Applications
The following typical applications with corresponding function (see chapter 4) exist for the switching light
curtain.
5.1
Object counting
Figure 5.1:
Object counting
For object counting, the switching output is assigned to an IO pin. The evaluation is done by an external
program.
mapping beam area to switching output
Function:
For more precise object counting, e.g. when several small objects are located in the measurement field,
you can select crossed-beam scanning and divide the measurement field into up to eight areas. The states
of the areas generated are read out in the process data by means of the
beam mode: crossed beam
