General information
1.3Description of functions AMS 355i
The AMS 355i 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 355i
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.

Notice!
Below, you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the AMS 355i.
Detailed explanations for the listed points can be found throughout the handbook.
3.1Mounting the AMS 355i
The AMS 355i and the corresponding reflector are mounted on two mutually opposing,
plane-parallel, flat walls.
Figure 3.1:Schematic illustration of mounting
Attention!
For error-free position measurement, there must be an unobstructed line-of-sight between
the AMS 355i and the reflector.
3.1.1Mounting the device
The laser is mounted on a vertical wall using 4 screws (M5).
Alignment is performed using 2 adjustment screws. Adjust so that the laser light spot is
positioned at the center of the reflector. The alignment is to be secured with the knurled nut
and locked with the M5 nut.
Further information can be found in chapter 5.2 and chapter 5.3.
3.1.2Mounting the reflector
The reflector is mounted on a vertical wall with 4 screws (M5). The reflector is angled using
the included shims. Incline the reflector by approx. 1°.
Detailed information can be found in chapter 6.4.

Fast commissioning / operating principle
3.2Connecting the voltage supply
The laser measurement system is connected using M12 connectors. The voltage supply is
connected via the PWR M12 connection.
Detailed information can be found in chapter 7.
3.3Display
Once the laser measurement system is supplied with voltage, the device status as well as
the measured position values can be read on the display. The display automatically switches
to the display of the measurement values.
Use the up/down buttons to the left of the display to read and change a wide range
of data and parameters.
Depending on connected interface, the network address must be configured via the display.
Detailed information can be found in chapter 8.
3.4AMS 355i on the DeviceNet
Install the EDS file corresponding to the AMS 355i … in your planning tool/the control
(e.g., RS network).
Notice!
You can find the EDS file at
The AMS 355i is configured in the planning tool/control by means of the EDS file. If the
AMS 355i has been assigned an address in the planning tool, the address is to be set on
the AMS 355i via the control panel/display. Only if the addresses are the same between the
AMS 355i and the control can communication be established.
After all parameters have been set in the planning tool/control, the download to the
AMS 355i takes place. The set parameters are now stored on the AMS 355i.
Afterwards, all AMS 355i parameters should be stored via upload in the control. This aids
in retaining the parameters during device exchanges, as they a re now also stored centrally
in the control.
Each time a connection is established between the control and the AMS 355i, these
parameters are now transferred again to the AMS 355i. Note that this function must be
supported by the control.
The DeviceNet baud rate is defined for the entire network in the planning tool/control.
The baud rate is set on the AMS 355i via the control panel/display.
Only if the baud rates are the same is communication with the AMS 355i possible.

5.2.2Parallel mounting of the AMS 355i
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 355i
The diameter of the light spot increases with distance.
Thus, the center-to-center spacing of the two AMS 355i 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 355i, it is necessary to distinguish
between three different arrangements of AMS 355i and reflectors.

The AMS 355i are mounted stationary and in parallel on one plane.
Both reflectors move independently of one another at different distances to the

Notice!
Please note that when the AMS 355i 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 355i.
5.2.3Parallel mounting of AMS 355i and DDLS optical data transmission
The optical data transceivers of the DDLS series and the AMS 355i 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 355i. The parallel spacing is independent
of the distance.

6.1General information
The AMS 355i measures distances against a reflective tape specified by Leuze electronic.
All provided specifications for the AMS 355i, 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.
6.2Description 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 355i 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 easily be p ulled off . This mus t
be removed from the reflector before the complete system is put into operation.

6.3Selecting 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 355i. For stationary mounting of the AMS 355i, 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 355i, the reflector size must accommodate any travel tolerances that may arise
and the associated "wandering" of the light spot on the reflector.
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.
6.4.2Mounting 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 355i… (see chapter 5.2
"Mounting the AMS 355i"). 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 355i.
Example:
If the AMS 355i 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 355i is mounted so that the M12 connections are
on the side, the "TOP" label of the reflector is also on the side.

The reflector must be angled. To do this, use the spacer sleeves. Angle the reflectors so that
the surface reflections of the foil seal are deflected to the left, right or upwards, chapter

spacers.

Reliable function of the AMS 355i and, thus, max. operating range and accuracy can only
be achieved with the reflective tape specified by Leuze electronic. No function can be guaranteed if other reflectors are used!

Press the ESC button twice to return to the Parameter menu.
Viewing and editing parameters
As long as parameter enabling is activated, the entire AMS 355i display is inverted.
As long as parameter enabling is activated, communication between control and AMS 355i
is interrupted. The continued networking via BUS OUT is retained.
Attention!
The Rockwell control offers the possibility of activating the Configuration Recovery function.
According to the criteria specified by Rockwell Automation, Configuration Recovery automatically downloads parameters to the AMS 355i. This results in parameters that were manually changed via the display being restored by the control to the configured AMS 355i data
from the EDS file. The parameters that were manually changed via the display are, thus, no
50AMS 355iLeuze electronic
Display and control panel AMS 355i
longer valid.
The address setting made on the AMS 355i for DeviceNet (MAC ID) is not affected by automatic changes.
Attention!
If the Configuration Recovery function is not activated, parameters set manually via the
display are activated the moment parameter enabling is again deactivated on the AMS 355i.
Notice!
If a password was stored, parameter enabling is not possible until this password is entered,
see "Password for parameter enabling" below.
Password for parameter enabling
Parameter entry on the AMS 355i can be protected with a password. With the AMS 355i,
the password is defined via the EDS file (class 100, instance 1). 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 EDS 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 EDS file (see above). If a new password has been assigned, this, too, is overwritten
by the password defined in the EDS file.
Notice!
The master password 2301 can enable the AMS 355i at any time.

Attention!
After DeviceNet specification (Volume 3: DeviceNet Adaptation of CIP Chapter 8, Physical
Layer 8-3.3 Connectors), use of the BUS OUT connection is not allowed.
The topologies presented here are enabled according to the directives of the ODVA.
On the respective ends of the trunk line (master line), the bus must be terminated with a 120
ohm terminating resistor. A cable specified by the ODVA is required for connecting the
participants to DeviceNet.
In addition to supplying the two signals for data transmission—CAN_L and CAN_H—the
DeviceNet cable also makes available two additional lines for supplying the network device
or bus transceiver.
52AMS 355iLeuze electronic
DeviceNet interface
Notice!
After specification by the ODVA, with the AMS 355i the bus transceivers are supplied via
the V+/V- cables present in the data line. Without this voltage supply, the participant cannot
be operated.
Only cables that satisfy the ODVA specifications may be used.
The limits of network expansion without repeater are specified by the ODVA. The specified
limit values are dependent on the design of the data line.
A distinction is made between "thick cable", "mid cable" and "thin cable".
DeviceNet installation
Up to 64 network devices can communicate with one another in a DeviceNet network with
baud rates of 125, 250 or 500 kBaud. In addition to the two signals for data transmission—
CAN-L and CAN-H—the DeviceNet cable also includes two cables for supplying the DeviceNet bus transceiver with 11 … 25V DC-volt. Without this V+/V- supply led in via the data
cable for the bus transceivers, the AMS 355i cannot be operated. The maximum length of
the DeviceNet cable is dependent on the selected cable type and baud rate. Installation in
the bus topologies is performed as shown in the above figure and with terminating resistors
at both ends.
Listed in the table are the max. network expansions as a function of the used data line
without repeater.

9.1.2Communication
EDS files (Electronic Data Sheet) are used for all CIP-based protocols. For the AMS 35xi
product series, these are the following protocols:
• EtherNet/IP
• DeviceNet
You can find the EDS file at
The EDS file includes all communication parameters of the participants as well as the available
objects. The DeviceNet communication tool reads the EDS files of the participants present in
the network and uses this information to calculate the configuration data that is subsequently
loaded onto the participants.
The input/output data is addressed according to the following fundamental scheme:
1.Device address (MAC ID)
The participant is addressed with its MAC ID, which is unique in the network.
2.Object class identifier (class)
Used as the basis for addressing the desired object class.
3.Object instance identifier (instance)
Addressing of the object instance within the object class.
4.Attribute identifier (attribute)
Addressing of the attribute within the object instance.
5.Service code (get, set, reset, start, stop and others...)
The maintenance code ultimately describes the type of access to the data, e.g.,
reading or writing.

Note!
In the specification, (DeviceNet Adaptation of CIP, Chapter 8, Physical Layer, 8-3-3
Connectors), the ODVA recommends connecting the AMS 355i by tapping the drop lines
(see figure 9.1). In this topology suggested by the ODVA, the BUS OUT connection remains
unused. If the AMS 355i is disconnected, the remaining participants can continue to be
Leuze electronicAMS 355i55
addressed in the network.
The BUS OUT connection still represents a full-fledged connection for an additional network
device. If the AMS 355i is disconnected from the bus, however, all participants connected
to BUS OUT are also not to be addressed in this case. For this reason, the ODVA recommends not using this typology.

bus transceiver. The current consumption of the AMS 355i at the supply lines for the bus
transceiver is max. 80mA at 11VDC.
When networking the bus data line to other participants via BUS OUT, ensure that the
maximum load of 1.4A is not exceeded. Use a suitable power supply unit to ensure the power
supply.
Notice!
For contacting BUS IN and BUS OUT, we recommend our ready-made DeviceNet cable
(see chapter 11.4.6 "Accessory ready-made cables for DeviceNet").
9.4DeviceNet address entry - MAC ID
Notice!
Basic operation of the display is described in chapter 8.2. To set the DeviceNet MAC ID,
parameter enabling must be activated. The display is inverted after enabling the parameters.
Attention!
The laser measurement system is deactivated on the DeviceNet after parameter enabling is
activated via the display. The device is reactivated on the DeviceNet after parameter enabling
is exited.
9.4.1Entering the MAC ID (address) via the display
To do this proceed as follows:
Activate parameter enabling.
Select the DeviceNet submenu.
Select the DeviceNet MAC ID (Address) menu item.
Enter the DeviceNet MAC ID between 0 and 63 (default: 63).
Save the DeviceNet MAC ID with Save.
Deactivate parameter enabling.

9.5EDS file - general info
An EDS file (Electronic Data Sheet) is provided for the AMS 355i.
The EDS file is named "AMS355i.eds"; the corresponding icon is named "AMS355i.ico"
Both files are available in the Download area of the Leuze website: www.leuze.com.
The EDS file contains all identification and communication parameters of the device, as well
as the available objects.
The AMS 355i is uniquely classified via a class 1 identity object (component of the
AMS355i.eds file) for the DeviceNet scanner (master).
The identity object contains, among other things, a manufacturer-specific vendor ID, as well
as an ID that describes the principle function of the participant.
The AMS 355i has the following identity object (class 1):

Vendor ID: 524
Device type: 34
Position sensor type: 8

The types of communication access to the data of the AMS 355i described by the ODVA:
•Polling
•Cyclic
• Combinations of polling and cyclic
are supported by the AMS 355i.
Attention!
Communication access via change of state is not implemented and must not be activated
in the network configuration.
If accepting the objects without change, all parameters are set to default values. The default
settings are shown in the objects described in detail in the "Default" column.
An assembly is activated by default in the EDS file. The assembly automatically communicates
its inputs and outputs to the control. Further information on the assemblies can be found in
chapter 9.6.5 and chapter 9.6.1.
Attention!
The Rockwell control offers the possibility of activating the
Configuration Recovery
function.
This stores the parameters defined in the EDS file in the control. If necessary, an automatic
parameter download from the control to the AMS 355
i
takes place.
Leuze electronic recommends activating "Configuration Recovery". This stores all
parameters in the control.

If parameters are changed, the changes can be immediately reversed with the
automatic parameter download (Configuration Recovery activated) after deactivating
parameter enabling in the AMS 355i.
Attention!
If the "Configuration Recovery" is not activated, the parameters changed via the display
are valid. The parameters are not automatically overwritten.
The parameters stored in the control can still be manually downloaded.
Notice!
In the following tables, all attributes marked in the "Access" column with "Get" in the
individual objects are to be understood as inputs of the scanner (control). E.g., "Read position
value" --> Class 35; instance 1; attribute 10.
Attributes marked in the "Access" column with "Set" represent outputs or parameters.
Outputs are set, e.g., "Laser off"--> Class 35; instance 1; attribute 110.
Parameters are also marked with "Set" and are written to the AMS. E.g., "Change of position

outputs the value of attribute 1 (0 or last valid value) or the last valid position value for the
configured error delay time (attribute 4).
Errors that 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
continues after the time elapses, the value configured in the "Position value in the case of
error" attribute (attribute 1) is output. The error delay time is specified in milliseconds [ms]
and must be a value between 100 and 1000.
9.6.7.5 Velocity in the case of error
Attribute 5
The attribute specifies which velocity is transmitted in the case of an error after the "error
delay time - velocity" elapses.
0 = last valid value
1 = value 0
9.6.7.6 Error delay - velocity status
Attribute 6
The attribute specifies whether the PLB status bit (implausible measurement value) is set
immediately or after the "error delay time - velocity" elapses.
0 = PLB status bit is set immediately
1 = PLB status bit is set with a delay
9.6.7.7 Error delay - velocity
Attribute 7
The attribute specifies whether—in the case of an error—the velocity value immediately
outputs the value of attribute 5 (0 or last valid value) or the last valid velocity value for the
configured error delay time (attribute 8).
Errors that occur are suppressed for the configured time. If no valid velocity value can be
ascertained during the configured time, the last valid velocity value is output. If the error
continues after the time elapses, the value configured in the "Velocity in the case of error"
attribute (attribute 5) is output. The error delay time is specified in milliseconds [ms] and must
be a value between 200 and 1000.

9.6.8.1 Velocity limit value - enable
Attribute 1
The attribute activates the respective velocity monitoring.
0 = not active
1 = active
9.6.8.2 Velocity limit value - switching type
Attribute 2
The attribute specifies whether a check should be performed to determine whether the
velocity limit value is exceeded or not met (attributes 3 and 4).
0 = check whether value is exceeded
1 = check whether value is not met
9.6.8.3 Velocity limit value - direction selection
Attribute 3
The attribute specifies whether the velocity check is to be direction dependent or direction
independent.
If a direction-dependent limit value check is activated via attribute 2, 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.
If the value is exceeded or not met, the limit value status (attribute 7) and, if applicable, the
output are set via class 103, instance 1 or 2, attribute 3 depending on the selected switching
mode.
0 = direction independent
1 = direction dependent
9.6.8.4 Velocity limit value - velocity limit value
Attribute 4
The limit value configured in attribute 3 is compared to the measured ACTUAL velocity. The
entry is made in mm/s or inch/100 s.
9.6.8.5 Velocity limit value - velocity hysteresis
Attribute 5
Attribute 4 describes the switching hysteresis for the value entered in attribute 3 to prevent
bouncing of the signal. The entry is made in mm/s or inch/100s.
80AMS 355iLeuze electronic
9.6.8.6 Velocity limit value - limit value range start
Attribute 6
The limit value is monitored beginning at this position. The value is specified in mm or inch/100.
If the values for range start and range end are the same, velocity monitoring is not activated.
9.6.8.7 Velocity limit value - limit value range end
Attribute 7
The limit value is monitored beginning at this position. The value is specified in mm or inch/100.
If the values for range start and range end are the same, velocity monitoring is not activated.
9.6.8.8 Velocity limit value - limit value status
Attribute 8
The attribute signals that the configured limit values have been exceeded.
9.6.8.9 Velocity limit value - limit value comparison
Attribute 9
The attribute indicates whether the respective velocity limit value is compared with the
configured limit value.
0 = comparison inactive
1 = comparison active
