Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Web Interface • 318
Ethernet Output
A sensor uses TCP messages (Gocator protocol) to receive commands from client computers, and to
send video, laser profile, intensity, and measurement results to client computers. The sensor can also
receive commands from and send measurement results to a PLC using ASCII, Modbus TCP, or
EtherNet/IP protocol. See Protocols on page 445 for the specification of these protocols.
The specific protocols used with Ethernet output are selected and configured within the panel.
To receive commands and send results using Gocator Protocol messages:
1. Go to the Output page.
2. Click on the Ethernet category in the Output panel.
3. Select Gocator as the protocol in the Protocol drop-down.
4. Check the video, profile, intensity, or measurement items to send.
5. (Optional) Uncheck the Auto Disconnect setting.
By default, this setting is checked, and the timeout is set to 10 seconds.
Measurements shown here correspond to measurements that have been added using the
Measure page (see Measure Page Overview on page 180).
All of the tasks that can be accomplished with the Gocator's web interface (creating jobs, performing
alignment, sending data and health information, and software triggering, etc.) can be accomplished
programmatically by sending Gocator protocol control commands.
