SICK MLG-2 Pro

NOTE
If this option is selected and an object is located in the detection area during the teach-
in process, this will not be identified as an error.
•
Manual blanking
Light beams can be individually selected and blanked using the interface in
SOPAS ET and via IO-Link (see "Representation of the detection area", page 59).
The beams are not taken into account in the measurement, even if they are made
at the time of the teach-in process.
3.4.7 Sensing ranges
Operating range
Light grids are generally available with a 2 m range, 5 m range or 8.5 m sensing range.
This is referred to as the operating range, which includes an operating reserve.
Limiting range
It is also possible to operate the MLG-2 up to its limiting range, which goes beyond the
operating range.
Operating range Limiting range
2 m 2.8 m
5 m 7 m
8.5 m 12 m
Table 11: Limiting range
Operation within the limiting range requires the following conditions:
•
Clean ambient conditions
•
Front screens are cleaned regularly
•
Regular teach-in
The following functions cannot be provided when operating within the limiting range:
•
High level of operating reserves
•
High measurement accuracy
•
Transparent operating mode
•
Dust- and sunlight-resistant operating mode
NOTE
The sensing range of the MLG-2 Pro is reduced in certain operating modes (see "MLG-2
operating modes", page 26).
3.5 Scan time
In the MLG-2, not all light beams are active at the same time, instead one light beam is
activated after the other starting from the bottom.
