  • Page 7: Safety

    1 Safety 1.1 Intended Use The LVMC digital light curtain is a sensor for detecting, counting, measuring and classifying arbitrary objects. Use the device only for the purpose stated in this documentation. At any time, the light curtain may only be used within the limits of the prescribed and specified technical data and operating conditions.

  • Page 8: Overview

    The Ethernet interface can be configured statically or dynamically by DHCP. The clock integrated in the LVMC is reset when power is turned off, but date and time can be synchronized by use of a NTP server via the Ethernet network.

  • Page 9: Get Started Right Away - The Quick Start

    3 Get Started Right Away - The Quick Start The aim of this chapter is to help you get started using the LVMC. It shows how you can proceed step by step to capture the first objects as quickly as possible.

  • Page 10: Downloading

    If you have an Ethernet switch with Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, you can power the LVMC directly from this switch. To do this, connect a free PoE port to the Ethernet port of the LVMC via a network cable.

  • Page 11: Establishing A Connection

    In order to connect to the LVMC via Ethernet, you need to know its IP address. The easiest way to do this is to connect to the LVMC via USB as described in the previous chapter 3.5.1.

  • Page 12: Operation

    “Help” via the entry “Show Tool Tips”. If you hover with the mouse over an input or output field and hold briefly, information and explanations of contexts and functioning appear. The entry “Disconnect from LVMC” in menu “Communication” allows you to disconnect from the LVMC at any time.

    “Ethernet Configuration” under “HTTP Server”. Select the setting “Read-Only“. Once you have made the change, type the IP address of the LVMC into the address bar of the web browser. Depending on your browser, you may have to put the abbreviation “http://” in front of the address. The browser should now immediately display the information page of the LVMC in English.

    30us wide stripes into a projected image of the object (the extent is plotted horizontally and the time vertical- ly) and into a projected area of the object (in seconds by meters; s*m). The LVMC can thus create a two- dimensional image of the object.

  • Page 17: Counting Channels

    480us, special versions with up to 30us are available on request. With the minimum required passing time, the oversampling rate of the LVMC is internally determined: A long- er minimum required passing time gives the light curtain more time to acquire measurement data, internally several scans are combined into one measurement value.

  • Page 18: Maximum Permissible Passing Time / Stuck Objects

    The entered minimum required object size directly affects all functions of the LVMC. It may be useful to increase it if you want to permanently fade out interfering objects. If, for exam- ple, a conveyor belt is guided through the light curtain and the conveyor belt is not sufficiently flat, the mov- ing belt may be detected under certain circumstances and may lead to a considerable number of disturbing object detections.

  • Page 19: Object Detection Methods

    4.10 Object Detection Methods The LVMC knows different methods how objects can be detected by the channels and when the detection of an object is reported. Basically, two modes are supported: “single” and “combined”: In “single” mode, each channel operates independently of all others. A channel detects a passing object if the geometry and the passing time match the configuration parameters set for the channel.

    This is to be understood as an advance warning that the light curtain could soon reach the limit at which correct functioning can no longer be guaranteed. The LVMC must then be replaced or sent in for revision, respectively.

    4.15 Configuration of the Inputs and Outputs Depending on the version, the LVMC offers a different number of inputs, outputs and bidirectional in- puts/outputs (I/Os) to which a parameterizable function can be assigned. The following functions are availa- ble: “not assigned”: Configured as unused output that is never set.

    Stored errors with the same run number occurred in the same run. If the LVMC was able to obtain date and time from an NTP server, the date and time are also stored.

  • Page 27: Measurement Inaccuracy And Repeat Accuracy

    A light curtain is specified for a given resolution. This corresponds to the minimum object size that can be detected by the LVMC. The maximum measuring inaccuracy depends mainly on the object size, but also on the dimension of the light curtain.

  • Page 28: Configuration Sets

    LVMC is restarted. The non-volatile set is stored in the non-volatile memory of the LVMC and is kept via power off. When the LVMC is turned on, the non-volatile set is copied to the volatile set and the light cur- tain works with the non-volatile set.

  • Page 29: Visual Status Indication Via Sensor Light

    4.27 Visual Status Indication via Sensor Light The LVMC light curtain can use the visible red light of the sensor to inform the user about the current operat- ing mode. In "running" mode, the sender appears continuously illuminated along its entire length for a human eye.

    (“A2” in the picture below). When establishing a connection with the LVMC, the interface version of the light curtain is read out and checked for conformity with the interface version of the CMT. If they do not match, an error message pops up and the connection is terminated.

  • Page 31: Installing The Software

    Each installed CMT software version can be uninstalled separately. Uninstalling can be done via the Control Panel or directly via the specific entry in the menu. For example, execute entry “Remove LVMC CMT A2 V2.037” in the menu under “All Programs” / “LVMC CMT”.

  • Page 32: Access Levels

    Even at the administrator access level, not all functions are always available. The availability depends on the state of the LVMC. For example, no adjustments can be made to the configuration if the LVMC is in the "run- ning" operating mode. Changes are only possible in the "stopped" state.

    This mode is useful, if no external device is present that can stop and thereafter start the LVMC again, in order to manually restart automatic mode. After the restart, the LVMC is ready to detect and count different objects.
  • Page 49 The minimum area an object must have so that it is counted by the channel. To calculate the area, the LVMC sums up the measured object size (the covered part of the sensing area) over the time the object passes the sensing area. Therefore, the area must be entered in unit time multiplied by length.

    In addition to the four channels configurable on the configuration page, a fifth channel is implemented in the LVMC that is used for data acquisition and for visualization of objects passing the sensing area. This chan- nel uses the “Minimum Required Object Size” value entered on the configuration page as the minimum object size to be detected.

Internally, the LVMC does not directly use these values, but uses them to calculate the ap- plied detection limits. This is necessary to take into account the measurement inaccuracy of the light curtain.

  • Page 62: Section "Last Object

    The “Last Object” section displays information about the last detected object. The displayed values are cleared when the LVMC is restarted (by switching power on or by pressing one of the „Reboot LVMC“ or „Start“ buttons), or when the analysis is reset (by pressing the „Reset Analysis“ button).
