3.2 Output interfaces

The DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H) contains different interfaces. Measurement results and errors are signaled at the outputs as described below.
RS-232 The RS-232 is meant for the configuration of the device, however measurement can also be taken using the RS-232
interface. Measurement results and/or error codes are sent corresponding to the command description. To use this
interface host system is needed as described in 3.3.1 Controlled mode on page 10.
RS-422 The RS-422 operates like the RS-232, but it is an industrial interface and therefore not only usable for configuration
but also for controlled measurement as described in 3.3.1 Controlled mode on page 10.
The RS-422 can not be used simultaneous with the SSI interface since it uses the same signal lines.
SSI Output The SSI Interface is only implemented in the FLS type. The SSI interface is updated after each successful measurement
as well as after an error occurs. If the interface is activated, it is updated in all operation modes.
Binary and Gray code as well as error signalization is supported. (See 4.2.6 SSI connection on page 19)
Analog Output The analog output is updated in controlled and stand-alone mode. It is configurable and works with two ranges:
Digital Outputs
Three digital outputs are included in the DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H). Two of them are programmable, while the third is used
to signal an error state of the device. The digital outputs are updated in all operation modes.

3.2.1 Output configuration example

After connecting the DLS-C(H)/FLS-C(H), the following steps are necessary to configure the output behavior.
No. Action
Set current output range
1
Set distance range
2
Set analog output in case of
an error
3
Configure digital output
4
Configure SSI Output

Note: If the serial line settings of the device have been lost, please reset the configuration to the factory settings (8 Factory settings on
page 28) using the reset button (6.2 Reset switch on page 24). Please note that the ID switch must be reset manually.
Distance Laser Sensor
M
EFERENCE ANUAL
- 0..20mA
- 4..20mA
Defines the current output range from 0 to
20mA or from 4 to 20mA.
Example for device 0:
Set current output range from 4mA to 20mA.
Defines the minimum distance (D
maximum distance (D
range of the analog output.
Example for device 0:
Set distance range from 0m to 10m
Sets the current that should be applied in
case of an error.
Example for device 0:
Set current to 0mA in case of an error.
Set the ON and OFF level for the digital
outputs.
Example for device 0:
DO 1: off=2000mm on=2005mm
DO 2: off=4000mm on=4005mm
Activate SSI output (RS-422 is deactivated)
Example for device 0:
Set SSI configuration
Set output value in error case to 12345
The changed configuration must be saved to
make it permanent.
Example for device 0:
