Output settings
General options for analog outputs see "Advanced settings for the outputs", page 84.
7.6 Advanced settings for the outputs
Switching outputs
For switching outputs, you can select the option Invert output.
At the EXPERT user level, you can also enter a minimum pulse width for the output signal
in ms.
Very fast or small objects trigger a short output signal. Under some circumstances,
these may not be detected by slow controls. Via the minimum pulse width, you can set
a pulse width that your control will detect.
Figure 96: Examples of the effect of a configured minimum pulse width
1
Minimum pulse width
2
A pulse that is too short is extended.
3
A long output pulse remains unchanged.
4
Two short output pulses are extended.
5
The break also corresponds to the minimum pulse width (1).
Analog outputs
For analog outputs, select one of the following settings:
•
4 mA … 20 mA
The output current increases with the number of the highest/lowest blocked
beam. If the measured value is invalid, e.g. because no beam is blocked, there will
be 4 mA of current.
•
20 mA … 4 mA
The output current decreases with the number of the highest/lowest blocked
beam. If the measured value is invalid, e.g. because no beam is blocked, there will
be 20 mA of current.
Activating the output (only at the EXPERT user level)
At the EXPERTuser level, you can also configure a setting so that an output only changes
its status when a particular input is activated. This method can be used to switch the
measuring function on or off.
