3.8.2 Evaluation fields
With the aid of the integrated field application, you can configure up to ten evaluation fields.
The size and shape of these ten evaluation fields can be configured almost entirely as
required.
Fig. 20: Examples of different evaluation field shapes
The evaluation fields can be drawn using SOPAS ET to suit the needs of your application.
Evaluation fields can have the following shapes:
• polygon
• rectangular
• reaching the LMS
• at a distance from the LMS
• dynamic (the length changes with speed measured using the encoder, see
section 3.9.1 “Encoder inputs” on page 34)
You can configure the evaluation fields in SOPAS ET:
PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, EVALUATION FIELDS.
If the area to be monitored changes, then you can re-configure the LMS via software without
additional mounting effort.
3.8.3 Operator for the evaluation cases on the output
If several evaluation cases act on an output, you must define how the results of the
evaluation cases are linked. The related results can be linked using an AND or an OR
operator.
PROJECT TREE, LMS…, PARAMETER, NETWORK/INTERFACES/IOS, DIGITAL OUTPUTS.
The outputs are configured as active high in the pre-setting. You can configure the outputs
also as active low.
