Mounting and Connection
|
Mount the Sensor Head
Before mounting, please check the following precautions:
-
The shape of the target object may produce blind spots in the measurement range. Please evaluate the effect of blind spots on scanning before mounting the sensor head. The laser light of this product is emitted almost in parallel, and therefore blind spots are rarely present.
-
Make sure that the laser light reflected by the target object is not blocked and can reach the receiver unit.
-
Stray light is produced if the laser light is reflected by surrounding objects such as walls. Please evaluate the effect of stray light on scanning before mounting the sensor head.
-
To ensure that the heat from the sensor head is well dissipated, please mount it onto a metal bracket, and make sure that the area of the bracket’s surface in contact with air is at least 3 times that of the sensor head’s side surface.
For more details on heat-dissipation measures, refer to Heat-Dissipation Measures for Laser Profiler.
Mount the Controller
Before mounting, please check the following precautions:
-
Leave at least 50 mm of space above the controller and on both sides. Leave at least 90 mm of space in front of the side where the ports and connectors are located.
-
For controllers mounted side by side, leave at least 50 mm of space between and above controllers.
As shown below, place four M5 × 8 bolts in the holes, and then use an open-end wrench to tighten the nuts.
Connect Sensor Head and Controller
Connect the right-angle connector of the sensor-head-to-controller cable to the controller port on the sensor head and the straight connector to the sensor head port on the controller.
-
When inserting the connectors, align the bump in the connector with the notch in the port.
-
Tighten the nut. The recommended tightening torque is 0.7 N·m. A gap of about 2 mm remains after the nut is fully tightened.
|
Please fasten the cables properly to avoid damaging the cables or connectors due to strain. |
Connect Controller and IPC
Insert one end of the controller Ethernet cable into the RJ45 Ethernet port on the controller and the other end into the RJ45 Ethernet port on the IPC.
|
Connect Controller and DIN Rail Power Supply
|
Connect Controller DC Power Cable to Controller
-
Use the flat screwdriver to loosen the screws above the power terminals on the controller.
-
Insert the wire with the +V label into the 24V terminal, the wire with the -V label into the 0V terminal, and the wire with the PE label into the PE terminal (
).
-
Use the flat screwdriver to tighten the screws on the terminals. The recommended tightening torque is 0.2 N·m.
Connect Cables to DIN Rail Power Supply
-
Use the flat screwdriver to loosen the screws on the terminals of the DIN rail power supply.
-
Connect the controller DC power cable: Insert the wire with the +V label into one of the +V terminals, the wire with the -V label into one of the -V terminals, and the wire with the PE label into the ground terminal (
). -
Connect the AC power cable: Insert the live wire into the L input terminal on the DIN rail power supply, the neutral wire into the N input terminal, and the ground wire into the ground terminal (
). -
Use the flat screwdriver to tighten the screws on the terminals.
|
Connect Wires to Signal Terminals
-
Select the terminal into which the wire should be inserted and use the flat screwdriver to press down the button above/below it.
-
Insert the wire into the terminal, and then remove the flat screwdriver.
-
The stripped part of the wire should be about 0.7 cm. If the stripped part is too short, the wiring might fail.
-
If the strands of the wire are loose, please twist the strands together and then insert the wire into the terminal.
-
-
Gently pull the wire. The wire should not be pulled out if inserted properly. If the wire is pulled out, insert it again.
Do not pull the wire too strongly. Doing so may pull out the wire forcibly and damage the stripped part.
If you need to pull out the wire, press down the button above/below the terminal with the flat screwdriver, and then pull out the wire.
