SICK MLG-2 ProNet - Minimum Detectable Object with High Measurement Accuracy from the MLG-2

•
High-speed scan is not possible.
•
The minimum detectable object size with cross-beam function is also dependent
on the other performance options, such as the configured response time and
operating reserve. The precise minimum detectable object size is displayed in
SOPAS ET on the MLG-2 (see "Interface", page 95).
3.6.4 Minimum detectable object with high measurement accuracy from the MLG-2
When using the MLG-2, the measurement accuracy can be increased in SOPASET (see
"Performance options", page 135). This means that an object can be detected even if it
only covers half of a beam.

Only if the object also meets the minimum detectable length requirements (see table 8, page 20).
•
When using high measurement accuracy to detect moving objects, the minimum
detectable object length also depends on the speed of the object and the
other performance options, such as the configured response time and operating
reserve. The precise minimum detectable object length is displayed in SOPAS ET
on the MLG-2 (see "Interface", page 95).
•
Sensing ranges larger than the operating range are not possible when using high
measurement accuracy.
•
High measurement accuracy can cause the operating reserve to decrease in the
event of large sensing ranges and imperfect alignment.
