Area Switching - HOKUYO AUTOMATIC UST-05LN User Manual

For the Dependent method, the following shapes are defined: Straight line, Fan, and Ratio (numerical
input is also available).
In the dependent method, output 1 serves as a basis for output 2. Similarly, output 2 can be set as the basis
for output 3.
Output region 1
Output region 2
a) Straight line
When setting the output region 2 as dependent on output region 1, the following dependent methods can
be selected: a) Straight line, b) Fan shape, c) Ratio. By moving the offset bar in the Y-axis, it changes the
size of output region 2. The output 2 cannot be made larger than the output 1. Similarly, the output region 3
is used as a basis output region 2.
For details on area configuration methods, refer to the Area Designer UST Series sensor configuration
tool Instruction manual.
When the sensor detects an object in the configured output region 1 to output region 3, the corresponding
outputs signals are switched to OFF state and the corresponding LEDs are also lit.

3.5 Area switching

A maximum of 31 sets of areas can be configured. For area switching, input signals 1 to 5 are required.
Table 3-1 below shows the combination of input signal to switch the area. Laser is switched off when all the
inputs 1 to 5 are switched ON.
