7.5 Measuredvaluelter
Filter settings The following lter settings can be selected for the UM18-2 Pro ultrasonic
sensors using "Connect+ Adapter":
Filter F00 provides an unltered output for the measured values.
This mode is not permitted, as undesired EMC faults could result.
Decreasing distance values are checked by lters F01 and F02 only for
plausibility and then output without any further conditions. After checking
for plausibility, increasing distance values are tracked only if they do not
exceed a specied tolerance range for the rate of increase. If the deviations
are too great, they are classied as interference variables by the software
and bridged for an adjustable holding time according to lter strength P.
Filter F01 provides interference protection against individual pulses such
as EMC spikes in connection with protection against measured value jumps
that are away from the sensor. The lter is suitable for bridging signal
jumps.
Filter F02 provides interference protection against individual pulses
such as EMC spikes in connection with protection against very brief
measured value jumps away from the sensor. The lter reacts very quickly
to measured values near the sensor and provides a smoothed output of
measured values based on approximately arithmetic averaging. This lter
is therefore especially suitable for smoothing uctuating measured values.
Smoothing according to the lter strength P.
Filter F03 and F04 do not include a plausibility check. Thereby they waive
an interference protection against single interfering impulses and thus
resulting measurement value jumps with direction to smaller (F03) or larger
(F04) distance values. In return they react very quickly to measurement
value changes in the preferred distance level (F03: near sensor; F04: away
from sensor) and provide a smoothed output of measurement values in
this distance level, according to lter strength P.
In the opposite direction an adjustable holding time as well as an averaging
take eect, both operating according to lter strength P.
With lter F03 background reections of unexpected objects are faded out.
With lter F04 foreground reections of unexpected objects (e.g. stirring
tools) are faded out.
