Basic Technical Data: Measurement ranges vary from ±1x5 mm to ±10x100 mm with accuracy from ±0.3 µm to ±5 µm. The devices support RS232, RS485, and Ethernet interfaces, with a power supply of 24V and power consumption between 1.5 to 2W. Environmental resistance includes IP64 enclosure rating, vibration resistance, and operational temperature range of -10 to +60°C.
Ordering Information: The item designation includes measurement range, interface type, analog output presence, logical outputs, synchronization input, and other attributes. Example: RF656-25/50-232-I-IN-CC-3.
Modifications: Various models are available with different parameters such as measurement range, interface type, and additional features like analog outputs and logical outputs.
Overview: The document provides a detailed technical description of the RF656 Series Optical Micrometers, focusing on their structure, operating principles, usage options, dimensions, connection interfaces, configuration parameters, and data transfer methods.
1. Structure and Operating Principle: The micrometer operates on the 'shadow' principle, consisting of a transmitter and receiver. A semiconductor laser or LED emits radiation that is collimated by a lens. When an object is placed in the beam, a shadow image is scanned by a CCD photo-detector array, and a processor calculates the object's position or size.
2. Usage Options:
  • One-coordinate systems: Used for measuring edge positions, sizes, gaps, and dimensions of objects.
  • Multi-axis systems: Allows for 2D and 3D measurements, with examples provided for ordering systems with multiple axes.
3. Dimensions and Mounting: Detailed dimensions for various RF656 models are provided, indicating the overall and mounting dimensions necessary for installation.
4. Connection:
  • Without Ethernet: Uses Binder 702-8 connectors with specified pin assignments for power and data transmission.
  • With Ethernet: Includes an additional Binder 712-4 connector for Ethernet interface, with pin assignments for data transmission.
5. Configuration Parameters:
  • Synchronization: Options include asynchronous transmission, synchronous time sampling, and trigger sampling.
  • Sampling Period: Determines the interval for automatic data transmission, adjustable in 0.1 ms increments.
  • Averaging: Can be turned off, or set to average over a number of results or a specific time period to reduce noise.
  • Measurement Modes: Includes various modes for measuring positions, distances, and detecting borders.
6. Interfaces:
  • RS232 and RS485: Describes the connection capabilities, data transfer methods, and configuration parameters for these serial interfaces.
  • Data Transfer Modes: Includes single requests, automatic asynchronous, and synchronous data streams.
7. Analog and Logical Outputs:
  • Data Transfer Modes: Similar to digital interfaces, with options for no transmission, asynchronous, and synchronous data streams.
  • Current and Voltage Outputs: Connection schemes for 4-20 mA current output and 0-10 V voltage output are provided, with recommendations for noise reduction.

Parameter List: A comprehensive list of parameters is provided, detailing their codes, descriptions, and possible values. Parameters include sensor activation, analog output control, data transfer rates, sampling periods, and more. Special notes highlight the importance of saving parameter changes to FLASH memory to retain them after power cycles.
Factory Parameters and Measurement Modes: Default factory parameters are stored in nonvolatile memory. The document provides examples for setting measurement modes, such as measuring the position of one border, the distance between borders, and the position of an object.
Ethernet Packet Structure: Details on the structure of Ethernet packets used for data transmission are provided, including fields like sensor type, packet length, and measurement data.
Parameterization Program: The RF65Х-SP software is used for testing, setting parameters, and receiving data from the micrometer. Instructions for connecting to the micrometer, setting parameters, and saving them to memory are included.
Working with the Micrometer: Instructions for placing objects within the micrometer's range, obtaining measurement results, and saving data are provided. The document also explains how to reset object dimensions and adjust graph settings.
Data Transfer Methods: Examples of data transfer by request and synchronous data transfer are given. The document explains how to configure the micrometer for automatic result streaming and logical output settings.
Specifications:
The RF656 Series Optical Micrometers include parameters such as the LOut Down Limit and LOut Up Limit, which set the lower and upper trigger limits respectively.
Software Development Kit (SDK):
The micrometers come with an SDK that allows users to develop custom software without needing to understand the micrometer communications protocol. The SDK can be downloaded from the provided link.
Warranty Policy:
The RF656 Series Optical Micrometers have a warranty assurance of 24 months from the date of operation and a warranty shelf-life of 12 months.
