User manual OMRON ZS-HL

[. . . ] Z236-E1-02A ZS-HL Series Smart Sensor 2D CMOS Laser Type USER'S MANUAL Introduction This manual provides information regarding functions, performance and operating methods that are required for using the ZS-HL Series. When using the ZS-HL Smart Sensor, be sure to observe the following: · The ZS-HL Smart Sensor must be operated by personnel knowledgeable in electrical engineering. · To ensure correct use, please read this manual thoroughly to deepen your understanding of the product. · Please keep this manual in a safe place so that it can be referred to whenever necessary. How to Switch the Display Language to English Turn the power ON with the MENU key held down. [. . . ] The delay time (the delay between timing input and the start of sampling) and the sampling period can be set. Delay time ON OFF Sampling period Delay time Timing input Ignored Accepted FUN mode-[OUTPUT]-[HOLD]-[DELAY] Setting OFF ON Description The delay time is not set. When ON is selected, the following items are subsequently displayed: · T-DELAY Sets the delay time. Range: 1 to 9000 (ms) Set so that the "delay time + sampling period" is less than the timing input ON interval. If the next timing input for measurement is received before the "delay time + sampling period" has elapsed, that timing input will be ignored and will not be reflected in the sampling. Section5 SETTINGS FOR FUNCTIONS User's Manual ZS-HL 5-21 Section5 Setting Output Processing of Sensing Information Setting the Zero Reset Function TYPE Set how zero reset is to be executed. FUN Mode-[OUTPUT]-[0RESET]-[TYPE] Setting REAL Description Sets the measured value when a zero reset is executed to zero. (default value) Measurement of height from reference surface Zero reset HOLD Reference A Sets the measured value (hold value) when a zero reset is executed to zero. This setting is enabled when hold measurement is performed. Section5 SETTINGS FOR FUNCTIONS Hold A (reference) Measurement of height from reference surface Zero reset Direction of movement OFFSET Set an offset to set the reference value for zero reset to a value other than 0. FUN mode-[OUTPUT]-[0RESET]-[OFFSET] Setting OFFSET Description Sets the reference value. Range: -999. 999 to 999. 999 (default value: 0) STATUS Set valid/invalid for the zero reset function. FUN mode-[OUTPUT]-[0RESET]-[STATUS] Setting ON OFF Description When a zero reset input is received externally, a zero reset is executed. (Default Value) Even when a zero reset input is received externally, a zero reset is not executed. In Multi-Task mode, set ON/OFF for each TASK. 5-22 ZS-HL User's Manual Section5 Setting Output Processing of Sensing Information 0RESET MEMORY You can select whether or not to hold the measured value zero reset level even if the power is turned OFF. FUN Mode-[SYSTEM]-[0RESET] Setting OFF ON Description Zero reset is canceled when the power is turned OFF. (default value) The zero reset level is saved to memory even if the power is turned OFF. Turn [OFF] zero reset memory if, as in the example below, the zero point is reset for each measurement. Example: When the step of the sensing object is measured Sensor Head This step is measured. Zero reset executed Zero reset executed Zero reset executed Section5 SETTINGS FOR FUNCTIONS Direction of movement · If zero reset memory is [ON], the zero reset level data will be written in the Sensor Controller nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) at each zero reset. Writing the zero reset level for each measurement can, therefore, use up the life of the memory and lead to malfunctions. · Even if zero reset memory is enabled, the zero reset level will be held also when it is saved. Zero reset will continue after startup when these functions have been changed. User's Manual ZS-HL 5-23 Section5 Setting for Measurement of Characteristic Points Setting for Measurement of Characteristic Points You can measure any measurement points within the range of received light by using the line beam characteristics and multi-task function. Set this menu when you measure subtle concavity and convexity in the workpiece or thickness of a transparent object. The setting for measuring the characteristic points are valid only in Multi-Task mode. FUN Mode-[MEASURE]-[Measured value] Setting NONE AVERAGE Does not set measurement points. Measures the average position between the peak and bottom positions of the line beam. [. . . ] If you connect two or more controllers, Warp Engine ZS does not start. Installing SmartMonitor ZS 3. Install SmartMonitor ZS to a personal computer. Warp Engine ZS that is used for updating the firmware will be simultaneously installed. Installing SmartMonitor ZS p. 2-15 Section9 APPENDIX Starting Warp Engine ZS · Start Warp Engine ZS only when the personal computer recognizes the controller normally. · When you start up ZS-MDC on its own, an error occurs in the controller. However, Warp Engine ZS should be started up in this state. 9-16 ZS-HL User's Manual Section9 Updating Firmware 4.
