RF602 Series Manual

Product catalog summary
Safety Precautions: Ensure the correct supply voltage and interfaces are used. Power off the sensor when connecting or disconnecting cables. Avoid using sensors near strong light sources and allow a 20-minute warm-up for stable results.
CE Compliance: Sensors comply with EU directives on electromagnetic compatibility (2014/30/EU) and RoHS (2011/65/EU).
Laser Safety: Sensors use a semiconductor laser with a maximum output power of 1 mW, classified as laser safety class 2. Avoid directing the laser at humans, disassembling the sensor, or staring into the beam.
General Information: The RF602 series is designed for non-contact measurement tasks, with six models offering measurement ranges from 10 to 500 mm. Options include red or blue lasers, with blue lasers enhancing performance for high-temperature and organic material applications.
Basic Technical Data: Specifications include a base distance range from 20 to 105 mm, a measurement range from 10 to 500 mm, and a maximum measurement frequency of 9400 Hz. Sensors feature digital (RS232/RS485) and analog (4-20 mA or 0-10 V) outputs, with environmental resistance rated at IP67.
Ordering Information: Item designation includes options for laser type, base distance, measurement range, serial interface type, analog output, synchronization input, and cable length.
Specifications: RF602 series sensors feature a 250 mm measurement range, RS232 serial port, 4-20 mA analog output, synchronization input, and AL output. Cable length is 3 meters.
Structure and Operational Principle: Sensors operate on optical triangulation. A semiconductor laser focuses on an object, and the reflected radiation is collected onto a CMOS array. A signal processor calculates the distance based on the light spot's position.
Dimensions and Mounting: Sensor housing is anodized aluminum with a glass window and mounting holes. Proper positioning is crucial to avoid interference with the laser path.
Connection: Wire assignments for different sensor models are provided, detailing power, ground, and signal connections.
Configuration Parameters: Parameters include integration time, sampling mode, sampling period, zero point, and AL operation mode, affecting measurement accuracy, frequency, and synchronization capabilities.
RS232 and RS485 Interfaces: Data exchange is via RIFTEK or Modbus RTU protocols. RS232 allows direct connection, while RS485 supports up to 127 sensors on a common bus.
Data Transmission: Data can be transmitted by single requests or automatic streaming. The communication protocol involves sessions initiated by a master device.
Factory Parameters: Default settings include a 3200 µs integration time, 5 ms sampling period, and specific modes for AL operation and data transfer.
Output Rate Calculation: The output rate (OR) is determined by the baud rate (BR) of the serial interface using the formula OR = 1 / (44/BR + 1*10^-5) Hz. For example, with a BR of 460800 bit/s, the OR is 9.4 kHz.
Request Codes Table: Provides a list of request codes for operations such as device identification, reading and writing parameters, saving to FLASH memory, and data streaming control. Each request code is associated with specific message and answer sizes.
List of Parameters: Parameters are defined with codes and descriptions, including sensor and analog output states, control of averaging and sampling modes, network address, data transfer rate, and sampling period. Each parameter has specific value ranges and default settings.
Notes: Important considerations include the binary form of values, normalization of sensor results, and storage of parameter values in nonvolatile FLASH-memory. Special commands are required to save changes for future power-up states.
Examples of Communication Sessions: Detailed examples illustrate communication sessions for device identification, parameter reading, result inquiry, and writing sampling regimes. Each example includes conditions, request, and answer formats.
Modbus RTU Protocol: Outlines input and holding registers for reading and writing operations, detailing descriptions and values for each register.
ASCII Format: Describes data exchange in ASCII format, including command structures and expected responses. Commands cover device identification, FLASH-memory operations, result requests, and control of various modes.
Analog Outputs: Describes current and voltage output configurations, recommending RC filters to reduce noise. The range of the analog output can be adjusted using the 'Window in the operating range' function.

Laser Triangulation Sensors. RF602 Series Overall demands for mounting The sensor is positioned so that the object under control has to be placed within the working range of the sensor. In addition, no foreign objects should be allowed to stay on the path of the incident and reflected laser radiation. Where the objects to be controlled have intricate shapes and textures, the incidence of mirror component of the reflected radiation to the receiving window should be minimized. Connection Assignment of the cable wires is shown in the table below: Model of the sensor 232-U/I-IN-AL Pin number free...

Laser Triangulation Sensors. RF602 Series Note 2. If the bit-serial interface is used to receive the result, the time required to transfer data at the selected data transmission rate should be taken into account when setting small intervals of the sampling period. If the transmission time exceeds the sampling period, then this time will determine the data transmission rate. The calculation of time required to transmit the result is given in par. 11.7.4. Note 3. It should be taken into account that the sensors differ in some variation of the parameters of the internal generator, which affects...

Laser Triangulation Sensors. RF602 Series 'Answer' is the data burst that can be transmitted by ‘slave’ in the course of the session. All messages with a message burst contain 1 in the most significant digit. Data in a message are transferred in tetrads. When byte is transmitted, lower tetrad goes first, and then follows higher tetrad. When multi-byte values are transferred, the transmission begins with lower byte.
