Displaying Line Brightness

The incident level (line brightness) during measurement can be displayed, and the sensing conditions can be set or changed while viewing whether the intensity is insufficient or saturated.

The line brightness area can also be specified to eliminate the influence of external light or to optimize the incident level to the front and rear surfaces.

For details on how to adjust area, see "Adjusting Areas."

"Sensing Condition Settings (Sensing Window) > Advanced Setting Functions not Available on a Controller > Adjusting Areas"

In the 2-area mode, the 1st area is displayed in green and the 2nd area is displayed in light blue.

The measured value displayed on the sensing settings window is the value measured for the average count of 1 on the surface subject to exposure time control.

(50)

Adjusting Areas

The area used for measurement can be restricted.

The influence of external light can be eliminated by removing the section containing external light from the received light area.

When the measurement object is set to "Glass," measurement may not be performed correctly as measurement will be influenced by reflection from the rear surface. If this happens, set the measurement area of each measurement surface so that they can be correctly measured.

1. Set area 1 so that only the peak of the front surface is enclosed.

2. Set area 2 so that only the peak of the rear surface is enclosed.

 Set the area so that the location to be actually measured falls inside the area.

 The measuring cycle for the 2-area measurement mode is twice as long as the one for Area 1 or 2, which is longer than the other.

(51)

Area Teaching

When using the 2 area mode, the area on the surface to measure (tracking surface) can be automatically set up based on the reference surface in area 1.

Operating Procedure

1. Click the [Area follow setting] button to open the set-up area tracking window.

2. Set up the teaching conditions for area 2. After setting the conditions, press the [Update] button.

3. Place a target to measure and press the [Area teaching] button.

Setting Surface Subject to Exposure Time Control

Surface subject to exposure time control

The adjustable parameter when measuring a transparent object.

You can measure an object with a stable received light amount to any plane.

Operating Procedure

Surface subject to exposure time control

First edge Adjusts exposure time based on the first plane from NEAR.

Second edge Adjusts exposure time based on the second plane from NEAR.

Third edge Adjusts exposure time based on the third plane from NEAR.

Fourth edge Adjusts exposure time based on the fourth plane from NEAR.

Peak Adjusts the exposure time based on a plane with the greatest received light amount in an area.

(53)

Setting the Noise Cut Level

You can cut noise by setting a larger value than the noise level.

Operation Procedure

Settings Description

Noise cut level Enters the noise cut level (0 to 4095).

(54)

Notes

A too higher noise cut level makes a signal you want smaller, causing instability.

Saving Settings to a Controller

The following describes the procedure for saving settings to a controller.

Operation Procedure

1. Select [Save] from the [Function settings] window.

The [Function settings (save)] dialog box appears.

When the [Update] button is clicked in each settings screen, the settings are sent to the controller from the personal computer to update the controller's settings.

If you turn the controller off in this state, the settings will be cleared from memory.

To save settings on a controller, follow the procedure below.

(59)

2. Click the [Save] button and then the [Yes] button in the confirmation dialog box.

(60)

Logging Function and Flow of Setup Flow of Logging Operation

The following shows how data is logged.

1. Sampling start

When the [START] button is clicked in the [Logging Standby] window, logging is started.

When logging is started, data is collected at the preset sampling interval. (At this stage, data is not yet saved to file.)

2. Generation of logging start trigger

When the logging start trigger is turned ON, saving of collected data to file starts.

3. Generation of logging end trigger

When the logging end trigger is turned ON, saving of collected data to file ends.

4. Generation of the logging start/end triggers is monitored until a sampling stop condition is generated.

When multiple start/end triggers are generated, you can set whether to save collected data to different files or overwrite one file with the latest data.

5. Sampling stop

Collection of data stops when a sampling stop condition is generated.

Saving of data is performed from when the logging start trigger turns ON until the logging end trigger turns ON.

The logging end trigger sometimes also satisfies the sampling stop condition at the same time (logging ends simultaneously with end of data saving).

(61)
