Data Output, Interface Selection
The controller supports
- three digital interfaces that can be used in parallel for data output,
ƒ Ethernet: enables fast data transfer, but provides no real-time capabilities
(packet-based data transfer). Both measurement and FFT data can be
transferred. For measurement value detection without direct process con-
trol, for subsequent analysis. Parameterization is provided through the web
interface or ASCII commands.
ƒ RS422: provides an interface capable of real-time output at a lower data
rate.
ƒ Switching/limit value output
- Analog output: outputs either voltage or current values.
Switch to the Settings > Outputs > Output interface menu
and select the desired output channels.

Ethernet

The controller transmits TCP/IP or UDP/IP packages with an Ethernet transfer rate of 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s. The
transfer rate is selected automatically depending on the connected network or PC.
When transmitting measurement data to a measurement server, following successful connection (TCP or UDP), the
sensor sends each measurement to the measurement server or to the connected client. No explicit request is neces-
sary for this.
Distance and thickness values are transmitted as 32 bit signed integer value with 10 pm resolution.
