Sensor Information; Configuration Management; Ransfer Onfiguration - MICRO-EPSILON ILD1700 User Manual

ILD1700 Tool
4.1.5.4 Upper Hysteresis
If the measurement value falls below this threshold the limit output F2 (or F1)
is reset to normal state; i.e. no longer indicates a limit violation.
4.1.5.5 Master Value
Value that is used by the sensor if the Zero button on the sensor housing is
pressed. The sensor then uses its current measurement value as reference
point, sets it to zero, and adds the master value. This method can be used to
calibrate the senor position by using a reference target of known
distance/thickness (see 4.1.3).
4.1.5.6 Lower Hysteresis
If the measurement value rises again above this threshold the limit output F1
(or F2) is reset to normal state; i.e. no longer indicates a lower limit violation.
4.1.5.7 Lower Limit
A threshold for the analog surveillance of the measurement. The closest
distance a measured object may have from the sensor head before an error
is indicated on the output F1 (or F2, which depends on the parameter Limit
Assignment).

4.1.6 Sensor Information

Displays some general information about the sensor.
4.1.6.1 Sensor Range
Measurement range of the sensor.
4.1.6.2 Read Sensor Info
This button requests the sensor to put out its parameters, e.g.: firmware
version, serial number, article number and some additional information.

4.1.7 Configuration Management

This section supports the storage of parameter sets in files. Can be used to
build a database of presets for different tasks, back up controller settings, or
simply to transfer setting from one sensor to another.
The edit field shows the file name of the most recently accessed parameter
set.
Save to file...: Opens a 'save as' dialog to browse to a storage destination
and select or enter a filename.
Load from file...: Shows a dialog to browse to a stored file.
4.1.8 Transfer Configuration
Load Configuration From Sensor:
Reads the current settings from the sensor, e.g. sample rate, switch mode...
and shows them in the ILD1700 Sensor Configuration dialog.
Write Configuration To Sensor:
The parameters of the sensor can be either set up by using the enabled
input fields or loaded from a configuration file (see 4.1.7). This button writes
these parameters to the sensor/controller.
