Measurement parameters
Scanning frequency Information in 1/100 Hz uint_32 4 1500 15 Hz
Measurement
frequency
Frequency between two sepa-
rate measurements in 100 Hz
Spot to spot frequency.
At a scan frequency of 15 Hz
and angular resolution of 1°
(TiM55x), the spot-to-spot fre-
quency can be calculated as
follows:
15 Hz * 360° = 5.4 kHz
At a scan frequency of 15 Hz
and angular resolution of
0.3° (TiM56x/TiM57x), the
spot-to-spot frequency can be
calculated as follows:
15 Hz * 3 *360° = 16.2 kHz
uint_32 4 00000000h ... FFFFFFFFh
5.4 kHz (TiM55x) / 16.2 kHz (TiM56x/
TiM57x)
Number of encoders Defines the number of encod-
ers from which data are out-
put
uint_16 2 0 No encoder data
(can not be changed)
Encoder
Encoder position Information in ticks uint_32 4 00000000h ... FFFFFFFFh
Encoder speed Information in mm/s uint_16 2 0000h ... FFFFh
Number of 16 bit channels Defines the number of 16-bit
output channels on which the
TiM5xx outputs measured
data.
If “0 output channels” are
selected, no data is output.
uint_16 2 1 The TiM5xx sends the distance
data as 16 bit value via one
channel
Output channels 1 ... 4 (16 bit)
Measured data con-
tents
The telegram part defines the
contents of the output chan-
nel.
string 5 DIST1 Radial distance for the first echo
Scaling factor Multiplier for the values in the
telegram parts Data_1 to
Data_n
Real 4 00000000h ... FFFFFFFFh
Scaling offset For the TiM5xx always 0 Real 4 00000000h ... FFFFFFFFh
Starting angle Information 1/10,000 degree Int_32 4 –450,000 ... + 2,250,000
Angular step width Information 1/10,000 degree uint_16 2 10,000
Number of data Defines the number mea-
sured values the TiM5xx out-
puts
uint_16 2 91
Data_1 ... Data_n Output of the measured val-
ues 1 to n. The contents and
the unit depend on the tele-
gram part “Measured data
contents”. DIST in mm
uint_16 2 0000h ... FFFFh
Number of 8 bit channels Defines the number of 8-bit
output channels on which the
TiM5xx outputs measured
data.
If “0 output channels” are
selected, no data is output.
uint_16 2 1 The TiM5xx sends the RSSI data
as 8 bit value via one channel
