Connect the components together and mount the sensors into the clamps. Sensor Cable 2-Port Sensor and controller are connected through an Switch / EtherCAT optical fiber.
Page 7 Setup, Connection Options General Rules Mounting, Mounting Adapter As a matter of principle, avoid: The sensors use an optical measuring principle that - any contamination of the connector, e.g., dust or allows for measurements in the nm range. finger prints Ensure careful handling during installation and - unnecessary mating cycles.

Turn on or off the light source in the menu Settings > No target or target outside the System settings.
Page 13 Initial Operation Presets, Measurement Configuration Common measurement configurations (presets) for various targets are stored on the controller. This allows you to quickly start with your individual measurement task. In a preset the basic features like peak or material selection and calculation functions are already set.
Page 14 Initial Operation Signal Quality Using the Signal quality function, you can influence the measuring rate and the respective averaging. Averaging with the Median function is specified by the preset. The subsequent moving averaging is specified by the Signal quality function. Averaging Description In the signal quality section, you can switch be-...
Page 15 Initial Operation FFT Signal Check Go to the Measurement chart menu. Show FFT signal display with FFT. The signal in the chart window shows the target thick- ness. Left 0 % (small thickness) and right 100 % (large thickness). The corresponding measured value is marked by a vertical line (peak marking).
Page 16 Initial Operation Number of Peaks Define the number of peaks of the FFT signal used for evaluation in thickness measurement. The number of peaks can be selected in the Settings > Data recording > Number of peaks. This function is available for the IMS5200MP system: a maximum of 5 layers can be evaluated. Make sure to count the peaks in the correct manner, see Chap.
Page 17 Initial Operation Example of glass with varnish and gap, measurement peak sorting: First, selected material IMP-TH Peak 1 Peak 4 Glass Peak 3 Peak 5 Peak 6 Peak 2 Range [%] The IMS5200MP controller can also measure the thickness of combined layers of the same material. A material does not necessarily have to be selected for layer 4.
Page 18 Initial Operation Measpeak Sorting The selection of peak/peaks dictates which region in the signal is used for the thickness measurement. Switch to material selection by going to Settings > Data recording. Switch to the chart type FFT. Choose between First peak and Highest peak. IMS5200 IMS5200MP Peak 4...
Page 19 Initial Operation In the case of a target consisting of several transparent layers, the material must be assigned for each layer. The mate- rial selection for a thickness measurement starts with the thinnest layer (layer 1) independent of the physical arrange- ment in the measuring object, see Chap.
Page 20 Initial Operation Material Selection The refractive index needs to be corrected in the controller for an exact thickness measurement. Only air may be pres- ent between the sensor face and the measuring object (Material Infront); other media such as water or alcohol are not permissible.
Page 21 Initial Operation The characteristic of the following material is also required for calculating the thicknesses. Click the icon to change an existing entry. Click the icon to add another material. Click the icon to save another or changed material. Click the icon to cancel the operation without saving. Click the icon to delete the entry.

Page 24 Thickness Measurement, Web Page Display Thickness Measurement, Web Page Display Align the sensor vertically to the target object. Then, move the sensor (or the target) closer, until you more or less reach the working distance for your sensor. Once the object is within the sensor’s measuring range, the Range LED (green or yellow) on the front of the controller will light up.

Errors are displayed as well. Mouseover feature. When moving the mouse over the graph, curve points are highlighted with a circle symbol while the corresponding values are displayed in the text boxes above the graph.
