4 Function
The distance measuring device DME5000 is a compact optical distance sensor. The DME
is installed so that the emitted laser beam hits the reflector. The reflector or device move
along the laser beam.
The DME receives the light reflected by the reflector and determines the distance between
sensor and reflector by time of flight measurement.
The measured distance is submitted to a control or position control loop via a SSI-, RS-
422-, DeviceNet-, Hiperface- or PROFIBUS-interface, depending on device model.
With its quick calculation of measurement values, the DME5000 is suitable for direct
operation in a closed-loop position control via the SSI interface, e.g. with a frequency
converter.
