Thickness Measurement System. RF580 Series

Thickness Measurement System. RF580 Series Safety precautions · · · · Use supply voltage and interfaces indicated in the system specifications. In connection/disconnection of cables, the system power must be switched off. Do not use the system in locations close to powerful light sources. To obtain stable results, wait about 20 minutes after sensor activation to achieve uniform sensor warm-up. · The indication device must be grounded and connected to the grounding bus by a separate branch. The system has been developed for use in industry and meets the requirements of the following Directives:...

Thickness Measurement System. RF580 Series According to Scheme #2, the material thickness is defined as the difference in the distances to two surfaces of the material measured by each of the sensors. The position of the sensors is calibrated relative to each other. 4 Figure 1. Scheme #1 with one sensor (left) and Scheme #2 with two sensors (right) Laser sensors The system can contain Laser triangulation sensors RF603 Series.

Thickness Measurement System. RF580 Series In the Output signals section, the user can: · enable the Ethernet interface and specify the UDP port; · enable relay outputs and specify the pulse duration; · enable the analog output. In the Counter section, the user can enable the counter and specify the pulse step. Note: In this case, the pulse means, for example, the pulses from the encoder that characterize the movement of the object under control. To save the changes, tap Save. In the Parameters tab, the user can set general parameters and filtering. The general parameters are described in the...

Thickness Measurement System. RF580 Series Number of filtration points Description each measurement. Subsequently, the mean value will be output as the median. If the number of filter points is an even number, then the two average measurement values are added up and divided by two. This parameter specifies the number of measurement values to which the filter applies. To save the changes, tap Save. In this tab, the user can select the measurement mode, specify the number of sensors in the system and their network addresses. To select the measurement mode, use the Measurement mode drop-down list....
