Detection field contours can be defined within the detection fields drawn in figure 3.1. If an object is located within these detection field contours, this is reported by the ROD4…plus to the configurable switching outputs. For object measurement tasks, the device is configured using the RODplussoft software. ROD4… plus Leuze electronic...
The ROD4 plus and ROD4-08 plus can detect objects with diameters greater than 20mm at a distance of up to 4.0m, even if the surface of the given object is dark. Larger objects are detected in the far detection field at a distance of up to 50m. Leuze electronic ROD4… plus...
One scan over the working range returns 529 measurement values (from angle -5.04° to angle +185.04° with 0.36° angular resolution). Thus, each individual measurement value corresponds to an angular segment of 0.36°. The measurement values are sequentially numbered from segment 0 (-5.04°) to segment 528 (+185.04°), see figure 3.2.
