SICK MLG-2 Prime

3.5.1 MLG-2 Prime response time and minimum presence time
For the MLG-2 Prime, you can read out the response time and minimum presence time
in t
he dia
gram see figure 46, page 53.
3.5.2 Scan time with cross-beam function
When the cross-beam function is enabled, the light beam from a sender LED is received
b
y t
hree receiver diodes in two scans. This doubles the scan time.

3.6 Beam separation and minimum detectable object
The measurement accuracy achieved by the MLG-2 depends on the beam separation.
3.6.1 Minimum detectable object with parallel-beam function
In order for an object to be detected continuously, it must completely cover at least one
beam. T
his is referred to as the minimum detectable object, or MDO.

NOTE
For mo
ving objects, the minimum detectable object depends on the speed of the
object.
