Figure 18: Graphical representation of Alignment aid in SOPAS ET
The Alignment aid shows the percentage signal level of the following beams:
•
First beam not blanked
•
Last beam not blanked
•
Weakest non-blanked beam
The values of Alignment aid are to be interpreted as follows:
< 50%: Insufficient signal strength for stable detection with operating reserve
50% - 85%: Sufficient signal strength for stable detection with operating reserve
> 85%: Optimal signal strength for stable detection with operating reserve
Aligning the SLG-2 light grid with the Alignment aid function:
1. Set upAlignment aid : For optimal function of the Alignment aid, move the light grid up
and down until signal strength 0% is displayed on each side (first / last beam).
2. Align the sender and receiver with respect to each other until a value of at least
50% is reached for each beam shown in the Alignment aid .
3. Perform teach-in.
The Alignment aid is automatically deactivated for the following reasons:
•
Teach-in command
•
Restore factory settings
•
IO-Link DataStorage download
•
Hardware error
NOTE
When Alignment aid is active, the light grid cannot perform detection, it is not ready for
operation. Process data and detection information are not transmitted. If the Alignment
aid is active, the Invalid process data flag is set.
