optoNCDT 2300
6. Operation
6.1 Getting Ready for Operation
Install and assemble the optoNCDT 2300 in accordance with the instructions set out, see Chap. 5.
Connect the sensor with the indicator or monitoring unit and the power supply.
The laser diode in the sensor can only be activated if at the input „Laser on/off“ Pin 1 is connected to 3 and Pin 2 to 4, see Chap.
5.6.3.
Once the operating voltage has been switched on the sensor runs through an initialization sequence. This is indicated by the momen-
tary activation of all the LEDs. Once initialization has been completed, the sensor transmits a „->“ via the serial interface. The initializa-
tion takes up to 10 seconds. Within this period, the sensor neither executes nor replies to commands.
To be able to produce reproducible measurements the sensor typically requires a start-up time of 20 minutes.If the “state“ LED is not
on, this means that
- either there is no operating voltage or
- the laser has been switched off.
6.2 Operation via Ethernet
In the sensor, dynamic Web pages are created that contain the current settings of the sensor and the periphery. The operation is only
possible as long as an Ethernet connection to the sensor exists.
6.2.1 Preconditions
You need a web browser (for example Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer) on a PC with a network connection. To support a basic first
commissioning of the sensor, the sensor is set to a direct connection.
The parallel operation using a web browser and ASCII commands is possible; the last setting applies. Remember to save the settings.
