SICK MLG-2 Pro

The measuring functions that have been set are shown graphically in the Simulation
area and can be edited here using the mouse.

The results of the measuring functions are shown on the status display for the outputs
(see "Basic functions and status of the output", page 58).
NOTE
The configuration of the switching outputs is linked to the function programming option
(only visible in the EXPERT user level). Settings made when configuring the outputs are
also shown in the function programming option. If very complex configurations are cre‐
ated for an output in the function programming option, these can no longer be changed
in the configuration of the switching outputs.
7.4.1 Height classification
A switching output switches when the measured object corresponds to the configured
or defined height.
Automatic configuration
SOPAS ET can teach in the maximum object height automatically.
The output becomes active when an object is larger than the defined object. The device
checks, therefore, whether an object exceeds a certain height.

The measurement is taken from the top or bottom automatically, depending on the
alignment of the object.
The algorithm first checks whether the first or last beam is blocked:
– If the first beam is blocked, the height is measured from the bottom
4)
.
– If the last beam is blocked, the height is measured from the top
4)
.
If both the first and last beams are made or blocked, the optical center of gravity is
determined.
– If more beams are blocked on the side of the first beam, the height is meas‐
ured from the bottom.
– If more beams are blocked on the side of the last beam, the height is meas‐
ured from the top.

Applies when light grid is mounted upright with the connection side facing down and beam numbering beginning on the connection side
(factory setting).
