When detecting very dark objects at fast speeds or in a harsh environment, it can be helpful to increase the laser output, which then means that the sensor is laser class 2. For security rea- sons, licensing is required for this. 7 ‒ Function Description | P3PC301 ‒ Laser Distance Sensor Triangulation...

Teach-in key, press and hold this key for 10 seconds until both LEDs begin to flash. Then release the button. The LEDs flash twice briefly as confirmation. The sensors are now referenced. 7 ‒ Function Description | P3PC301 ‒ Laser Distance Sensor Triangulation...
The sensor provides various status messages. Due to the process data structure, four status messages can be transmitted as individual process data. These parameters can be used to set the status messages that are transmitted via the process data. 7 ‒ Function Description | P3PC301 ‒ Laser Distance Sensor Triangulation...
If a measured value is specified, the sensor behaves as if the specified measured value corresponds to the actual measured value. This means that the behavior of the outputs and status messages is simulated according to the specified measured value. 7 ‒ Function Description | P3PC301 ‒ Laser Distance Sensor Triangulation...

The process data transmit cyclical data and condition moni- toring. To this end, the sensor is connected to a suitable IO-Link master (see product detail page/complementary products). The interface protocol and the IODD can be found at www.wenglor.com in the download area for the respective product. Parameters The parameters that can be configured via IO-Link are given in the functional description in the section Function description [} 21].
