WireSense -
edge detection
-
The WireSense edge detection is activated and an edge height between 0.5
and 20 mm is selected.
-
The touch signal is output when the defined edge height is detected. In this
way the position of the edge can be recorded.
-
The WireSense Position signal indicates the height of the edge.
-
The air gap detection can also be calculated based on the height value.
