Digital Interfaces
optoNCDT 2300
8. Digital Interfaces
8.1 Preliminary Remarks
The optoNCDT 2300 sensor has two digital interfaces, which can alternatively be used to data output but parallel to the parameteriza-
tion.
- Ethernet provides a quick non-real-time capable data transmission (packet-based data transfer). Measurement values and video
data can be transmitted. The configuration of the sensor can be done via the web interface or by ASCII commands. Furthermore,
the program ICONNECT from Micro-Epsilon is also suitable for communication with the optoNCDT 2300 via Ethernet.
- RS422: A real-time capable interface with a lower data rate is provided through the RS422 interface. No video data can be transmit-
ted via this interface; the output is limited to a maximum of two output values in binary format. The configuration is done via the web
interface or through ASCII commands.
- EtherCAT: The sensor features a real-time interface.
Recommendation:
- Ethernet: For a measurement value acquisition without direct process control, for a subsequent analysis. The configuration is done
via the web interface or through ASCII commands.
- EtherCAT: Process control. The measurement value output in done in real time and is bus-compatible.
- RS422: Process control. The measurement value output is done in real time.
8.2 Ethernet
8.2.1 Default Settings
The following default settings (factory setting) can be used for an initial connection to the sensor.
The sensor is set to static IP address ex factory.
You need a web browser (for example Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer) on a PC with network connection.
Decide whether you connect the optoNCDT 2300 to a network or directly to a PC.
In the sensor, dynamic web pages are generated that contain the current settings of the sensor. The operation is only possible as long
as an Ethernet connection to the sensor exists.
