ULTRASONIC LIGHT GAUGING

MEASUREMENT & INSPECTION

System Configuration

Many options, yet easy to program

The software included with the control module makes it easy to configure the MINI-ARRAY®using your PC-compatible computer*. Simply load the software, access the program and access the Edit PSF Configuration screen, shown below. Each option is easily selectable, using your mouse and the pop-up menu-style selections.

*Running Windows® 95, 98, NT, ME, XP or 2000

PICK-TO-LIGHT SCREENS

TEMPERATURE MEASURING LIGHT

Analysis (Measurement)

Mode Selection Choose the measurement option that best tells you the size and/or position of objects as they relate to the array.

Control Mode Selection

Continuous Mode: The control module constantly polls the array for status.

Gate Mode: The control module polls the array for status when prompted by an input from a Gate sensor. Host Mode: The control module polls the array for status when prompted by a host controller.

Serial Communication

Changes the identification and baud rate of the controller being configured.

Blanking

Allows either 1 or 2 areas of the array to be blind to the activity of the area specified.

RADAR

Scanning Method

Straight scan polls each beam sequentially to determine the target object’s overall size This is the most accurate and precise measurement, but also the most time consuming. Interlaced alternates a straight scan with a slanted beam scan to improve optical resolution in the center one third of the sensing range.

Edge activates only the beams located near the top edge of the object in the light screen to reduce sensing response time. Skip - one to seven beams skipped reduces response time. Minimum object detection size increases proportionally to the number of beams skipped

Analog and Discrete

Output Assignment

Assigns an analysis (measurement) mode to each output.

Alarm/Trigger

Output 2 may instead be programmed to serve as a trigger input for another MINI-ARRAY or ALARM for the self-diagnostic circuitry.

Serial Transmission

Choose ASCII, binary or no serial communication

Invert

Allows output to be normally open (No) or normally closed (Yes)

Scan #: (1-9) Analog outputs are updated with an average value of the data received during the selected number of scans; discrete outputs respond only

if the received data is identical for all of the selected number of consecutive scans.

Set Point and

Hysteresis Selection

Assigns the set point to determine where within the array the output(s) will respond and hysteresis values to smooth output response.
