Product catalog summary
Safety Precautions: Ensure the use of specified supply voltage and interfaces. Power off the micrometer during cable connection/disconnection. Avoid using near strong light sources and allow a 20-minute warm-up for stable results.
CE Compliance: The micrometers comply with EU directives on electromagnetic compatibility (2014/30/EU) and RoHS (2011/65/EU).
Laser Safety: The devices use LED and are classified as laser safety class 1. Avoid prolonged exposure to the laser beam and do not disassemble the micrometer.
General Information: Designed for non-contact measurement of diameters, gaps, and positions. The series includes models with measurement ranges from 10 to 100 mm.
Basic Technical Data: Measurement ranges vary by model, with accuracy from ±0.5 to ±5 µm and repeatability from 0.2 to 2 µm. All models have a maximum scanning frequency of 10,000 Hz and an update frequency of 2,000 Hz. They feature digital (RS485 or Ethernet) and analog outputs, with environmental resistance rated at IP64.
Ordering Information: The item designation includes measurement range, serial interface type, analog output presence, logical outputs, synchronization input, and other attributes. Example: RF656XY-25-485-I-IN-CC-3 indicates a 25 mm range with RS485, analog output, and a 3 m cable.
Structure and Operating Principle: The micrometer operates on a principle involving the interruption of a light beam to measure dimensions.
Overview: The document provides a detailed technical description of the RF656XY series optical micrometers, focusing on their components, dimensions, connection interfaces, configuration parameters, measurement modes, and data transfer protocols.
Components and Operation: The micrometer consists of a transmitter and receiver. A semiconductor laser or LED emits radiation, which is collimated by a lens. When an object is placed in the beam, a shadow image is formed and scanned by a CCD photo-detector array. A processor calculates the object's size from the shadow borders.
Dimensions and Mounting: The document includes figures showing the overall and mounting dimensions for different models of the RF656XY series.
Connection Interfaces: The micrometers are equipped with different connectors depending on whether they have an Ethernet interface. Non-Ethernet models use a Binder 702-8 connector, while Ethernet models use an additional Binder 712-4 connector. Pin assignments for these connectors are provided.
Configuration Parameters: The micrometer's operation depends on configuration parameters, which can be adjusted via RS485 serial port commands. Key parameters include synchronization options, sampling period, results averaging, and measurement modes.
Measurement Modes: The micrometer can measure the position of one border, the distance between two borders, the position of an object, and detect multiple borders. It can also measure glass tubes and thin films, with specific modes for each application.
Data Transfer Protocols: The document details the RS232 and RS485 interfaces, including data transfer modes, data transmission rates, and network addressing. The interfacing protocol includes formats for serial data transmission, communication sessions, requests, messages, and answers.
Analog and Logical Outputs: The micrometer supports various data transfer modes, including no transmission, asynchronous, and synchronous streams. It provides current and voltage outputs with recommended connection schemes to reduce noise. Logical outputs signal whether measurements are within specified tolerances.
Request Codes and Parameters: A table of request codes and parameters is provided, detailing device identification, parameter reading and writing, result latching, and data streaming control.
Specifications: The micrometer supports various operational modes, including mutual synchronization, results reset, and laser ON/OFF. It operates in window or full mode and supports time or trigger sampling. Network addresses range from 1 to 127, with a default of 1. Data transfer rates through serial ports are adjustable, with a default setting of 9600 bit/s.
Measurement Parameters: The micrometer can measure the position of one border, the distance between borders, the position of an object, and detect borders within a measurement range. It supports up to 64 borders for UART and 7 for UDP interfaces.
Data Transfer: Data can be transferred via serial ports or CAN interfaces, with adjustable rates. Ethernet packet structures are defined, including sensor type, packet length, and measurement data.
Software and Configuration: The RF65X-SP software facilitates testing, parameter setting, and data reception. Users can connect via COM ports, set transmission rates, and configure network addresses. Parameters can be saved to RAM or FLASH memory, with options to restore factory settings.
Operational Guidelines: Users can measure objects by placing them within the micrometer's range and using the software to initiate measurements. Data can be saved to files, and graphs can be auto-scaled. Logical outputs can be configured with specific trigger limits.
SDK and Warranty: An SDK is available for custom software development. The micrometers come with a 24-month warranty from the date of operation.
Distributors: The document lists distributors in various countries, providing contact information for sales and support.

Optical Micrometers. RF656XY Series Structure and operating principle The micrometer operation is based on the so-called ‘shadow’ principle, Fig.1. The micrometer consists of two blocks – transmitter and receiver. Radiation of a semiconductor laser or LED 1 is collimated by a lens 2. With an object placed in the collimated beam region, shadow image formed is scanned with a CCD photo-detector array 3. A processor 4 calculates the position (size) of the object from the position of shadow border (borders). Overall and mounting dimensions of the RF656XY micrometers are shown in Figures 2-6.

Optical Micrometers. RF656XY Series 12.4. Range of the analog output 16 While working with the analog output, resolution can be increased by using the ‘Window in the operating range’ function which makes it possible to select a window of required size and position in the operating range of the sensor within which the whole range of analog output signal will be scaled. Note. If the beginning of the range of the analog signal is set at a higher value than the end value of the range, this will change the direction of rise of the analog signal. Logical outputs of the micrometer are used to signal...
