8.4 Zero position
The measured distance value is relative to the set zero point position. By default, the zero posi-
tion of the sensor coincides with the sensor front and can be set to any value between 0 and the
maximum measurement distance of the sensor.
The distance value and the switching point positions are calculated relative to the zero position.
The function allows tolerance measurements for quality testing, for example.
Example 1:
n
Physical distance to the object to be measured: 150mm
n
Set zero position: 0mm (default setting)
n
Output measured value: 150mm
Example 2:
n
Physical distance to the object to be measured: 150mm
n
Set zero position: 150mm
n
Output measured value: 50mm
The following options are available to you for parameterizing the zero position:
n
Define the zero position numerically.
n
Teach in the zero position by writing the address 185 to the currently measured distance.
