  • Page 7: Product Specifications

    SmartRunner Detector Product Specifications Product Specifications Use and Application The SmartRunner laser-line triangulation sensor creates a high-precision 2-D height profile of an object at near range. For this purpose, a laser line is projected onto an object and is detected by a camera at a specific angle. Height and width information are determined using the triangulation principle.
  • Page 8 SmartRunner Detector Product Specifications Flat Profile Figure 2.3 Measurement Result Figure 2.4 The SmartRunner has an optimized hardware and software platform. It is available in different versions for specific applications. The device is certified according to laser protection class 1.
  • Page 9 SmartRunner Detector Product Specifications SmartRunner Detector The detector monitors a defined area. To do so, the laser projects a high-precision light grid onto the previously configured area. Objects < 1 mm can be detected by the high resolution. Even small projections can be detected precisely.

    SmartRunner Detector Product Specifications Parameterization and Operating Modes The laser-line triangulation sensor can be configured or parameterized via 3 different methods. Reading in code cards via the sensor camera Processing configuration telegrams via the bus interface Using the Vision Configurator software The sensor has different operating modes, which can be activated for configuration, presentation, or normal operation.

  • Page 11: Laser Class 1

    SmartRunner Detector Product Specifications Laser Class 1 This sensor is certified according to laser protection class 1. Warning! Class 1 laser light The laser light can be an irritant, especially in a dark environment. Do not point lasers at people! Maintenance and repairs must be carried out by authorized service personnel only! Install the device so that the warning is clearly visible and readable.
  • Page 12 SmartRunner Detector Product Specifications Note! The function buttons are only activated during a parameterizable time span after the sensor is switched on, following which they are locked. The default value for this time span is 5 minutes. The function buttons have different functions depending on the selected operating state.

    SmartRunner Detector Commissioning Commissioning Configuration Mode To adjust the sensor, it must be in configuration mode. The command to put the sensor in this mode is 0xA8 0x57. After successfully changing mode, the sensor responds with an Acknowledge (0x81 0xAC 0x00 0x2D). After an error when converting the configuration, the sensor responds with a No Acknowledge (0x81 0x53 0xXX 0xYY, where XX = error code and YY = checksum).
