Notes on the warning signs

• Before commissioning, the English warning label “LASER RADIATION – DO NOT

STARE INTO BEAM” is to be replaced with a warning label in a language that the operators of the system understand. Laser warning labels in German and French are included in the scope of delivery.

• If the devices are installed in a system/casing so that the warning labels are cov‐ ered, other warning labels (not included with delivery) must be attached to the system/casing next to the laser output aperture.

• When operating with the trigger, the laser diode is switched on by the switch-on signal and switched off again by the deactivation signal. When free output of mea‐ sured values is set, the laser diode is continuously on.

• The device automatically monitors beam generation and automatically shuts down the laser diode in the event of irregularities. If this happens, the red “Status” LED lights up. The device stops sending measured values and an entry is added to the error memory.

Principle of operation

3.5.1

Measuring principle

The device is an opto-electronic LiDAR sensor that uses non-contact laser beams to scan its surroundings. The device measures its surroundings in polar coordinates (dis‐ tance, angle) relative to its measurement origin. The measurement origin is marked by a circular indentation on the top and bottom of the housing.

It is an active system featuring a light laser in the visible range (red). It does not require position marks, reflectors, or object illumination.

When a laser beam strikes an object, the distance and measuring angle are deter‐ mined.

The distance is determined according to the principle of phase shift (continuous wave).

There is a phase difference between the transmitter and receiver beams resulting from the run time of the light and the wavelength used. This phase difference is used to cal‐ culate the distance of the object from the zero point. The measuring angle is the angle at which the laser radiation exits the device.

The device must have a clear view of the object being measured.

Notes on measuring objects

The measuring method used can lead to changes in measured values when measuring edges, borders, or protruding parts. Measurement results can stray out of tolerance on smaller surface areas.

Output of measured values

The device outputs measurement data via an Ethernet interface. It sends measured values to the interface when requested to do so via a telegram.

The following data can be polled individually or in combination:

• Distance values: Distance from zero point in the corrected angular position

• Remission values: Object remission as scale value without unit (digit) or calibrated

greyscale value (%) at the corrected angular position. For details, see "Remission value", page 18

.

Angle correction values: Deviation from implicit angular position. For details, see

"Angle channel", page 18 .

• Quality values: Measured value quality in the corrected angular position

In the event of an error, the output of measured values is terminated immediately and an error code is output which can be evaluated by the connected application. The error code can also be read out with the SOPAS ET PC software.

Ethernet data interface

The device has an Ethernet data interface for configuration and the transmission of measured values.

The Ethernet interface has a data transmission rate of 100/1,000 Mbit/s. The inter‐ face is a TCP/IP interface supporting full duplex and half duplex.

The Ethernet interface allows the configuration of the device as well as the output of measured values.

The factory setting for the Ethernet interface is as follows:

• IP address: 192.168.0.1

• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• TCP port: 2111 (CoLa binary)

• TCP port: 2112 (CoLa ASCII)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3.5.3

3.5.3.1

You might need to adjust the TCP/IP configuration of the Ethernet interface so that a connected PC (client) can communicate with the device via Ethernet.

NOTE

If you change the parameters of the Ethernet interface via the Ethernet interface, you must first save the data permanently to non-volatile memory and then restart the device.

Output of measured values

A fundamental distinction must be made between continuous and triggered output of measured values.

NOTICE

A permanent measurement (with or without output of measured values) reduces the service life of the laser diode and thus the device.

There are 3 possible ways to extend the service life of the laser diode:

1 Disconnect the device from the voltage.

2 Use software trigger options for laser control with the sMN LMCstandby telegram command

(hexadecimal:

734D4E204C4D437374616E646279

). Do not reactivate the laser until immediately before sending the request for measured val‐ ues with the Start Measurement telegram sMN LMCstartmeas

(hexadecimal:

734D4E204C4D4373746172746D656173

, login on device not necessary).

3 Use hardware trigger options for laser control.

Continuous output of measured values

With continuous output of measured values, once the device has received an sEN

LMDscandata 1

telegram (hexadecimal:

73454E204C4D447363616E646174612001

) requesting measured values, measured value telegrams are sent until the output of measured values is terminated by the stop telegram sEN LMDscandata 0

(hexadeci‐ mal:

73454E204C4D447363616E646174612000

). When the output of measured values stops, the motor continues to turn normally, the laser diode remains switched on, and measurement data continues to be generated and processed inside the device. Laser control must be set to “free-running”.

See "Telegram structure", page 52

for a description of the measured value telegrams.

Figure 4: Continuous output of measured values

Start telegram

Stop telegram

Stop output of measured values

Triggered output of measured values

During triggered measurement, the start and end of the measurement are determined by a reading gate.

First, the trigger source is selected via the laser control settings,

"Laser control", page 17

.

After this, measured values are initially requested with the sEN LMDscandata 1

telegram, "Telegram structure", page 52

, in the same way as for the continuous out‐ put of measured values.

Measured values are only output if the laser is switched on (to open the reading gate). If the reading gate is closed, the laser will switch off, thereby terminating the measure‐ ment process and the output of measured values.

Triggering is activated via a CAN command.

Connecting the incremental encoder

If the device is mounted for mobile use or if the objects to be measured are in motion, the application will usually also need position data to further process the measured val‐ ues.

Encoders can be connected for this purpose. The encoder data is then available with the other measured values in a single scan and at the same interface. A volume, for example, can be calculated by evaluating the measurement data and position data

(encoder ticks). The input frequency of the encoder signal must not exceed 50 kHz.

3.5.4

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3

The following incremental encoders with a push-pull output stage (HTL) can be used:

• Single-channel, only connected at encoder A, no direction detection.

• Dual-channel (phase), connected at encoder A and encoder B; the pulses have a phase shift of 90°, making direction detection possible. By definition, during for‐ ward motion (CW = clockwise) phase A precedes phase B; conversely, during reverse motion (CCW = counterclockwise) edge A rises before edge B.

• Dual-channel (level), connected at encoder A and encoder B; the pulses are at encoder A; at encoder B, the direction is indicated by level 0 or level 1 (rarely used).

NOTE

Incremental encoder transmits a zero index signal often (encoder Z). This signal is not processed by the device. So the signal does not need to be connected to the device.

NOTICE

Device damage due to incorrect parameterization!

• When connecting an encoder, configure IN1/OUT1 of the device as an input.

Laser control

Laser control is used to switch the laser on and off. Measurement data is only transmit‐ ted when the laser is switched on. To initiate the transmission of measurement data, the telegram command sEN LMDscandata 1

(hexadecimal:

73454E204C4D447363616E646174612001

) , "Telegram structure", page 52

must be sent once after switching on the device.

Since the motor turns constantly at the scan speed as long as the device is ready for operation, the device is ready to start taking measurements immediately after the laser has been switched on.

Laser control reduces the data load at the Ethernet interface. Switching the laser on and off specifically when required also increases the service life of the laser diode.

The “switch-on delay” and “switch-off delay” parameters can be set to switch the laser on subject to a time delay and/or to leave it switched on longer for a defined period after the trigger signal has dropped out.

Following login (minimum Authorized customer ), it is possible to select between various modes on the Basic settings tab in SOPAS ET or using a corresponding terminal program.

In free-running mode, the laser is permanently switched on and the device detects measurement data permanently (default setting). This mode is intended specifically for test purposes or for aligning a device with the laser line.

The laser is switched off initially in software trigger mode. The laser is activated with the

Start measuring SOPAS command or the sMN LMCstartmeas telegram (hexadecimal:

734D4E204C4D4373746172746D656173

). It is deactivated with the Standby command or the sMN LMCstandby telegram (hexadecimal:

734D4E204C4D437374616E646279

).

This mode is designed for the use of telegrams for triggering measurement data output and for setting up the device with the SOPAS ET parameterization software.

In CAN trigger mode, laser control is based on CAN commands. This is standard prac‐ tice when using the device as part of a system with other SICK sensors.

telegram command (see the Listing Ranging sensors telegram, no. 8014631).

Changes to the device are only taken into account with the sMN Run log-off command; this also switches the laser back on.

Remission value

Remission is the ability of a material to reflect light. The remission value of an object correlates with the ratio of the amount of the laser light emitted by the LiDAR sensor that falls on the object and the amount that is reflected by the object (see Lambert-

Beer law).

Shiny surfaces have different remission values at different angles of incidence. In the case of shiny surfaces, maximum remission is achieved when the beam makes vertical incidence. A multiple of the typcial remission value of a material is reached at such places and may cause invalid measurement values. On such occasions distance values will be flagged with "1" and remission values with "FF FF" in the measurement data out‐

put, see "Telegram structure", page 52 , LMDscandata - reserved values.

Matt and dull surfaces have a diffuse remission and therefore have similar relative remission values independent of the angle of incidence.

Angle channel

The motor of the device rotates with 100 Hz and enables the device to reach a scan‐ ning frequency of 600 Hz by way of deflecting the laser beam on a six-sided mirror wheel.

Assuming that the motor turns at a constant speed, the sensor creates every 1.16 µs a new measurement value in order to reach an angular resolution of 1/12°. However, due to hardware limitations there are minor fluctuations in the motor speed. Due to external influences (e.g. high acceleration or deceleration of the device), these ripples can reach a deviation of several tenths of a degree, which may lead in measurement error of some centimeters for object measurement.

The angle channel allows an adjustment of the measurement values to their true angle position. When activated, an additional correction value is provided in the measure‐ ment telegram for each measurement point.

Every value states the deviation to the implied angle position within a range of

± 3.2768° with an accuracy of approx. ± 0.01°. Since the channel is only able to put out positive numbers, the value 32768 (8000h) signifies a deviation of exactly 0°.

Higher values, from 32768 to 65535 (8001h … FFFFh), indicate an acceleration of the motor (objects appear to be more narrow), lower values, from 0 to 32767

(0h … 7999h), indicate an deceleration of the motor (objects appear to be wider).

Impact of object surfaces on the measurement

The received signal from a perfectly diffuse reflection from a white surface (diffuse

Lambertian reflector) corresponds to a remission of 100%. By this definition, surfaces that reflect the light in bundles (specular surfaces, reflectors) have remissions of over

100%.

Reflection

Most surfaces produce a diffuse reflection of the laser beam in all directions. The struc‐ ture (smooth or rough), shape (flat or curved), and color (light or dark) of the surface determine how well the laser beam is reflected.

On very rough surfaces, a large proportion of the energy is lost due to absorption.

Curved surfaces produce a higher diffusion. Dark surfaces reflect the laser beam worse than light ones (brilliant white plaster reflects approx. 100% of the light, while black foam rubber reflects approx. 2.4%). The aforementioned surface characteristics can reduce the scanning range of the device, in particular for surfaces with low remission values.

Figure 5: Reflection of light on the surface of the object

Angle of reflection

The angle of reflection corresponds to the angle of incidence. If the laser beam hits a surface at right angles, the energy is optimally reflected. If the laser beam hits a sur‐ face at an oblique angle, energy and range are lost accordingly.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Retroreflection

If the reflective energy is greater than 100%, the beam is not reflected diffusely in all directions; instead it is reflected in a targeted way (retroreflection). Thus a large part of the emitted energy can be received by the laser distance measurer. Plastic reflectors

(cat’s eyes), reflective tape, and triple prisms have these properties.

Figure 7: Retroreflection

Reflective surfaces

The laser beam is almost completely deflected on reflective surfaces. This means that an object hit by the deflected beam may be detected instead of the reflective surface.

Figure 8: Specular surfaces

Small objects

Objects that are smaller than the diameter of the laser beam cannot reflect the laser light’s full energy. The portion of the light beam that does not reach the object is lost. If all of the light reflected to the sensor is insufficient, the object may not be detected.

The portion of the light that does not reach the front object can be reflected by a larger object in the background. If all of the light reflected to the sensor is sufficient, this object is detected. This can lead to a corruption of the measured value.

Filters

The device has digital filters for pre-processing and optimizing the measured distance values. They enable the device to be adapted to meet the specific requirements of the respective application.

3.5.8.1

3.5.8.3

The filters can be combined without restrictions. If several filters are active, then the filters are applied sequentially to the results of the preceding filter. The processing sequence is as follows:

• Scan range filter

• Edge filter

• Median filter

• Mean filter

The active filter functions affect the output measured values. It is not possible to recal‐ culate the original measured values from the filtered output values. For this reason, cer‐ tain combinations of filters might not be advisable.

A particularly effective way to reduce the data in a scan is to restrict the scan range

(reducing the measurement points). A good way of reducing data in multiple scans is to use the mean filter (reducing the event rate) or, alternatively, to select a higher output interval.

Scan range filter

The scan range filter is used to restrict the angular range output per scan.

The maximum range is set to 70° by default. This produces 841 measurement points.

The range can be restricted by increasing the start angle (default setting = 55°) or reducing the stop angle (default = 125°). Please note that the angle beam is defined orthogonally in relation to the front at 90° and the direction of rotation of the device is

set to counterclockwise, see figure 3, page 14

.

The minimum difference between start angle and stop angle is 1/12°; this is equiva‐ lent to the output of a single measurement point. It is not possible to output multiple scan ranges (e.g., 55° ... 70° and 90° ... 110°).

Edge filter

The edge filter eliminates erroneous or extreme distance values at edges. These arise as a result of laser light, which partly hits an object in the foreground and partly hits a

more distant object, or due to too little light remission at the object itself, see "Impact of object surfaces on the measurement", page 19 . The filter evaluates the difference in

distance between adjacent points.

When the edge filter is activated, the device sets a distance value of 0 at each edge

(values in

bold

in the table).

The edge filter enables points to be entirely suppressed at the outer edges of the object. In this case, the width of an object is detected by up to 2× angular resolution too narrow.

Median filter

This filter is suitable for excluding individual outliers in the distance values.

The values included in the calculation are defined using a 1 x 3 matrix:

3 measured values, consisting of the distance values of a point and its two adjacent points in the scan, are sorted by size.

The measured value in the middle of this sequence is output as the distance value, along with its remission value and quality value, as well as the original angle correction value.

The median values are determined and output as moving values (median angular incre‐ ment 2 from the unfiltered distances values 1, 2, and 3; median angular increment 3 from the unfiltered distances values 2, 3, and 4, etc.).

A median cannot be determined as the measured value for the first and last angular increments in a scan. The distance value 0 (= invalid) is always output.

When using the median filter, the measured values are output with a time delay of one scan.

Once the measured value telegram has been confirmed, the first measured value is not output until after the configured number of scans. Therefore, there is always a time delay equivalent to the number of scans configured for averaging. The digit of the first scan included in the averaging calculation is always output in the scan counter. Invalid distance values (= 0) are not included in the averaging calculation, so that in these places a smaller number of scans is used in the division calculation. The measured val‐ ues from other channels (remission, angle correction, quality) are not averaged; instead, the value of the first scan from each channel is output.

Based on the scanning frequency of 600 Hz, a measured value is generated every

1.67 ms. The time delay affecting data output results from this base value multiplied by the number of averaging operations (e.g., 2 averaging operations = 3.34 ms,

10 averaging operations = 16.67 ms). This time delay is not increased if the median filter is activated at the same time.

Motor synchronization for measuring range extension

Based on the technical and geometrical properties of the device, objects up to 1 m in height can be measured continuously on a width of approx. 2.6 m. At a height of up to

2 m, a continuous width of approx. 1.4 m is achievable.

To increase the width of the field for the intended application or to avoid shadowing effects caused by geometrical properties, multiple devices can be mounted side by side at the same level.

To avoid mutual optical interference of adjacent sensors (beam dazzle or reflection), the motors can be synchronized. The devices must have the same orientation when doing so.

If you are using motor synchronization, please note:

• The slave devices do not send feedback to the master. The

Sync

LED on the mas‐ ter lights up as soon as the sync signal is sent. The

Sync

LED on the slave starts flashing as soon as a sync signal is received and lights up permanently once the motors have been synchronized.

• If devices are mounted exactly in parallel (angle of rotation = 0°), the default set‐ ting for the phase at the slave can usually be left unchanged at 0°.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

• For devices that are mounted at a specific angle of rotation in relation to each other, direct dazzle can be virtually excluded through motor synchronization.

Reflection can occur at certain angles depending on the distance between devices and the measuring distance to the object. Although these effects can be reduced by adjusting the phase, if the objects being scanned are of different heights they cannot be ruled out completely.

• The maximum phase angle is 80°; this is approximately equivalent to the angle at which the laser exits the device. Inside the device, the covered angle is 120°.

• There is no fixed upper limit on the number of devices that can be synchronized via the master signal. However, the total length of the transmission cables must not exceed 20 m.

Setting up motor synchronization:

1.

Connect the motor-sync I/Os and the sensors to be synchronized using shielded cables (in a star configuration).

2.

Viewed from the front, define the device located furthest to the left as the master

(set the corresponding parameter value in the Interfaces view in the SOPAS ET soft‐ ware).

NOTICE

Device damage due to incorrect parameterization!

• Ensure that only one device is defined as master .

3.

Configure all other connected devices as slaves and set the angle of rotation of each device relative to the master as the phase (the phase specifies the angular offset by which the slave motor lags behind the master motor).

After a few seconds, the

Sync

LED on the slave lights up permanently green. The devices are now synchronized.

Mounting instructions

• Observe the technical data.

• Protect the sensor from direct sunlight.

• To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐ ture.

• The mounting site has to be designed for the weight of the device.

• It should be mounted so that it is exposed to as little shock and vibration as possi‐

ble. Optional mounting accessories are available, see "Accessories", page 51 .

• Avoid having shiny or reflective surfaces in the scanning range, e.g., stainless steel, aluminum, glass, reflectors, or surfaces with these types of coatings.

• Protect the device from moisture, contamination, and damage.

• Make sure that the status indicator is clearly visible.

• Do not subject the device to excessive shock or vibrations. In systems subjected to heavy vibrations, secure the fixing screws with screw-locking devices.

• If necessary, affix additional laser warning labels to the device and/or replace an

English laser warning label with a warning label in another language.

Conveyor system requirements (if used)

• The conveyor system must work with a constant conveyor speed, or an incremental encoder must be installed.

• The objects can be moved on a conveyor system with a flat conveyor surface. If the objects rotate, vibrate, roll, or slip on the conveyor system or on uneven conveying surfaces, the accuracy of the measurements may be reduced thereby negatively impacting the analysis.

To achieve the best possible measurement result, please note:

• Typical space requirement for the device installation: approximately 700 mm above the tallest object (measured from measured value origin).

• The device must have a clear view of the conveyor system.

• The laser beams of the device should not reach beyond the application space, so that people or goods, which are being transported on an adjacent conveyor sys‐ tem, are not detected (limiting detection by beam separation).

• The maximum detection must be limited to a working range of three meters, as measurement inaccuracies may otherwise result.

• Ensure sufficient distance between the device and curves, induction lines, start/ stop areas, areas with upward and downward inclines, and breaks in the conveyor system.

• If two or more devices are mounted one behind the other offset in parallel and are not synchronized, the orthogonal distance of the laser lines must be at least 7 cm.

• There must be no foreign objects in the receiving range of the sensor (see the dimensional drawing).

Mounting the device

1.

Mount the device in a suitably prepared bracket using the fixing holes provided and make provision for limiting detection by beam separation.

2.

Tighten the mounting screws to 6 Nm. If you are using coated screws, select a pre‐ tension of 5 Nm after screw contact.

3.

Make the electrical connection. Attach a voltage-free cable and tighten to 0.6 Nm

(note the tightening torque specified on the cable).

4.

Switch on the voltage supply.

The status LED lights up after successful initialization. The device is ready for use.

NOTE

Preassembled cables can be found online at:

• www.sick.com/LMS4000

NOTICE

Faults during operation and device or system defects!

Incorrect wiring may result in operational faults and defects.

Follow the wiring notes precisely.

All electrical connections of the device are configured as M12 round connectors.

The pins of the voltage supply are reverse polarity protected.

The protection class stated in the technical data is achieved only with screwed plug con‐ nectors or protective caps.

Observe the following notes to ensure safe and trouble-free operation:

• When using shielded cables, place the cable shield in the control cabinet.

• Connect the connecting cables in a de-energized state. Do not switch on the sup‐ ply voltage until installation is complete and all connecting cables have been con‐ nected to the device and control.

• The tightening torque for cables is typically 0.4 Nm or 0.6 Nm. This value must not be exceeded.

• Wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the customer’s power system should be designed in accordance with the applicable standards. Protect the device with an external slow-blow fuse of 6.3 A at the beginning of the supply cable, viewed from the voltage supply.

• All electric circuits connected to the device must be designed as SELV or PELV cir‐ cuits (SELV = Safety Extra Low Voltage, PELV = Protective Extra Low Voltage).

• The specified enclosure rating of the device when mounted is reached only if suit‐ able mating connectors or protective caps are used.

• Do not open the screwed housing of the device and do not remove the laser pro‐ tection hood (if one has been fitted) as this will invalidate the warranty.

• When configuring the digital inputs/outputs, make sure that the wired pins of two devices are not functioning as an output concurrently (i.e., motor synchronization with two devices configured as a master, or Out 1 concurrent with zero index signal of an incremental encoder).

Prerequisites for safe operation of the device

WARNING

Risk of injury and damage caused by electrical current!

As a result of equipotential bonding currents between the device and other grounded devices in the system, faulty grounding of the device can give rise to the following dan‐ gers and faults:

Dangerous voltages are applied to the metal housings.

Devices will behave incorrectly or be destroyed.

Cable shielding will be damaged by overheating and cause cable fires.

Remedial measures

Only skilled electricians should be permitted to carry out work on the electrical sys‐ tem.

If the cable insulation is damaged, disconnect the voltage supply immediately and have the damage repaired.

Ensure that the ground potential is the same at all grounding points.

Where local conditions do not meet the requirements for a safe earthing method, take appropriate measures (e.g., ensuring low-impedance and current-carrying equipotential bonding).

The device is connected to the peripheral devices (voltage supply, any local trigger sen‐ sor(s), system controller) via shielded cables. The cable shield – for the data cable, for example – rests against the metal housing of the device. The device can be grounded through the cable shield or through a blind tapped hole in the housing, for example.

If the peripheral devices have metal housings and the cable shields are also in contact with their housings, it is assumed that all devices involved in the installation have the

same ground potential

.

This is achieved by complying with the following conditions:

If these conditions are not fulfilled, equipotential bonding currents can flow along the cable shielding between the devices due to differing ground potentials and cause the hazards specified. This is, for example, possible in cases where there are devices within a widely distributed system covering several buildings.

Remedial measures

The most common solution to prevent equipotential bonding currents on cable shields is to ensure low-impedance and current-carrying equipotential bonding. If this equipo‐ tential bonding is not possible, the following solution approaches serve as a suggestion.

NOTICE

We expressly advise against opening up the cable shields. This would mean that the

EMC limit values can no longer be complied with and that the safe operation of the device data interfaces can no longer be guaranteed.

Measures for widely distributed system installations

On widely distributed system installations with correspondingly large potential differ‐ ences, the setting up of local islands and connecting them using commercially available

electro-optical signal isolators

is recommended. This measure achieves a high degree of resistance to electromagnetic interference.

Even in the event of large differences in the ground potential, ground loops are effec‐ tively prevented. As a result, equalizing currents can no longer flow via the cable shields and metal housing.

NOTICE

The voltage supply for the device and the connected peripheral devices must also guar‐ antee the required level of insulation.

Under certain circumstances, a tangible potential can develop between the insulated metal housings and the local ground potential.

Output of measured values via terminal program

Example commands for output of measured values

If the LMS4000 sensor receives one of the two example commands by telegram via the

Ethernet interface, it will start the output of measured values via this data interface.

The device must be switched on and in measuring mode.

The detailed structure of the output telegram as well as the flow of requests and out‐ puts is described in the “Measurement output telegram” chapter in the Telegram listing publication (English, no. 8014631).

For the content of the response telegram for the measured value request, see the telegram listing (no. 8014631) under Send Data Permanently in Chapter 4. The telegram consists of one part with information on the configuration of the device and the time stamp, one part with measured data, and a status part with information on the device status and the statuses of the inputs/outputs.

After starting the measurement mode, the device needs some time to reach status 1

(“ready”). You should, therefore, query the status of the device using the sRN SCdevicestate

telegram.

Then request measured data via telegram at the data interface from which you want to receive measured data. This can be achieved in two ways:

• The request of exactly one measured value telegram with the sRN LMDscandata telegram

(hexadecimal:

73524E204C4D447363616E64617461

) – the last mea‐ sured scan is transmitted.

• Continuous request of measurement data with the sEN LMDscandata 1 telegram

(hexadecimal:

73454E204C4D447363616E646174612001

) – measure‐ ment data is transmitted until the output of measured values is stopped with the sEN LMDscandata 0 telegram

(hexadecimal:

73454E204C4D447363616E646174612000

) .

Activating the output of the measured values in SOPAS on a test basis:

1.

Start the terminal emulator: > Tools > Terminal .

2.

In the dialog window in the Connections menu, select the Create new connection func‐ tion.

3.

In the connection wizard, select the communication interface ( Ethernet ) and con‐ nection settings (default IP address: 192.168.0.1) and establish the connection

( Finish button).

4.

Make the following settings in the connection wizard: communication interface

( Ethernet ), communication protocol ( CoLa A/B ), and connection settings ( default IP address : 192.168.0.1; TCP port : 2112 (for CoLa ASCII) or 2111 (for CoLa binary);

SOPAS hub address : 0; CoLa dialect : ASCII or binary; CoLa addressing mode : by name;

Duplex mode : full-duplex; Byte order : big-endian; Connection timeout : 1500 ms; Addi‐ tional timeout : 0 ms). Then establish the connection ( Finish button).

5.

Enter in the input line one of the two example telegrams from the annex as they appear (automatically framed by STX and ETX when sending in the default setting).

Pay attention to blank characters in the string.

OPERATION

6.

Use the button to send the telegram to the LMS4000.

The LiDAR sensor responds by providing the data as a one-off or continuously in the display area of the terminal emulator.

NOTE

We recommend using CoLa binary for the output of measurement data in the applica‐ tion. CoLa ASCII is suitable in particular for device parameterization. However, depend‐ ing on the parameter settings, there is a risk that errors will occur when using this com‐ mand language for data output.

Data output format of the measured values

The data output format for each scan comprises:

• Configuration information

• Measured values (radial distance (DIST))

• Remission (RSSI/REFL)

• Angle correction (ANGL)

• Quality (QLTY)

• Device and status information

• Time stamp

In the default settings, the distance is output as a measured value (in mm).

To output more measured values or information in the telegram:

1.

Open the device window: > Device > Open .

2.

Check the corresponding box under Output format .

The telegram output interval can also be changed here, so that only every second or third telegram is sent via the data interface during the output of measured values, for example.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning procedure

CAUTION

Optical radiation: Laser class 2

The human eye is not at risk when briefly exposed to the radiation for up to 0.25 sec‐ onds. Exposure to the laser beam for longer periods of time may cause damage to the retina. The laser radiation is harmless to human skin.

Do not look into the laser beam intentionally.

Never point the laser beam at people's eyes.

If it is not possible to avoid looking directly into the laser beam, e.g., during com‐ missioning and maintenance work, suitable eye protection must be worn.

Avoid laser beam reflections caused by reflective surfaces. Be particularly careful during mounting and alignment work.

Do not open the housing. Opening the housing may increase the level of risk.

Current national regulations regarding laser protection must be observed.

b

Switch off the device for the duration of the cleaning operation. If this is not possi‐ ble, use suitable laser protection goggles. These must absorb radiation of the device’s wavelength effectively.

b

Remove dust from the front screen using a soft, clean brush. If necessary, also clean the screen with a clean, damp, lint-free cloth, and a mild anti-static lens cleaning fluid.

NOTICE

If the front screen is scratched or damaged (cracked or broken), it must be replaced.

Contact SICK Support to arrange this.

If the front screen is cracked or broken, take the device out of operation immedi‐ ately for safety reasons and have it repaired by SICK.

Question/Problem

Unable to switch on device, LEDs not responding

Device starts initially

(LEDs are on, motor starts to turn) but then stops and restarts after a few seconds

Unable to find device in SOPAS ET

Device is configured as a DHCP client

(dynamic IP address), but cannot be found in the network

Possible causes

Pins have been wired incor‐ rectly

• Voltage supply is not switched on

• Permissible supply voltage not adhered to

Power supply unit not power‐ ful enough

• Applied voltage is almost out of range

• Current limiting set to less than 1.7 A

• Voltage drop on cable when using longer lengths of cable

• Ethernet cable not con‐ nected

• IP address range for network adapter configured incor‐ rectly

• Unsuitable search settings selected in the device search

• Non-compatible SOPAS ET version used

• Device has not received an

IP address (no DHCP server present or reachable)

• Device is not directly con‐ nected to the network (e.g., direct PC connection only)

Troubleshooting

Check pin assignments and volt‐ age supply

• Check the supply voltage

Check dimensioning of system with connected sensors, lengths of cables, voltage, current limit‐ ing, and power loss

• Check the supply voltage

• Check the Ethernet connection (if you know the IP address, check with a ping CMD)

Set the network adapter (TCP/

IPv4) to the IP address range and subnet mask of the sensor (sen‐ sor default: 192.168.0.1;

255.255.255.0)

Check the selected search set‐ tings or use the default search

• Update SOPAS ET

• Device is in fallback mode: If “sta‐ tic IP” mode was previously selected, the device can only be reached via that IP (default:

192.168.0.1; 255.255.255.0).

• Device is in repeat mode: Still waiting for a DHCP server. In this case the device can be found using the default search in

SOPAS ET (IP 0.0.0.0) and recon‐ figured to a different IP address.

• Connect the device directly to the network via a patched network socket or a switch. Run the default search in SOPAS ET.

• Have the network checked by a system administrator and any faults eliminated. Disconnect the device from the voltage supply for

10 seconds, then restart it.

NOTICE

When the device is starting up and during a restart, no data telegrams or responses are sent by the device for a period of up to 30 seconds. The blank spaces (hexadecimal: 20) must be added to the calculation of the telegram length when both sending and receiving telegrams.

The recommended CoLa binary is structured as follows:

4 bytes STX (hexadecimal: 02)

4 bytes telegram length

Telegram content

1 byte XOR checksum (calculated from the content)
