Brief Description 3.1.1 Measurement Principle The scanCONTROL2800, 2810 sensor operates according to the principle of optical triangulation (light intersection method): • A laser line is projected onto the target surface via a linear optical system. • The diffusely reflected light from the laser line is replicated on a CMOS array by a high quality optical system and evaluated in two dimensions.
Functioning Principle, Technical Data MICRO-EPSILON The laser line triangulation corresponds in principle to the triangulation of a laser point. In addition, during the measurement a row of lines are simultaneously illuminated by the laser line. Apart from the distance information (Z axis), the exact position of each point on the laser line (X axis) is also acquired and output by the system.

Functioning Principle, Technical Data MICRO-EPSILON Connections 3.3.1 Analog Output The two assigned profile signals for height (Z direction) and width (X direction) can be taken from the 4-pole connecting socket. If optional processing has been activated, profile parameters (e.g. hight, width area etc. of a glue bead) are output on the analog output.
Functioning Principle, Technical Data MICRO-EPSILON Operating and Display Elements 3.4.1 Key Switch The key-operated switch interrupts the flow of current to the laser sensor for maintenance purposes. When the switch is in the "Off" position, the associated green LED goes out and the sensor plug can be withdrawn.

Mounting MICRO-EPSILON Attachment and Mounting of the Controller The controller can be mounted using four M4 DIN 84 screws instead of the rubber feet, see dimensional drawings in the annex. To do this, the corner protection caps should be pulled off carefully to the side (e.g. with a screwdriver) and plugged on again after mounting.
Fig. 6.1: View: Solder-pin side, male cable connector IMPORTANT! MICRO-EPSILON recommends the use of the optional availbale PS2010 power supply The minus pole of the unit with snap rail mounting, input 230 VAC (115 VAC), output 24 VDC / 2.5 A.
Tab. 6.3: Pin assignment PC2800-x Fig. 6.2: View: Solder-pin side, male cable connector MICRO-EPSILON recommends the use of the optional availbale C2800-x analog output cable with a length of 3 m. Go to www.odu.de to get the assembly instructions of the MiniSnap/Series L male connector.
Measurement Setup and Putting into Operation MICRO-EPSILON 6.2.3 Measurement Conversion for Analog Distance Values (z values) You obtain the z measurement (in mm from the sensor edge) according to the straight- line equation z (mm) = Ua (V) * Slope + Offset The benchmark figures are selected such that the maximum possible measurement range fits into the voltage range.

Measurement Setup and Putting into Operation MICRO-EPSILON Synchronization and Triggering Using the "Sync in" input, the scanCONTROL measurement system can be triggered remotely from other devices as well as within the system. If the controller has been programmed to "external", the measurement is started with a trigger edge. The controller then carries out a measurement with the preselected exposure time and waits for the next trigger pulse.
Measurement Setup and Putting into Operation MICRO-EPSILON The mode input reacts like the identically named button and switches cyclically between the various user modes. For connection to a Periphery Controller +24 VDC higher level controller shielded two-wire ca- bles must be used, as...
Serial Interfaces MICRO-EPSILON Serial Interfaces The scanCONTROL sensor is equipped with two digital interfaces (RS232 and RS422/ 485) via which communication can take place with the sensor from a normal PC. The interfaces cannot be used simultaneously. The data transfer takes place in plain text using ASCII characters.
Information for Operation MICRO-EPSILON Information for Operation Measuring Rate The maximum point measuring frequency of the overall system is 250 kHz. A profile consists of a number of measuring points. Consequently, the number of measured profiles per second is simply the point measuring frequency divided by the number of measuring points per profile.
Information for Operation MICRO-EPSILON If the target is extrem dark or has a high contrast MICRO-EPSILON recommends a prior test. The various demonstration programs are suited for adjustment and test of the illumination time. Operate with different illumination times and watch on the effect in the charts.

The calibration of the sensor occurs over the complete matrix and is independent of the selected measuring field. Figure 8.6 shows an extract from the sensor inspection log of an scanCONTROL2800- 25 (see also the sample in the annex). The chart is verticaly tilted across from the inspection log to show the correlation with Fig.
Information for Operation MICRO-EPSILON Error Effects 8.4.1 Degree of Reflection on the Target Surface Basically, the sensor evaluates the diffuse portion of the reflections of the point of laser light. Any statement about a minimum degree of reflection is only possible with restriction.
Information for Operation MICRO-EPSILON 8.4.6 Surface Roughness Surface roughness in the order of magnitude of 5 μm and above leads to "surface noise" due to interference of the laser light. In addition, direct reflections of the laser light on very fine grooves (e.g. grinding marks on the surface) can also occur, particularly if they run in the direction of the lines.
Information for Operation MICRO-EPSILON 8.4.8 Multiple Reflections Particularly on metal targets, mirror effects, which result in multiple reflections of the laser line in the receiver's line of sight, occur at corners and grooves, see the figure below. For this effect, the extraneous light suppression (increasing the threshold) and the evaluation over the largest area ("only highest integral intensity") in the controller are...
