Safety Intended Use The DT6530 measuring system is designed for use in industrial and laboratory areas. It is used for - displacement, distance, profile, thickness and surface measurement - for in-process quality control and dimensional testing The system must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see 2.3.
Functional Principle, Technical Data Functional Principle, Technical Data Measuring Principle The principle of capacitive distance measurement with the capaNCDT system is based on the principle of the parallel plate capacitor. For conductive targets, the sensor and the target opposite form the two plate electrodes. If a AC current with a constant ampli- tude flows through the sensor capacitor, the amplitude of the AC voltage at the sensor is proportional to the distance between the capacitor electrodes.
In the case of insulators the dielectric constant and the target thickness also play an important role. Sensors for metal targets Sensor model Measuring range Min. target diameter CS005 0.05 mm 3 mm CS02 0.2 mm 5 mm CS05 0.5 mm...
Functional Principle, Technical Data Sensors for insulating targets The sensors also measure reliable against insulating materials. The linear behavior for this category of targets is achieved by special linearization, see 5.4. The measuring rang- es of the respective sensors depend on the e of the target.

Installation and Assembly Installation and Assembly Precautionary Measures No sharp-edged or heavy objects may get into contact with the sensor cable sheath. Protect the cable In pressurized rooms against pressure loads. Avoid kinks in any case. Check the connections for tight fit. A damaged cable cannot be repaired.
Installation and Assembly Sensor Cable The sensor is connected to the signal conditioning electronics by the sensor cable. The con- nection is made by simple plugging. The connector locks automatically. The tight fit can be checked by pulling the connector housing (cable bushing). The lock can be released and the connector can be opened by pulling the knurled housing sleeve of the cable bushing.

Operation 5.2.3 DO6510 The optional analog output card DO6510 outputs digitally computed measurement signals in analog form. The DO6510 includes 3 analog outputs which can output signals either in the range 0 … 10 V, ±5 V, or in the range 4 … 20 mA. A rotary switch to the side of the slot is used to select the type of output.
Operation 5.2.4 DL6530/6510 Gain, zero and linearity of a measuring channel are adjusted with the “Gain“, “Zero“ and “Lin“ trimmer potentiometers, see Fig. 26. The setting range is approximately 18 turns per potentiometer. The end settings at the left and right stops are recognizable by a slight click.

Operation Trimmer Zero: Turn the trim-pot clockwise to shift the characteristic line to the left. Zero Displacement EMR = End of measuring range The Zero-Poti affects only the analog outputs, not yet the digital measuring values. Target selection Use the slide switch, see Fig.
Operation Calibration with Metal Targets Preconditions: - Specific resistance of the target < 100 Ωcm. - Slide switch on the demodulator in position Cond. (Conductor, see Fig. For metallic targets the demodulator´s linearization function is switched off since a linear characteristic is already available automatically on account of the measuring principle and sensor construction.
Adjustment takes place at defined distances which are prescribed by a reference. A special micrometer calibration device with a non-rotating micrometer spindle (for example MC25 from MICRO-EPSILON) has proved to be particu- larly suitable. Spacer discs are not suitable.

Operation Step 2: Linearity The measured value differences B-A and C-B are calculated from the fixed measuring points A B C and compared with each other. The setting of the linearity potentiometer is now altered until B-A and C-B are identical. If the setting is not valid, you can do the following: Add with the trimmer “Lin“...
Operation Triggering The DT6530 can be operated - by a trigger input, see Fig. 30, or - via a software command, see 6.4.3. In addition the trigger mode must be activated and a data rate, which is greater than the maximum trigger frequency, must be set.

Ethernet Interface Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties. In order to be able to use the Ethernet interface, there must be a demodulator mod- ule in channel 1 as this one determines the cycle for all channels!

Appendix | EtherCAT Documentation EtherCAT Documentation EtherCAT® is, from the Ethernet viewpoint, a single, large Ethernet station that transmits and receives Ethernet telegrams. Such an EtherCAT system consists of an EtherCAT master and up to 65535 EtherCAT slaves. Master and slaves communicate via a standard Ethernet wiring. On-the-fly processing hardware is used in each slave.
Appendix | EtherCAT Documentation - FRMW (Configured address read multiple write, Reading of a physical area with fixed addressing, multiple writing) A 5.1.3 Addressing and FMMUs In order to address a slave in the EtherCAT® system, various methods from the master can be used.

Appendix | Thickness Measurement Thickness Measurement A 6.1 General This chapter describes a thickness measurement with two oppositely mounted sen- sors. The display on controller shows the distance values of the individual sensors. The distance between the two sensors to one another comes as a base into the thickness measurement.
Appendix | Thickness Measurement If no module is on the output channel, the individually set value is overwritten again with 10.000 when the system restarts. If the word length of the data channel is optimally uti- lized and therefore a smaller measuring range is adjusted, this setting must be reset after the restart.
