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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 DSE-45 web page tab descriptions Home is displayed when communication is first established with the DSE-45. It contains information about the job that is currently running and provides an animation that reflects the state of the web(s) in the sensor field of view.
DSE-45 WEB PAGE Info contains information about the sensor, such as Serial Number, Network Settings, Firmware and Software versions, Proportional Band size (including the number of transducer pairs that make up the Proportional Band) and other info related to the configuration of the sensor.
Page 38
The MaxNet ID is important only if the sensor is communicating with another Fife network device incorporating the MaxNet protocol, such as a D-MAX Controller or Operator Interface.
DSE-45 WEB PAGE Analog output configuration contains fields that apply to the analog outputs. These fields can be edited: 1. Enter the desired value in the proper field, and then 2. Click the "Apply Changes" button. The changes are effective immediately. There are four configurable analog outputs, controlled by three configurable signal sources.
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).
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.
