Data Output, Interface Selection
The controller supports
- three digital interfaces that can be used in parallel for data output,
ƒ Ethernet: enables fast data transfer, but provides no real-time capabilities
(packet-based data transfer). Both measurement and FFT data can be
transferred e. g. for measurement value detection without direct process
control or for subsequent analysis. Parameterization is provided through the
web interface or ASCII commands.
ƒ RS422: provides an interface capable of real-time output at a lower data
rate.
ƒ Switching/limit value output
- Analog output: outputs either voltage or current values.
Switch to the Settings > Outputs > Output interface menu
and select the desired output channels.
Ethernet
The controller transmits TCP/IP or UDP/IP packages with an Ethernet transfer rate of 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s. The
transfer rate is selected automatically depending on the connected network or PC.
When transmitting measurement data to a measurement server, following successful connection (TCP or UDP), the
sensor sends each measurement to the measurement server or to the connected client. No explicit request is neces-
sary for this.
Thickness values are transmitted as 32 bit signed integer value with 1 pm resolution.
