The measuring system is designed for use in industrial environments and meets the requirements. Intended Use - The combiSENSOR 64x0 measuring system is designed for use in industrial and laboratory applications. It is used for measuring film thickness of plastics ...
- The space between the sensor surface and the target must have an unvarying dielectric constant. - The space between the sensor surface and the target may not be contaminated (for example water, rubbed-off parts, dust, etc.) combiSENSOR 64x0 Page 9...
The measured AC voltage is demodulated, amplified and output as an analog voltage. The sensor design with guard ring electrodes guarantees that the ideally necessary homogenous electrical field is realized for all practical purposes. A measurement object that is too small and curved (uneven) measurement surfaces also produce a non-linear characteristic. combiSENSOR 64x0 Page 10...
Through the redundancy of this combined sensor principle, the measured thickness value remains unaffected by any changes in the measurement setup. The target thickness T is calculated from both sensor signals. combiSENSOR 64x0 Page 11...

This sensor mounting option offers maximum reliability because the sensor is clamped around its cylindrical housing. It is absolutely necessary in difficult installation environments, for example on machines, production plants et cetera.

For that purpose the signal noise is calculated dynamically and measurement changes are only transferred, if they exceed this calculated noise. Thereby at a change in direction of the measurement signal small hystere- sis effects in the size of the calculated noise can occur. combiSENSOR 64x0 Page 30...
The data logging of all channels is synchronous. Connect the combiSENSOR 64x0 to an available Ethernet interface at the PC. Use a crossover cable. For a connection with the combiSENSOR 64x0 you will require a defined IP address of the network interface Control Panel\Network Connections.

Appendix| EtherCAT Documentation EtherCAT Documentation EtherCAT® is, from the Ethernet viewpoint, a single, large Ethernet station that transmits and receives Ether- net telegrams. Such an EtherCAT system consists of an EtherCAT master and up to 65535 EtherCAT slaves. Master and slaves communicate via a standard Ethernet wiring. On-the-fly processing hardware is used in each slave.
Appendix| EtherCAT Documentation A 2.1.2 EtherCAT® Services In EtherCAT® services for the reading and writing of data are specified in the physical memory of the slave hardware. The following EtherCAT® services are supported by the slave hardware: - APRD (Autoincrement physical read, Reading of a physical area with auto-increment addressing) - APWR (Autoincrement physical write, Writing of a physical area with auto-increment addressing) - APRW (Autoincrement physical read write, Reading and writing of a physical area with auto-increment ad- dressing)
Appendix| EtherCAT Documentation A 2.1.3 Addressing and FMMUs In order to address a slave in the EtherCAT® system, various methods from the master can be used. The KSS6430 supports as full slave: - Position addressing The slave device is addressed via its physical position in the EtherCAT® segment. The services used for this are APRD, APWR, APRW.
Appendix| EtherCAT Documentation A 2.1.5 EtherCAT State Machine The EtherCAT® state machine is implemented in each EtherCAT®. Directly after switching on the combiSEN- SOR 64x0, the state machine is in the “Initialization“ state. In this state, the master has access to the DLL information register of the slave hardware.
Tx PDOs are used for the transmission of data from the slaves to the master (inputs), Rx PDOs are used to transmit data from the master to the slaves (outputs); not used in the combiSENSOR 64x0. The PDO mapping defines which application objects (measurement data) are transmitted into a PDO. The combiSEN- SOR 64x0 has a Tx PDO for the measuring data.
Appendix| EtherCAT Documentation A 2.2 CoE – Object Directory The CoE object directory (CANopen over EtherCAT) contains all the configuration data of the sensor. The objects in CoE object directory can be accessed using the SDO services. Each object is addressed using a 16-bit index.
