  • Page 6: Proper Use

    INTRODUCTION Proper use The DSE-45 is used for non-contact measurement of the lateral offset of a material web being guided in a customer system. The sensor is suitable for - Web edge guiding, - Web center guiding, and - Web width or edge position measurement. The sensor can be used to control or measure both opaque and transparent materials.
  • Page 7 Both analog and digital output signals are provided. The DSE-45 Ultrasonic Sensor can be used in conjunction with the Fife Controllers/Processors as a guiding system. If the sensor is connected to a D-MAX Operator Interface via an Ethernet connection, multiple menus are available for configuring the sensor.

    Ethernet digital interface for advanced functions. The DSE-45 Ultrasonic Sensor can be used in conjunction with the Fife Controllers/Processors as a guiding system. If the sensor is connected to a D-MAX Operator Interface via an Ethernet connection, multiple menus are available for configuring the sensor.
  • Page 19: Analog Outputs

    OPERATION OVERVIEW Analog outputs There are four configurable analog outputs, controlled by three configurable signal sources. The analog outputs can be independently configured to produce any combination of the following signal ranges. The analog output mapping can be configured for each of the sensor jobs. An Ethernet connection to the sensor is required for configuration changes.
  • Page 20: Digital Outputs

    OPERATION OVERVIEW Digital outputs The digital outputs are transmitted via a proprietary Fife MAXNET Serial Protocol over Ethernet, which requires an optional Ethernet cable connected to a network device. For more information about the available signals; DSE-45 Web Page, page 6.6.
  • Page 21: Operation Modes

    OPERATION OVERVIEW Operation modes The DSE-45 can be operated in either of two modes. Single proportional band mode To monitor the position or width of more than one web, use Multiple page 8.3 Proportional Band mode; The default Single Proportional Band operation mode of the DSE-45 used for guiding and web width monitoring of a single web.
  • Page 22: Multiple Proportional Band Mode

    Figure 5 illustrates the general nature of this mode of operation. Configuration of this mode requires an Ethernet connection to a network device, such as a PC or a Fife D-MAX Operator Interface. This mode enables additional menu-controlled features, including Proportional Band Size, Learn Edges, and Virtual page 8.4.
  • Page 23 OPERATION OVERVIEW Features available in Multiple Proportional Band mode Learn Edges provides a method to automatically build virtual sensor(s) based on the position of webs that are placed in the sensor field of view. The number of virtual sensors built depends on the number of web edges detected.
  • Page 24: Modbus/Tcp Interface

    MODBUS/TCP INTERFACE Modbus/TCP interface The DSE-45 provides Modbus/TCP slave capability. An optional Ethernet cable is required for communication between the sensor and a network device. The default settings - permit the collection of lateral position information for up to eight webs (sixteen edges), and - support remote control commands for virtual sensor operations such as learning edge positions and shifting virtual sensors individually or in groups.

    MODBUS/TCP INTERFACE Remote control Issuing commands via Modbus/TCP can control various aspects of the sensor operation. Commands are issued by writing a recognized command and its associated parameters in the respective data words designated for remote commands. The DSE-45 will act once on the initial receipt of a new command and issue feedback in the designated outgoing data words.
  • Page 28 MODBUS/TCP INTERFACE Even though the DSE-45 acts only once on the initial receipt of a new command, after the command has completed it is recommended that the command and all parameters be cleared. The command word contains fields that are needed by some commands and ignored by others.

  • Page 35: Web Page Access

    DSE-45 WEB PAGE Web page access The DSE-45 contains an integrated HTTP server that provides web page access to the sensor configuration parameters. This requires an optional Ethernet cable connected to a network device, such as a PC, that contains a web browser. To communicate with the DSE-45, the PC and the web browser must be configured to match the DSE-45 network settings.

    DSE-45 WEB PAGE Analog output parameter descriptions Signal source The source of the signal that controls the analog outputs via the analog channels. (The source can be configured for each of the three analog channels, and for each Job, independently). Analog Channels 1 and 2, by default, provide edge position (the first on- web edge detected and the first off-web edge detected, respectively).
  • Page 41: Calibration

    Calibration contains a means to calibrate the sensor to the material being guided. (This calibration is independent from Sensor Calibration in the Fife Controller/Processor). The DSE-45 is factory-calibrated to an acoustically opaque material. Generally, it is not necessary to recalibrate the sensor. If the material to be guided is not acoustically opaque, it may be possible to improve the performance of the sensor by performing this calibration.
