1. Introduction
Détector France congratulates and thanks you for having selected its PC2003
amplifier for your applications. After a brief presentation of the device’s
capabilities, this guide describes all the menus and functions you will encounter
during programming and use. For details about the sensor and its mechanical
mounting, please refer to the Integration and mechanical adjustment manual.
Don’t hesitate to contact us for additional information or problems, a technician
will answer your questions.
The PC2003 is designed to measure part length or diameters (depending on the
sensor type chosen) using an LVDT linear probe. Three measurement modes are
available: Peak , Peak Controlled or Realtime.
The Peak mode (default) can be described as follows:
1- During the passing of a part (spindle indexing), the sensor moves when it
comes in contact with the part.
2- The largest value (the sensor’s peak movement) is stored by the amplifier.
3- After the valid signal is sent by the machine at end of the cycle, the stored
value is compared to the reference value and the programmed tolerances.
4- The amplifier instantaneously triggers relays based on the results of its
comparison (good part, min. part, max. part or machine shutdown).
5- If the measured part is not within tolerance, the machine can be shutdown
using these relays. On the contrary, if the measured part is within tolerance,
the amplifier is automatically reset and awaits the next cycle.
The Peak Controlled mode differs only from the Peak mode because there is
another check (internal to the amplifier) to assure that the sensor is working
correctly:
The first stages (1 and 2) are the same until the valid signal.
3-When the valid signal is sent from the machine, the value stored in memory
is compared to the reference and to the programmed tolerances, but there is
also another check of the instantaneous position of the sensor (sensor value
at the time of the valid signal). This control will be correct only if this
instantaneous value is not within the defined tolerances at the moment of the
valid signal.
4-The amplifier instantaneously sends the results to the machine (control of
the stored value + control of the instantaneous value)
5-If the measured part is not within tolerance, the machine will be shutdown at
the end of the cycle and will show a bad part on the screen.
If the sensor does not come back to its initial position, so the instantaneous
value at the moment of the valid signal is still within tolerance, the machine
will stop at the end of the cycle and show defective sensor on the screen.
On the contrary if the 2 controls are Ok (peak measure within tolerance and
instantaneous measure at the moment of the valid signal not within tolerance)
the machine is not shutdown and the measurement is reset and will wait for
the next cycle.

PC 2003 Amplifier
The Realtime mode can be described as follows:
1- The sensor, mounted at a station (like a drill tool), comes in contact with the
part (during the work) until it is at the machining end stop.
2- Then the valid pulse is sent by the machine; the instantaneous (current
position of sensor) value is directly compared to the reference and the
tolerances.
3- The amplifier triggers the relays based on the result of its comparison (good
part, min. part, max. part or machine shutdown).
4- If the measured part is not within tolerance, the machine can be shutdown
using these relays. On the contrary, if the measured part is within tolerance,
the measurement is reset and awaits the next valid signal.
Other functions are present in this amplifier, such as the masking of a
measurement during a material feed operation, the transfer of a measurement, or
the machine shutdown function.
The PC2003 is suitable for most multi-spindle/single spindle machine tools which
are cam driven or numerically controlled. Thanks to the user friendliness of the
menus, any user can rapidly plug in and use the amplifier and easily navigate
within it. In addition, once adjusted, the amplifier can be locked to prevent any
handling errors.
All the menus and functions are detailed in the rest of this guide.

2. PARAMETER SETTINGS
2.1 Calibrating the reference
Calibrating the reference allows the calibration of the sensor to a reference part
on your machine. Calibration must be done only after the amplifier has been
correctly wired and your machine correctly adjusted so that the dimension to be
measured is a mean and stable dimension (without machine drift). By default, the
sensor is delivered to you preloaded in the probe. However, if the internal sensor
was disassembled from the probe for replacement or a cleaning, the sensor has
to be preloaded and tare reset in the probe. This procedure is detailed below in
subsection Adjusting sensor preloading in Integration and mechanical

2.2 Adjusting the tolerances
The tolerances limits define the range of acceptable readings, beyond which the
amplifier is going to react by triggering relays to their fault states. These
tolerances are adjusted with respect to a reference, which must be set earlier.

3. CONTROL FUNCTIONS
3.1 Masking a measurement
This function allows masking of a measurement during a material feed operation,
isolating the fed part (short) without shutting down the machine.
The masking of a measurement can be configured:
- Either inactive (no masking) ;
- Or at N closures of the VALID input (N between 1 and 25) after the MASKING
input is closed.
For a masked measurement, the corresponding channel indicates ″VALUE
MASKED″ in addition to the display of the measured value; the indicator
corresponding to the defect, if any, remains off and the outputs remain inactive.

Here is an example to get a better understanding of this function:
Everything depends on the station which the machine feeds and where the
sensor is positioned.
For our example, let’s take a TORNOS AS14 (6 spindles) machine and place the
sensor between spindles 5 and 6:
The feeding takes place at station 6, and at the same time the feed information is
sent to the amplifier. From then on, the electronic box is going to count down the
number of measurements in order to mask the measurement of the fed part which
will be short. Therefore, the 6th measurement after the masking pulse (feed
information) has to be masked and so the amplifier has to be programmed FOR 6
MEASUREMENTS.
3.2 Transferring a measurement
Transferring a measurement’s processing consists of offsetting a relay’s fault
state to the desired station. An immediate action after a part is detected outside
tolerance is not always practical for its removal. Therefore, this function allows
triggering the machine shutdown relay when the bad part is accessible, such as
when it is located in the pickoff spindle.
This function can be INACTIVE or ACTIVE after n measurements (1 to 25
maximum).

3.3 Setting the machine shutdown parameter
Setting the ″machine shutdown″ parameter is very useful if you don’t want to
penalize productivity by shutting down the machine even though the measured
bad parts are isolated from production by a recovery system controlled by the MIN
and MAX contacts.
The parameter to be adjusted is the number of consecutive measurements
outside tolerances after which the machine will be shutdown. This parameter is
adjusted by default to the minimum, that is, after 1 measurement outside
tolerance. The maximum is 25 measurements.+
