Laser Distance­Gauging Sensors

Advanced time-of-flight technology at less cost

The L-GAGE® LT3 sensor uses “time-of-ight” technology
for precise, long-distance gauging at the speed of light.
The microprocessor-controlled laser distance-gauging
sensor features a unique design for exceptional accuracy
and range at a much lower cost than competitive laser­gauging devices. Precise performance and low price
make the LT3 an ideal solution for a variety of precision
inspection applications.

lUMINESCENCE

• Available in accurate diffuse-mode models with ranges
to 5 m and retroreflective models with a 50 m range

• Emits one million pulses per second

• Reliably detects angled targets

Analog & discrete outputs, or dual-discrete models

The LT3 can include both a discrete (switched) output
and an analog output in the same unit, with independently
programmable window limits. For added exibility, the
analog output is available in a choice of 4 to 20 mA
or 0 to 10V dc. You can also choose models with two
independent discrete outputs, selectable PNP (sourcing)
or NPN (sinking).

Compact, self-contained design

• The LT3’s design conserves production space and
decreases setup time.

• The self-contained system measures just 68.5 by 35.3
by 87.0 mm, to fit and function in tighter spaces than
competitive systems.

U-GAGE® Q45U

Flexible
Ultrasonic Sensors

The U-GAGE® Q45U series offers a choice of analog or
bipolar discrete models, designed for either long-range or
short-range sensing.

• Push-button TEACH programming makes it easy to set

the near/far limits of the sensing window.

• Available ranges are 100 to 1400 mm for the

short-range models and 0.25 to 3.0 m for the
long-range models.

• Bipolar discrete models have switches for ON/OFF

presence detection and HIGH/LOW level control.

- In ON/OFF mode, detects either when the target is
within the set range or when it is outside the range.

- In HIGH/LOW mode, detects when the target is
outside the configured range, for fill level control, web
tensioning control and similar applications.

• Response time is programmed with switches in discrete

models and with a potentiometer in analog models.

• For remote programming, analog models can be wired

directly to an external switch, controller or computer to
set window limits—ideal for inaccessible applications
such as roll diameter detection for overhead cranes.

PAGE 415 & 421

Program storage cards

After you set up window limits,
you can store the limits on
circuit cards with non-volatile
memory for fast setup. Just
store the settings from any Q45U
sensor on the card, and then transfer
the settings to any Q45U sensor with
the same available sensing range.

Sensor: 2 m attached PVC cable terminated with 4-pin Euro-style quick-disconnect tting for
connection to controller.

Controller and sensor: -25° to +70° C Relative humidity: 85% (non-condensing)

All models meet Mil. Std. 202F requirements. Method 201A Vibration: 10 to 60Hz max., double
amplitude 0.06” (maximum acceleration 10G). Method 213B conditions H & I (Shock: 75G with unit
operating; 100G for non-operation). Also meets IEC 947-5-2 requirements: 30G, 11 milliseconds
duration, half sine wave.

Discrete: The TEACH-mode function of the controller is used to set the sensing distance set point.
The sensing window size is set using DIP switches #2 and #3. The sensing distance set point is
centered within the sensing widow. The size of the sensing window may be adjusted at any
time, with or without power applied, and without re-teaching the sensing distance set point.

The controller has non-volatile memory which remembers the last sensing distance set point
setting if power is removed and later reapplied.

The sensing distance set point may be programmed using the Remote TEACH input
(see hookup diagrams).

Acceptable target angle is within ±5° of normal for a smooth, at target; target rotation does
affect the apparent target location with respect to the sensor.

System Configuration

Many options, yet easy to program.

The software included with the control module makes it easy to configure the High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY® using your PC-compatible computer*.
Simply load the software, access the program, perform the “Ping” procedure to select the desired controller and access the Edit PSF Configuration
screen, shown below. Each option is easily selectable, using your mouse and the pop-up menu-style selections.

*Running Windows® 95, 98, NT, ME, XP or 2000

LIGHT

ULTRASONIC

Selected Controller

Identifies the specific control

module being configured.

Control Mode Selection

Continuous Mode: The control

module constantly polls

the array for status.

Host Mode: The control module

polls the array for status when

prompted by a host controller.

Gate Mode: The control module

polls the array for status when

prompted by an input from a

Gate sensor.

Scanning Method

Straight scan polls each beam

sequentially to determine the target

object’s overall size. This is the most

accurate and precise measurement,

but also the most time-consuming.
Single Edge scan requires the target
object to block beam 1 (closest to the

sensors’ cabled ends), then conducts

a time-saving binary search to “hunt”

for the target’s overall height (one

variable edge).

Double Edge scan conducts a

binary search of the entire array to

“hunt” for the target’s overall width

(two variable edges).

Analysis (Measurement)

Mode Selection

Choose the measurement

option that best tells you the

size and/or position of objects

as they relate to the array.

Serial Communication

Changes the identification
and baud rate of the
controller being configured.

Trigger/Trigger Channel Number

May be used to trigger (or gate) the scan
sequence of another A-GAGE High-Resolution
MINI-ARRAY controller; in straight scanning
mode, it defines when during each scan discrete
Output #2 will change state.

Serial Transmission

Specifies the type of data transmitted
from the control module to its host after
each scan.

Measurement Mode Result: Data

transmitted will reflect the Analysis Mode
selections.

All Mode: Transmits all data.
Max. Meas. Mode: Sends only the largest

measurement in each measuring event,
to decrease transmission size and speed
response. Choose to send when the array
is clear or send at the host’s request.
Transmission Type: ASCII or Binary,
defines the format in which the data
will be sent.
Serial Options: Suppress Clear Data
or Suppress Header to decrease
transmission size and speed response.

Scan #: (1-9) Analog outputs are updated with

an average value of the data received during
the selected number of scans; discrete outputs
respond only if the received data is
identical for all of the selected number
of consecutive scans.

Analog and Discrete
Output Assignment

Assigns an analysis

Set Point and Hysteresis Selection

Assigns the set point to determine where
within the array the output(s) will respond and
hysteresis values to smooth output response.

Alarm: Causes the control module to

turn on discrete Output #2 whenever the
System detects a sensing error or if the
optical signal becomes marginal.

Many options, yet easy to program

GAUGING

The software included with the control module makes it easy to congure the MINI-ARRAY

®

using your PC-compatible computer*.
Simply load the software, access the program and access the Edit PSF Conguration screen, shown below. Each option is easily
selectable, using your mouse and the pop-up menu-style selections.

*Running Windows® 95, 98, NT, ME, XP or 2000

Analysis (Measurement)

SCREENS

Choose the measurement

option that best tells you the

size and/or position of objects

as they relate to the array.

Mode Selection

Control Mode Selection

Continuous Mode: The control module

constantly polls the array for status.

Gate Mode: The control module polls

the array for status when prompted

by an input from a Gate sensor.

Host Mode: The control module

polls the array for status when

prompted by a host controller.

Serial Communication

Changes the identification
and baud rate of the
controller being configured.

Blanking

Allows either 1 or 2 areas of the
array to be blind to the activity of
the area specified.

Serial Transmission

Scanning Method

Straight scan polls each

beam sequentially to determine

the target object’s overall size
This is the most accurate and

precise measurement, but

also the most time consuming.

Interlaced alternates a straight

scan with a slanted beam scan

to improve optical resolution

in the center one third of the

sensing range.

Edge activates only the beams

located near the top edge of
the object in the light screen to
reduce sensing response time.

Skip - one to seven beams

skipped reduces response

time. Minimum object detection

size increases proportionally

to the number of beams skipped

Analog and Discrete

Output Assignment

Assigns an analysis

(measurement) mode

to each output.

Alarm/Trigger

Output 2 may instead be programmed to
serve as a trigger input for another
MINI-ARRAY or ALARM for the
self-diagnostic circuitry.

Choose ASCII, binary or no serial
communication

Invert

Allows output to be normally open
(No) or normally closed (Yes)

Scan #: (1-9) Analog outputs

are updated with an average
value of the data received during
the selected number of scans;
discrete outputs respond only
if the received data is identical
for all of the selected number of
consecutive scans.

Set Point and
Hysteresis Selection

Assigns the set point to determine
where within the array the output(s)
will respond and hysteresis values to
smooth output response.
