Width Measurement System. RF590 Series

Width Measurement System. RF590 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: ·...

Width Measurement System. RF590 Series Optical micrometers The micrometer operation is based on the so-called ‘shadow’ principle. The micrometer consists of two blocks – transmitter and receiver. Radiation of a LED is collimated by a lens. With an object placed in the collimated beam region, shadow image formed is scanned with a CCD photo-detector array. A processor calculates the position of the object (sheet material) from the position of the shadow border (borders). The system can contain optical micrometers of RF651 series or of RF656 series: https://riftek.com/eng/products/~show/sensors/optical-micrometers...

Width Measurement System. RF590 Series Indication device The indication device is intended to receive information from micrometers, analyze and display the measurement results. Micrometers must be connected via the special connectors mounted on the housing of the indication device. The LCD display with the touch screen shows information. When the width value exceeds the tolerances, the operator will be notified by an audible alarm. The width value output is based on the analysis of values received from the micrometer (micrometers) and calculated for the given averaging time, and is repeated with...

Width Measurement System. RF590 Series To change the password, tap Password. Then enter a new password, confirm it, and tap Save. The program will prompt you to confirm the action: Select "Yes" to save a new password, or select "No" to cancel the action.

Width Measurement System. RF590 Series Input settings In the Interface settings area, the user can specify the COM port number and the baud rate. In the Sensors settings area, the user can select the sensor type (60x or 65x), enable the sensors (ON / OFF buttons), and specify their network addresses. In the Counter settings area, 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. Output settings

Width Measurement System. RF590 Series In the Output settings tab, the user can: · enable the Ethernet interface; · specify the UDP port; · enable the relay output; · enable an audible alarm ("Sound"); · specify the audible alarm duration ("Pulse duration"). To save the changes, tap Save. Filter / Averaging Filtering is intended to lower the noise of the measurement signal which results in a better resolution. The description of parameters is given in the table below. Parameter Description Filter type No filtering Without filtering. Moving Average The selectable number of filtration points for...

Width Measurement System. RF590 Series Measurement Tap the Measurement button in the main window. On the screen: This window displays: · name of the selected set of parameters (to the right of the window name); · current width value (big green (or red) digits); · values from the micrometers (Value D1 and Value D2); · nominal width value (Nominal); · tolerances (Tolerance '-' and Tolerance '+'). Tick the Save data box, if you want to save the measurement data to the database. To start the measurement process, tap the Start button. On the screen: If needed, you can tap the Stop button to stop the...

Width Measurement System. RF590 Series The width of the object is controlled within the working range of the micrometer (micrometers). For the measurement according to Scheme #1 (one micrometer), the calibration is not required. For Scheme #2 (two micrometers), it is necessary to perform the calibration procedure using the object of the known width. Follow the steps below to perform the calibration procedure properly: · Install the sample of the known thickness in the control area. · Go to the Settings window. Tap Parameters, select a set of parameters, and make sure that the value in the Reference...
