The distance measuring device DL100 Pro comprises optics, a sender/
receiver unit and an evaluation unit. The sender emits the laser beam. The

linearly along the laser beam.
The distance measuring device DL100 Pro is equipped with two Ethernet
interfaces. They serve communication via PROFINET IO and diagnosis and
parameterization via SOPAS ET. The two interfaces have equal priorities
and are internally connected to one switch.
The measured distance is transferred via the "PROFINET IO" interface and
may be used, e.g. for the control unit or a position-control circuit.
