internally with real time cycles in a pipeline mode: 1. Exposure: Charging the image detector in the receiver (measurement). 2. Reading: Reading out of the imaging device and converting into digital data. 3. Computation: Measurement computation. 4.
Operation Triggering The ILD1402 measurement output is controllable through an external signal on the trigger input. Therefore the external input “Teach in“ must be configured for triggering, see Chap. 8.3.14. This can be done with the “ILD1402 Tool“ (“Configuration“ > “General Settings“ > “Digital Input: trigger acquisition“) also. Basics, procedure: The sensor measures and calculates also, if no trigger pulses are pending.
Measurement Value Output Measurement Value Output The optoNCDT1402 can issue the measurement values either via the analog output or the RS422 serial inter- face.

Instructions for Operating 9.2.2 Color Differences Because of intensity compensation, color difference of targets affect the measuring result only slightly. How- ever, such color differences are often combined with different penetration depths of the laser light into the material. Different penetration depths then result in apparent changes of the measuring spot size. Therefore color differences in combination with changes of penetration depth may lead to measuring errors.
