8 ‒ Function Description | P1PY201 ‒ Laser Distance Sensor ToF 24
8 Function Description
The functions described in the following section can be adjusted via wTeach or IODD per IO-Link, as well
as via the weCon app per Bluetooth, and the basic functions via the Display menu.
8.1 Sensor Functions
Function Possible settings Default
Measuring mode Speed
The sensor is optimized for fast applications.
Precision
The sensor is optimized for high-accuracy applications.
Precision Plus
The sensor is optimized for high-accuracy applications and
even higher sensitivity to low signals.
Note!
The technical data resulting from the various modes are speci-
fied in Mode-Dependent Data [}11].
Precision
Detection mode First Object
The signal reflected by an object that is within the working
range and closest to the sensor is used.
Last Object
The signal reflected by an object that is within the working
range and farthest from the sensor is used.
Highest Intensity
The signal with the highest signal strength is used.
Note!
If an object is hidden by this function, a blind spot directly be-
hind the object results. The sensor cannot detect any objects
within this blind spot. The size of the blind spot depends on
the reflectance of the interfering object.
First object
Distance range A distance range in which signals are to be evaluated can be
defined within the working range. Signals outside the set dis-
tance range are ignored and are not included in the signal
evaluation. This means that ranges for which no usable sig-
nals are expected can be completely hidden.
This function can be used to suppress interfering signals, such
as those produced by a glass disk, for instance. Depending
on the set mode and the resulting working range, the distance
range can be set within it.
Min. distance: working range
Max. distance: working range
Note!
• Objects outside the set distance range are evaluated as
“No signal”.
• If a distance range is set, a blind spot directly behind this
range results. The sensor cannot detect any objects within
the blind spot. The size of the blind spot depends on the
reflectance of the interfering objects in the hidden area.
