for a detailed description of the mentioned application examples and
While the RS-232 should be used for the configuration of the device (See
3.1 Connection for configuration on page 8) the RS-422 is made for
communication in industrial environment (See 3.3.1 Controlled mode on
page 10 and 4.2.4 Serial connection on page 18).
Fig. 2 shows the connection of multiple DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H) devices to a
Siemens S7 PLC. A detailed application note can be found on
www.dimetix.com.
For RS-422 connections use twisted pair cables only!.
Activate the stand-alone mode (3.3.2 Stand-alone mode on page 11) and the
device is ready to use. It starts measuring after power on and updates the analog
and digital output according to the configuration. See 9.3.4 and the following
chapters for the configuration commands.
If Display Mode is enabled, the DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H) formats the measured distance
as ASCII string, which is understood by External Displays with a serial interface.
Since the DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H) transfers this formatted string automatically on the
serial interface after completing a measurement. Measurement results can be
displayed on an external display without an additional controller.
Check www.dimetix.com for a detailed application note.
The DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H) includes the option of triggering measurements with an
external switch or push button on Digital Input 1 (DI 1). Using the Digital Input DI 1
disables the Digital Output DO 1.
