Appendix | ASCII Communication with the Sensor
thicknessSENSOR
Setting the scaling of analog output2.
The standard scaling is for distances -MR/2 to MR/2, for thickness measurement 0 to 2
MR (MR = measuring range), for intensity 0 to 100 %.
If the minimum and maximum measured value is '0', standard scaling is used.
The minimum and maximum measured value must be indicated in millimeters (distance/
thickness) or % (intensity).
The available output area of the analog output is then spread between the minimum
and maximum values. The minimum and maximum measured value must be between
-1024.0 and 1024.0 mm with four decimal places.
The minimum and maximum measured value is processed with four decimal places.
A 4.4.33 Send Command to Connected Sensor
TUNNEL1 <Command for Sensor 1>
The command is enclosed in quotation marks and is sent by the thicknessSENSOR with
a <CRLF> to the sensor connected to the Sensor 1 socket. The response of the sensor
is packaged and returned in quotation marks.
If no prompt is received, then the response is waited for up to 15000 ms and then an
error is returned.
If no sensor has been detected in the thicknessSENSOR, an error message is returned
immediately.
Example of a tunnel communication, the echo in the sensor is switched off:
TUNNEL1 „LASERPOW"<CRLF>
Command:
TUNNEL1 „LASERPOW FULL"<CRLF>->
Response:
TUNNEL1 „LASERPOW FULL"<CRLF>
Command:
TUNNEL1 „<CRLF>"<CRLF>->
Response:
TUNNEL1 „GETINFO"<CRLF>
Command:
TUNNEL1 „<CRLF><CRLF>Name:ILD2300<CRLF>Seri-
Response:
al:1020004<CRLF>...
The TUNNEL2 command sends commands to the sensor connected to the Sensor 2
socket.
A 4.4.34 Laser off / Laser on
LASERPOW1 OFF|ON
Line for laser on/off. When the laser is enabled by a jumper between Laser ON and
GND, it can be switched via the LASERPOW1 OFF/ON command.
The LASERPOW2 command works in the same way and is addressed to the sensor con-
nected to the Sensor 2 socket.
