RS-485 Type

Multi-drop support

Buffering data storage of up to 16,000 measurements

• Level operation: Measured values are buffered at a particular time, or when an event occurs.
   

  e.g.

  • Level (Input ON): Buffering occurs during external input.
  • Level (Judgement ON/OFF): Buffering occurs while judgement is ON/OFF.

• Replay operation: Measurement values are buffered during external input or until immediately before the judgement changes.

  e.g.

  • Replay (Input ON): Buffering starts when the power is turned on and stops on the rising edge of an external input.
  • Replay (Judgement ON/OFF): Buffering stops when sensor judgment is switched ON/OFF

*If the number of data exceeds 16,000, the oldest data will be overwritten.
(Common to level and replay operation modes)

Software CD2H_RS485_Navigator for RS-485 type

• Software is available to check measurement values, received light waveform and acquire buffering data on a PC by using a commercially available RS-485-USB converter.
  It can be downloaded free of charge from our website. →Click here for software

Applications (Buffering function)

• Inspecting stopping accuracy of robots

  

  Determine the tolerance of the position at which the robot stops at the reference point.
  Using the buffering function, the behavior of the robot from before it returns to the reference point can be acquired as continuous data.

• Detection of minute chips on small parts

  

  Detects minute chips on small parts.
  Using the buffering function, the shape data of the chipped part can be retained.

• Detection of Uneven Winding
   

  

  When CD2H judges that the wire is unevenly wound, buffering is stopped and the continuous data immediately before the wire became unevenly wound can be retrieved as buffered data.
