7.2 Measuring functions
7.2.1 Applications for switching outputs
Object detection
The selected output switches when an object is present in the detection area.
Figure 39: Example of object detection
Contamina
tion warning
The selected output switches when there is a certain level of contamination.
Height classification
When selecting the application, there must be a reference object in the detection area.
The MLG-2 defines the maximum object height based on the height of the reference
object.
Figure 40: Example of height classification
The se
lected output switches when an object is larger than the defined object.
The MLG-2 automatically defines the measurement direction and the required beam
function.
•
If the first beam is blocked, the MLG-2 defines the measurement direction from
the bottom.
3)
•
If the last beam is blocked, the MLG-2 defines the measurement direction from
the top.
If both the first and last beams are made, the MLG-2 determines the optical center of
gravity:
•
More beams blocked on the side of the first beam = measurement from the bot‐
tom up
•
More beams blocked on the side of the last beam = measurement from the top
down
3)
