® Correvit R-350, Non-contact Optical Sensor, Type CR350A 6.2 Measurement Display The "Measurement Display" page provides an online graphical display of the current measured values for the purpose of sensor function control. If you should get no or implausible measurement values at any signal output, you may use the measurement display to perform a comparison. -
Page 24: Sensor Configuration
Sensor Settings 6.3 Sensor Configuration On the "Sensor Configuration" page you can set various options for using the sensor. Fig. 8: Screen view of the "Sensor Configuration" page Calibration Settings Displays the values that are calculated during calibra- tion, using the calibration function. The values can also be changed manually. For distance calibration a light barrier is required. Filter Settings Filter activate Default: Not activated. - Page 25 ® Correvit R-350, Non-contact Optical Sensor, Type CR350A Moving Average Activation of a moving average filter which affects all out- put signals. The filter time results from the set number of measurement values multiplied by the sensor measure- ment cycle of 4 ms. Example: 4 ms * 8 = 32 ms. The higher the filter time, the more the signals are smoothed and the higher the signal delay is.

Fig. 10: Screen view of the "CAN Bus" page Baud Rate Rate of transmission of the CAN bus protocol. Must cor- respond to the data acquisition system setting. Data Format Default: Intel You can choose between Intel or Motorola data format. - Page 28 Sensor Settings Send Modes ƒ Continuous Send Mode: Data are continuously sent with the set interval time The sensor internally always works with an interval time of 1 ms. If you increase the send interval, not every mea- surement value will be output via the CAN bus. In this case, we therefore recommend activating a filter with an appropriate average mean value time.
