Visible laser light; LASER CLASS 1� EN/IEC 60825-1 : 2007 and EN/IEC 60825-1 : 2014 Complies with 21 CFR 1040 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No� 50, dated June 2007� Position of the product label Warning sign 3 Functions and features 3.1 General description The sensor projects a laser line onto the object and determines the height profile of the object along the laser line by means of the triangulation principle�...
1: X axis in [mm] 2: Z axis in [mm] 3: transmitter 4: receiver 5: ROI marking Fig� 1 The projected laser line is wider than the operating range� The object to be detected should be positioned in the centre of the laser line� For the factory setting the operating range is limited by two vertical ROI markings projected in green�...
1: X axis in [mm] 2: Z axis in [mm] 3: sensor 4: taught reference profile Fig� 2 3.1.2 Normal operation In normal operation, the sensor detects height profiles, continually or upon triggering, and compares them to the taught reference profile in order to generate a matching value�...
3.2 Interpretation of the matching value The measured height profile (in the following also referred to as "profile") is compared internally to a taught reference profile� The degree of match is generated as an internal measured value (matching value)� The measured value determined by the sensor hence describes the degree of match between the measured profile and the taught reference profile�...
1: sensor 2: measurement uncertainty 3: object profile 4: operating range 5: accuracy in Z direction (Gz) 6: accuracy in X direction (Gx) Fig� 3 This means that Gz/Gx also defines the: • minimum object height to be detected reliably •...
During the measurement, the workpiece has to be still� • For static situations, the continuous measurement mode has to be set� The sensor permanently monitors the workpiece and signals deviations from the taught reference profile (→ 10.1)� • For dynamic situations, the triggered measurement mode has to be set� A higher-level process control unit decides when the detection takes place and ensures that the workpiece is in the detection zone and that it does not move (→...
4.1.2 Operation with IO-Link master If the sensor is connected to an IO-Link master, parametter setting, triggering and data recording can be done completely via IO-Link� The cyclic process data include the matching value and the switching information (good part / bad part)� Additional functions are available via IO-Link: - detection of the number of trigger processes - device identification...
5 Installation 5.1 Installation conditions ► Install the unit so that the object to be detected is within the sensor's detection zone� ► For direct installation, fix the unit using two M4 screws� Further accessories → www.ifm.com → Data sheet → Accessories. 5.2 Installation instructions 5.2.1 Lateral inclination 1: dead zone due to...
5.2.2 Front inclination 1: transmitter 2: receiver 3: interrupted laser line Fig� 5 If the sensor is inclined forwards or backwards, make sure that the laser line reflected by the object can be detected by the receiver → Fig. 5.It can be ensured that the receiver detects the laser line by reducing the inclination angle or rotating the sensor by 180°�...
5.2.4 Avoidance of multiple reflections 1: sensor 2: object 3: multiple reflections Fig� 6 ► Slightly change the sensor position – e�g� incline the sensor laterally or frontally, increase or decrease the distance to the object� 5.2.5 Avoidance of soiling and ambient light Preferably align photoelectric sensors with the front lens facing downwards or parallel to the earth's surface�...
The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician� ► The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment must be adhered to� ► Ensure voltage supply to EN 50178, SELV, PELV� OPD100: cULus, supply class 2 ► Disconnect power�...
Complementary outputs transmit the same sensor information with oppositional logic levels� This means that both an NC and NO switching output are available at the same time� OUT1 can e�g� be used for the detection of good parts, OUT2 for the detection of bad parts�...

10.2 Triggered mode In this mode, the sensor starts the measurement after receiving an external trigger signal� The sensor compares a single profile to the taught reference profile taking into account the switching threshold� The external trigger signal must be provided by the higher-level process control unit (e�g�...
This operating mode is particularly recommended for dynamic applications� The higher-level process unit only starts the measurement if the object to be detected does not move� The switching output corresponds to the object's status� The [Trigger delay] delays the start of the measurement (referred to the external trigger signal)�...
