General information

1.3 Description of functions AMS 304i

The AMS 304i optical laser measurement system calculates distances to fixed as well as moving system parts. The distance to be measured is calculated according to the principle of the propagation time of radiated light. Here, the light emitted by the laser diode is reflected by a reflector onto the receiving element of the laser measurement system. The AMS 304i uses the "propagation time" of the light to calculate the distance to the reflector. The high absolute measurement accuracy of the laser measurement system and the fast integration time are designed for position control applications.
With the AMS 3xxi product series, Leuze electronic makes available a range of internation­ally relevant interfaces. Note that each interface version listed below corresponds to a different AMS 3xxi model.

5.2 Mounting the AMS 304i

Installation and mounting
Figure 5.2: Mounting the device
The AMS 304i and the corresponding reflector are mounted on two mutually opposing, plane-parallel, flat walls or system parts. For error-free position measurement, there must be an unobstructed line-of-sight connection between the AMS 304i and the reflector.
Use M5 screws to fasten the laser measurement system. Secure the screws with a toothed lock washer to protect against loosening caused by vibrations.

Installation and mounting
Aligning the laser light spot in the center of the reflector
The laser light spot has to be aligned so that it always hits the center of the opposing reflector, both at close range as well as at the maximum measurement distance. To align, use the two M5 Allen screws ("A" in figure 5.2). When aligning please ensure that the knurled nut and the lock nut ("B" in figure 5.2) are opened wide.
Attention!
To prevent the laser measurement system from moving out of alignment during continuous operation, subsequently hand-tighten the knurled nut and counterlock with the nut with WAF4 hexagon socket ("B" in figure 5.2). Knurled nut and nut must not be tightened until alignment has been completed.
Attention!
The device must not be opened. Failure to comply will render the guarantee void. Warranted features cannot be guaranteed after the device has been opened.

5.2.2 Parallel mounting of the AMS 304i

Definition of the term "parallel spacing"
As shown in figure 5.4, dimension X describes the "parallel spacing" of the inner edges of the two laser light spots on the reflector.
Figure 5.4: Minimum parallel spacing X between adjacent AMS 304i
The diameter of the light spot increases with distance.
AMS 304i 40 (H) AMS 304i 120 (H) AMS 304i 200 (H) AMS 304i 300 (H)
Max. measurement dis­tance Light spot diameter ≤ 40mm ≤ 100mm ≤ 150mm ≤ 225 mm
Thus, the center-to-center spacing of the two AMS 304i devices with respect to one another can be calculated as a function of the maximum measurement distance.
To define the minimum parallel spacing between two AMS 304i, it is necessary to distinguish between three different arrangements of AMS 304i and reflectors.
40m 120m 200m 300m
The AMS 304i are mounted stationary and in parallel on one plane. Both reflectors move independently of one another at different distances to the AMS 304i.
Minimum parallel spacing X of the two laser light spots:
X = 100mm + (max. measurement distance in mm x 0.01)
The AMS 304i are mounted stationary and in parallel on one plane. Both reflectors move in parallel at the same distance to the AMS 304i.
Measurement distance up to 120m: minimum parallel spacing X 600mm
Measurement distance up to 200m: minimum parallel spacing X 750mm
Measurement distance up to 300m: minimum parallel spacing X 750mm

Installation and mounting
The reflectors are mounted stationary and in parallel on one plane. Both AMS 304i move independently of one another at different or the same dis­tances to the reflectors.
Measurement distance up to 120 m: minimum parallel spacing X 600 mm
Measurement distance up to 200 m: minimum parallel spacing X 750 mm
Measurement distance up to 300 m: minimum parallel spacing X 750 mm
Notice!
Please note that when the AMS 304i are mounted in a mobile manner, travel tolerances could cause the two laser light spots to move towards each other. Take the travel tolerances of the vehicle into account when defining the parallel spacing of adjacent AMS 304i.

5.2.3 Parallel mounting of AMS 304i and DDLS optical data transmission

The optical data transceivers of the DDLS series and the AMS 304i do not interfere with one another. Depending on the size of the used reflector, the DDLS can be mounted with a minimum parallel spacing of 100mm to the AMS 304i. The parallel spacing is independent of the distance.

5.3 Mounting the AMS 304i with laser beam deflector unit

General information
The two available deflector units are used for the 90° deflection of the laser beam, see "Accessory deflector unit" on page 105.
Attention!
The deflector units are designed for a maximum range of 40m. Longer distances on request.

5.3.1 Mounting the laser beam deflector unit With integrated mounting bracket

The AMS 304i is screwed onto the mechanism of the US AMS 01 deflector unit. The mirror can be mounted for three deflection directions:
1. Upward beam deflection
2. Beam deflection to the left
3. Beam deflection to the right
The deflector unit is mounted on plane-parallel, flat walls or plant components. For error­free position measurement, there must be an interruption-free line-of-sight between the AMS 304i… and the deflection mirror as well as between the mirror and the reflector.
Use the M5 screws to mount the deflector unit. Secure the screws with a toothed lock washer to protect against loosening caused by vibrations.

6 Reflectors

6.1 General information

The AMS 304i measures distances against a reflective tape specified by Leuze electronic. All provided specifications for the AMS 304i, such as the operating range or accuracy, can only be achieved with the reflective tape specified by Leuze electronic.
The reflective tapes are available as adhesive tapes, affixed to a metal plate and with an integrated heater especially for use at low temperatures. Reflective tapes with heating have the designation "Reflective tape …x…-H", where "H" is an abbreviation for the heating variant.
The reflective tapes/reflectors must be ordered separately. The choice of size is left to the user. In chapter 6.3, recommendations on reflector size are provided as a function of the distance that is to be measured. In any case, the user must check to determine whether the recommendation is suitable for the respective application.

6.2 Description of the reflective tape

The reflective tape consists of a white, microprism-based reflective material. The micro­prisms are protected with a highly transparent, hard protective layer.
Under certain circumstances, the protective layer may lead to surface reflections. The surface reflections can be directed past the AMS 304i by positioning the reflective tape at a slight incline. The inclination of the reflective tape/reflectors is described in chapter 6.4.2. The required pitch can be found in table 6.1 "Reflector pitch resulting from spacer sleeves" on page 36.
The reflective tapes are provided with a protective fo il that ca n ea si ly be pulled of f. This mu st be removed from the reflector before the complete system is put into operation.

6.2.4 Specifications of heated reflectors

The reflective tape is affixed to a heated, thermally insulated base. The insulation results in a very high energetic efficiency.
Only the reflective tape is kept at the specified temperature by the integrated heater. Through the insulation on the back, the generated heat cannot be transferred via the steel construction. Energy costs are greatly reduced in the case of continuous heating.

6.3 Selecting reflector sizes

Depending on system design, the reflector can be mounted so that it travels on the vehicle or it can be mounted at a fixed location.
Attention!
The reflector sizes shown below are a recommendation from Leuze electronic for on-vehicle mounting of the AMS 304i. For stationary mounting of the AMS 304i, a smaller reflector is generally sufficient for all measurement distances. On the basis of the system planning and design, always check whether mechanical travel tolerances may require the use of a reflector larger than that which is recommended. This applies, in particular, when the laser measurement system is mounted on a vehicle. During travel, the laser beam must reach the reflector without interruption. For on-vehicle mounting of the AMS 304i, the reflector size must accommodate any travel tolerances that may arise and the associated "wandering" of the light spot on the reflector.

6.4 Mounting the reflector

6.4.1 General information

Self-adhesive reflective tapes
The reflective tapes of the "Reflective tape …x…-S" self-adhesive series must be affixed to a flat, clean and grease-free surface. We recommend using a separate metal plate, which is to be provided on-site.
As described in table 6.1, the reflective tape must be angled.
Reflective tapes on metal
The reflective tapes of the "Reflective tape …x…-M" series are provided with corresponding mounting holes. Spacer sleeves are provided in the packet for achieving the necessary pitch angle. For further information see table 6.1.
Heated reflectors
The reflective tapes of the "Reflective tape ...x...-H" series are provided with corresponding mounting holes. Due to the voltage supply affixed on the rear, the reflector cannot be mounted flat. Included in the package are four distance sleeves in two different lengths. Use the distance sleeves to achieve a base separation to the wall as well as the necessary pitch for avoiding surface reflection. For further information see table 6.1.
The reflector is provided with a 2m-long connection cable for supplying with 230V AC. Connect the cable to the closest power outlet. Observe the current consumptions listed in the specifications.
Reflectors
Attention!
Connection work must be carried out by a certified electrician.

6.4.2 Mounting the reflector

The combination of laser measurement system and reflective tape/reflector is mounted so that the laser light spot hits the tape as centered as possible and without interruption.
For this purpose, use the alignment elements provided on the AMS 304i… (see chapter 5.2 "Mounting the AMS 304i"). If necessary, remove the protective foil from the reflector.
Attention!
The "TOP" label mounted on the reflectors should be aligned the same as the connections of the AMS 304i.
Example: If the AMS 304i is mounted so that the M12 connections are on the top, the "TOP" label of the reflector is also on the top. If the AMS 304i is mounted so that the M12 connections are on the side, the "TOP" label of the reflector is also on the side.

Viewing and editing parameters
As long as parameter enabling is activated, the entire AMS 304i display is inverted.
As long as parameter enabling is activated, communication between control and AMS 304i is interrupted. The continued networking via BUS OUT is retained.
Notice!
If a password was stored, parameter enabling is not possible until this password is entered, see "Password for parameter enabling" below.
Notice!
Parameters which are defined in a GSD file have priority. After deactivation of parameter en­abling on the AMS 304i, the parameter defined in the control are reactivated. The address setting is not overwritten.
For the SSI interface, the communication between the control and the AMS 304i is also active the case of parameter enabling.
Notice!
Changes to the SSI parameters via display entry have immediate effect.
Password for parameter enabling
Parameter entry on the AMS 304i can be protected with a password. With the AMS 304i, the password is determined via the PROFIBUS GSD file. Thus, the password cannot be changed by means of display entry.
To activate parameter enabling via the display (e.g., for changing an address), the password defined in the GSD file must be entered. If parameter enabling has been activated after successfully entering the password, parameters can temporarily be changed via the display.
After parameter enabling is deactivated, all changes made on the display are overwritten by the GSD file. Even a possibly newly assigned password. Only a changed address remains unchanged after entry via the display.
Notice!
The master password 2301 can enable the AMS 304i at any time.

9 PROFIBUS interface

9.1 General information on PROFIBUS

The AMS 304i is designed as a PROFIBUS DP device for cyclical (V0) as well as acyclic (V1) data exchange.
For this purpose the functionality of the laser is defined via GSD parameter sets. The max. baud rate of the data to be transferred is 12Mbit/s.
The PROFIBUS interface can be used parallel to the SSI interface. PROFIBUS and SSI interfaces are activated by default.
Notice!
The PROFIBUS interface can be activated/deactivated via the display. To activate / deactivate the interface, parameter enabling must be activated (see chapter 8.3.2). The respectively active interface is shown in the display; when PROFIBUS is activated, the address set is visible in the display.

Figure 9.1: PROFIBUS - Electrical connection
Notice!
For contacting BUS IN and BUS OUT, we recommend our ready-made PROFIBUS cable (see chapter 12.4.6 "Accessory ready-made cables for PROFIBUS").
Attention!
The laser measurement system can be used to branch out the PROFIBUS network. The continuing network is connected via BUS OUT.
If the laser measurement system is the last subscriber in the network, the BUS OUT connection must be connected to a terminator plug, see "Accessory terminating resistor" on page 106..

9.3 PROFIBUS address entry

Notice!
Basic operation of the control panel/display is described in chapter 8.2. To set the address parameter enabling must be activated. The display is inverted.
Attention!
The laser measurement system is deactivated on the PROFIBUS when parameter enabling is activated via the display. The device is reactivated on the PROFIBUS after parameter enabling is exited.

9.3.1 Entering the PROFIBUS addresses via the display

To do this proceed as follows:
Activate parameter enabling.
Select the PROFIBUS submenu.
Select the address menu item [ ].
Enter the PROFIBUS address of the laser measurement system; set to a value between
1 and 126 (default: 126).
Deactivate parameter enabling.

9.4 PROFIBUS GSD file

PROFIBUS interface

9.4.1 General information on the GSD file

If the AMS 304i is operated in a PROFIBUS network, configuration must be performed exclusively via the PROFIBUS. The functionality of the laser measurement system is defined via modules. The parameters and their functions are structured in the GSD file using module. A user-specific configuration tool is used during PLC program creation to integrate the required modules and configure them appropriately for the measurement application.
During operation of the laser measurement system on the PROFIBUS all parameters are set to default values. If these parameters are not changed by the user, the device functions using the default settings supplied by Leuze electronic. For the default settings of the device please refer to the following module descriptions.
Notice!
At least one module in the GSD file must be activated in the configuration tool for the control, usually the Position value module.

TNT 35/7-24V
Page 59
PROFIBUS interface
Notice!
Some controls make available a so-called "universal module". This module must not be activated for the AMS 304i.
Attention!
The AMS 304i makes available a PROFIBUS and an SSI interface. Both interfaces can be operated in parallel. If the AMS 304i is operated via the PROFIBUS, the SSI parameters must also be changed via the PROFIBUS SSI module if they differ from the default settings.
SSI parameters which are only changed via the display are overwritten by the PROFIBUS manager with the SSI (default) values stored in the GSD file.
Notice!
For test purposes parameters can be changed via the display on a laser measurement system operated on the PROFIBUS. As soon as parameter enabling is activated on the display, the device is deactivated on the PROFIBUS. All parameters set via PROFIBUS modules remain effective. Parameter changes can now be made via the display for test purposes. If parameter enabling is deactivated via the display, only the parameters set in the PROFIBUS modules and the PROFIBUS default settings are in effect.
Parameter changes made via the display are no longer in effect on the PROFIBUS!
Attention!
The laser measurement system does not permanently store parameters changed via the PROFIBUS. Following Power OFF/ON the currently configured parameters are downloaded by the PROFIBUS manager. If no PROFIBUS manager is available following Power OFF/ON, the parameters set on the display apply.
Notice!
All input and output modules described in this documentation are described from the controller's perspective:
Described inputs (I) are inputs of the control. Described outputs (O) are outputs of the control. Described parameters (P) are parameters of the GSD file in the control.
Notice!
The current GSD file for the AMS 304i can be found on our homepage under

The parameters for sign, unit, resolution, count direction and offset remain adjustable.
Parameters
Parameter Description Rel.
Output mode of the sign.
Sign
Measure­ment unit
Resolution
Count direction
Offset
Parameter length: 6 bytes
Sign affects position and velocity output. Selection of the measurement unit
The parameter applies to all values with measurement units. The parameter applies to all interfaces. Resolution of the position value applies only to the PROFIBUS output. The reso­lution does not apply to:
- Static preset
- Dynamic preset
- Offset
The SSI interface has a separate param­eter for the resolution.
Count direction positive:
0m
Counting direction negative:
0m
The parameter applies to all interfaces. The count direction changes the sign during velocity measurement. For the SSI interface, no negative position values can be transferred. In this case, the value 0 is output at the SSI interface. A suitable offset is to be selected so that only positive values are transferred.
Output value=measurement value+offset. The parameter applies to all interfaces. Attention: If the preset is activated, it has priority over the offset. Preset and offset are not offset against each other. The resolution of the offset value is inde­pendent of the resolution selected in module 1. The entered offset applies immediately without any further release.

Behavior of the AMS 304i on Laser ON/OFF:
If the laser light spot is positioned on the reflector when the laser diode is switched on, the AMS 304i returns valid measurement values after approx. 330ms.
If the laser light spot is not positioned on the reflector when the laser diode is switched on, the AMS 304i cannot calculate any distance values. If the laser beam hits the reflector at a later point in time while switched-on, the AMS 304i 200 returns valid measurement values after the following time span:
t = (measurement distance / 20m) sec.
Example: Corridor change of a high-bay storage device during which the laser diode
is not switched off while travelling around curves. Measurement distance 100m –> t = 5sec., measurement distance 200m –> t = 10sec.

9.4.3.10 Module 9: Error handling procedures
Description
The module makes parameters available to handle any errors should they occur.
In the event of a temporary error in the value/velocity calculation (e.g. plausibility error caused by light beam interruption) the laser measurement system transmits the last valid measurement value for a length of time xx which is to be configured.
If the configured time is exceeded, the error display or the faulty measurement value output is activated.
Parameters
Parameter Description Rel.
Specifies which position value is to be
Position value in the case of error
Suppress position status
Error delay (position)
Error delay time (posi­tion)
Velocity in the case of error
Suppress velocity status
output in the event of an error after the position suppression time has elapsed.
No function. 0.1 Bit Always 0 0 – Specifies whether the PLB status bit is
set immediately in the event of an error or if it is suppressed for the configured position suppression time.
Specifies in the event of an error whether the position value immediately outputs the value of the "position value in the case of error" parameter or outputs the last valid position value for the duration of the configured "error delay time".
Errors which occur are suppressed for the configured time. If no valid position value can be ascertained during the configured time, the last valid position value is output. If the error persists after the time elapses, the value stored in the "position value in the case of error" parameter is output. Specifies which velocity is to be output in the event of an error after the velocity suppression time has elapsed.
No function. 3.1 Bit Always 0 0 – Specifies whether the PLB status bit is

9.4.3.11 Module 10: Velocity
Description
Outputs the current velocity with the configured resolution. The unit (metric or inch) is set in module 1 (position value) and also applies to the velocity. If module 1 is not configured, the AMS 304i operates with the default unit (metric).
The sign of the velocity is dependent on the count direction in module 1d.
In the default setting a positive velocity is output when the reflector moves away from the AMS 304i. When the reflector moves towards the AMS 304i, negative velocities are output. If the "negative" count direction is configured in module 1, the velocity signs are reversed.
Measurement value preparation averages all velocity values calculated during the selected period to yield a velocity value.

9.4.3.12 Module 11: Static velocity limit value 1
Description
The static velocity limit value 1 function compares the current velocity with a velocity stored in the configuration. This occurs in the configured range, which is defined by range start and range end.
Notice!
If range start and range end are identical, velocity monitoring is not activated.
If a direction-dependent limit value check is activated via the direction selection parameter, the values of range start and range end also define the direction. The check is always performed from range start to range end. For example, if the range start is "5500" and the range end is "5000", the direction-dependent check is only performed in the direction from "5500" to "5000". The limit value is not active in the opposite direction.
If the check is independent of direction, the order of range start and range end is irrelevant. Depending on the selected switching mode, if the value is above or below the defined limits, the limit value status in module 16 is set and, if configured, the output is appropriately set via module 4 or 5.

9.4.3.18 Module 17: SSI interface
Description
The module defines the parameters for the SSI interface.
Attention!
The SSI interface can only represent posi tive distance values. If negative output values are ascertained due to the offset or count direction, a zero value is output at the SSI interface! In the event of a number overflow, all data bits are set to "1".
The unit, offset and count direction parameters of module 1 also apply to the SSI interface.
Notice!
If the SSI interface is not configured via module 17 (SSI interface) in PROFIBUS operation, the SSI interface is deactivated.
If the SSI interface is operated without PROFIBUS (PROFIBUS OFF/SSI ON), configuration is performed via the display.

The parameter defines the number of data bits.
The parameter defines the resolution of the SSI position value.
The parameter defines the update rate of the measurement values at the SSI inter­face. The measurement value is updated independent of the clock frequency.
Error bit off/on
The parameter defines the meaning of the error bit. If the error bit = OFF, no bit is attached to the data. The remaining bits 1 to 6 activate the various events which apply to the error bit. The bits are OR-linked to each other.
Overflow
Output value exceeds the maximum value which can be represented. In the event of an overflow, all data bits are set to 1.
Intensity (ATT)
If the intensity of the received signal is less than the warning threshold, the bit is set.

Specifies the password. Password protection must be on.
Defines a switch-on/switch-off range for the heating control. The extended switch-on/switch-off range for heating may provide relief in the event of con­densation problems. There is no guar­antee that no condensation will occur on the optics in the extended switch­on/switch-off range due to the limited heating capacity. This parameter is available as stan­dard, but functions only for devices with integrated heating (AMS 304i…H).

9.4.3.21 Module 20: free resolution
Description
Free resolution is used when the resolutions set in the standard are not appropriate. If a free resolution is used, it must be activated in module 10a.
Module 10a and module 1c must be set to configure the free resolution.
Parameters
Parameter Description Rel.
This module allows the output mea-

Parameter length: 4 bytes
surement values for position and veloc­ity to be freely scaled. The parameters apply to all interfaces for which the “free resolution” resolu­tion was selected. The internal mea­surement value is multiplied by the set value on the basis of (mm/1000). Example: Value “3000” means that in the event of a change in the measure­ment value by 3 mm, the position value in the binary code changes by binary 1. Due to the free resolution in the exam­ple, an internal measurement value of 3333mm gives an output value of “1111”. The resolution of the “Offset", "Preset" and "Limit values" parameters is not affected by free resolution.

10 SSI

10.1 Principle functionality of the SSI interface

Data communication of the SSI interface is based on differential transmission as used for RS 422 interfaces. Transmission of the position value, beginning with the MSB (most significant bit), is thus synchronised with a clock cycle (CLOCK) specified by the control.
In the quiescent state both the clock line as well as the data line are at HIGH level. At the first HIGH-LOW edge (point in figure 10.1) the data in the internal register are stored. Thus it is ensured that the data cannot change during serial transmission.
When the next clock signal change from LOW to HIGH level (point in figure 10.1) occurs transmission of the position value begins with the most significant bit (MSB). With each successive change of the clock signal from LOW to HIGH level the next least-significant bit is transmitted on the data line. After the least significant bit (LSB) has been output, the clock signal switches from LOW to HIGH for one last time and the data line switches to LOW level (end of transmission).
A monoflop retriggered by the clock signal determines the time span before the SSI interface can be called for the next transmission. This results in the minimum pause time between two successive clock cycles. If time tm = 20μs has elapsed, the data line is returned to the quiescent level (HIGH) (point in figure 10.1). This signals completed data communication and that the device is again ready for transmission.
Notice!
If the off-cycle of data transmission is interrupted for longer than t will begin with a completely new transmission cycle with a newly calculated value.
If a new transmission cycle is started before time t again.
has elapsed, the previous value is output

Attention!
The SSI interface can only represent positive distance values. I f negative output values are ascertained due to the offset or count direction, a zero value is output at the SSI interface! In the event of a number overflow, all data bits are set to "1".

Notice!
In the default setting the LSB bit is the error bit.
Attention!
Significance of the error bit:
By default a 25th error bit (LSB) is appended to the 24-bit measurement value. The error bit is not included in the Gray coding of the measurement value. The error bit is 1 = active, 0 = not active.
Notice!
The data can be read out with a clock rate between 80kHz and 800kHz.
Attention!
Updating the measurement values on the SSI interface of the AMS 304i:
The measurement value on the SSI interface of the AMS 304i is updated every 1.7ms (default) independent of the clock frequency. The update rate on the interface can be reduced to 0.2ms via the display under the SSI menu item or in PROFIBUS module 17. The shorter update rate is only valid for the SSI interface and has no influence on the PROFIBUS DP interface.

Only shielded and twisted pair lines (pin 1 with 2 and pin 3 with 4) are permitted as data lines for the SSI interface (see chapter 10.2 "SSI - Electrical connection").
The shielding must be connected at both ends.
Do not lay the cable parallel to power cables.
The maximum possible cable length is dependent on the cable used and the clock rate:
