Page 6: For Your Safety
Thanks to its uniform, open interface, the weCat3D series can be incorporated by means of the DLL (Win- dows)/so (Linux) or the GigE Vision standard without an additional control unit. Alternatively, wenglor offers its own software packages for implementing your application. Individualized selection from a great variety of working ranges, laser classes and light types (red and blue light) ensures maximized flexibility for two and three- dimensional object detection. -

• A cooling unit should be used as of an ambient temperature of 45° C or in the event that the sensor is mounted in a thermally insulated manner. Cooling units can be found at www.wenglor.com under “Supplementary Accessories” on the respective product page. -
Page 29: Tilting Around The A-Axis
5.1.3 Tilting Around the a-Axis Tilting should be avoided in order to obtain ideal profile quality. Nevertheless, thanks to their large dynamic range, weCat3D Sensors continue to provide measured values even in the event of tilting. 5.1.4 Tilting Around the b-Axis Tilting should be avoided in order to obtain uniform signal distribution for best possible profile quality. -

Page 33: Installation
5.4 Installation 5.4.1 Electrical Connection There are two plug connectors on the sensor. The sensor is supplied with 24V operating power via the 12-pin plug. The 8-pin socket is used for communicating process and parameters data. There are also variants with 3 plugs. The additional 8-pin plug is used to switch the laser. Note! Maximum permissible length of the power supply cable is 30 m. -
Page 34: Adjusting The Sensor's Network Settings
5.4.4 Adjusting the Sensor’s Network Settings Upon shipment from the factory, the sensor’s IP address is 192.168.100.1 and its subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Page 37: Page Layout
6.2 Page Layout The integrated website is subdivided into the following areas: Language Selection The website can be changed from English to German with the language selection function. Sensor Status I/O1…I/O4 Indicates the current switching status of the respective input or output. (1/0) User LED Indicates the color in which the user LED currently lights up (off, green, red, orange). - Page 38 Network load Indicates the network’s current transmission load (at the sensor side). Continuous utilization of close to 100 % should be avoided because overrun might otherwise occur at the sensor’s network buffer. Utilization can be influenced by reducing the measuring rate or by changing the content of the transmission protocol.

Page 39: Device, General
6.2.1 Device, General This is the sensor’s initial page which displays all relevant information concerning the device such as order number, product version, manufacturer, description, serial number and MAC address, as well as hardware and firmware version. These entries play an important role in the event of technical problems and when contacting Technical Support with questions. - Page 40 OLED Display Settings Language Sets the language for the display (German, English, French Spanish or Italian). Rotate The display is rotated 180° (on/off). Intensity Adjusts display performance. • Normal: Display intensity is set to the default value. • Energy saving: If no keys are pressed for a period of one minute the display is switched off, and is switched back on as soon as a key is activated.

6.2.3 2D/3D Profile Settings Profile view Signal 1/2 The signals can be displayed or hidden by selecting or unselecting the checkboxes (this affects the display only and doesn’t influence the parameter settings). The individual colors have the following meanings: White: Signal 1 Red: Signal 2 (only visible with corresponding software setting) Yellow: Signal strength, signal 1 Orange: Signal strength, signal 2 (only visible with corresponding software setting) - Page 42 ROI Settings The region of interest (ROI) or the sensor’s active range consists of the four following variables: offset X, width X, offset Z and height Z. These variable are specified in pixels and can be changed as desired within their re- spective limits.

- Page 44 Signal Selection All of the internal camera’s columns are searched for signals. If two or more signals are detected in a single column, the user can specify the order in which the signals are read out as distance value Z. NOTE! This setting can be used to reduce reflection and other laser line interference.

Attention: Exceeding the sensor’s maximum measuring rate must be avoided. Pin function • Sync out: Output function for synchronizing additional sensors. The sync out pin is connected with the sync in pin of other sensors.
- Page 49 Pin function • Profile enable: Input function which enables profile recording for as long as the signal is applied. NOTE! In combination with the “fixed” mode, the “profile active” pin function is used to start the specified number of profiles. If the signal remains continuously active, the sensor transmits a multiple of the defined number of profiles (see also “Num- ber of Profiles”...

Page 50: Using More Than One Sensor (Synchronization)
6.3 Using More than One Sensor (synchronization) It may be necessary to use more than one weCat3D in an application. This is fundamentally possible, but it necessitates special wiring and sensor configuration depending on sensor array and how the sensors are used. -
