General information

1.3 Description of functions AMS 358i

The AMS 358i 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 358i
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.

3.1 Mounting the AMS 358i

The AMS 358i 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 358i and the reflector.

3.1.1 Mounting 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.

3.1.2 Mounting the reflector

The reflector is available both as self-adhesive tape and pre-mounted on a metal plate. The
reflector on a metal plate is mounted on a vertical wall with 4 screws (M5). The reflector is
angled using the included shims. Incline the reflector by approx. 1°.

The self-adhesive tape is mounted in the same way, the metal plate must be provided for
it on-site.

Module" is created for the AMS 358i under the "Communication" path.

14 AMS 358i Leuze electronic

Fast commissioning / operating principle

The input mask for the Generic Module describes:

• The name of the participant (can be selected freely; e.g., AMS358i_1).

• The format of the I/O data (Data - DINT = 32bit).

• The IP address of the participant.

• The address and length of the input assembly (instance 1; 1 x 32 bit for the default input
assembly of the measured-value data).

• The address and length of the output assembly (instance 120; 2 x 32 bit for the default
output assembly).

• Optional: The address and length of the configuration assembly (instance 190;
102 x 8bit).

I

Figure 3.2: Input mask generic module

Attention!

If the configuration assembly is addressed with instance 190 and length 102 in the input mask
for the generic module, all AMS 358i parameters with the value 0 are occupied in the first
moment. All default parameters of the AMS manual must be entered in the configuration
assembly. Changing the individual default values is possible at any time.

For the exact description of the assemblies for input/output and configuration, please refer
to chapter 9.10.

The query cycle of the input and output assemblies is subsequently defined in the "Module
Properties - Connection" path in the "Request Packet interval (RPI)" input field.

The participant is thereby defined in offline mode; the data must subsequently be transferred
to the control.

Configure the config assembly

The AMS 358i makes available a configuration assembly that allows the entire parameter
set of the AMS 358i to be saved in the control and, if necessary, to be called up.

The config assembly must include all parameters that affect the AMS 358i. The config
assembly is automatically written to the connected participants in cycles that the control
manufacturer defines.

The config assembly is implemented in class 4, under instance 190. By default, all
parameters are preset to the value 0 (zero).

Attention!

If the config assembly is not adapted, the AMS 358i displays a corresponding behavior acc.
to the parameters preset with 0.

 Switch the control to offline mode.

 Double-click Controller Tags to edit the configuration assembly.

The configuration assembly can be recognized by the index "C" appended to the device
name.

Parameter entry is performed as described in chapter 9.10.1.5.

Attention!

Activation of the config assembly as described above necessitates value entry in the
corresponding parameter memory locations. When using the configuration assembly, the
default parameters must also be entered in the corresponding memory locations (see also
chapter 9.10.1.5.).

After all of the parameters relevant to the AMS 358i are entered, the control is switched to
"online" and the project is downloaded again.

Using explicit messaging services

Explicit messaging services (e.g., "get attributes …, set attribute …, and others) can be used
to acyclically access all data of the AMS 358i

Attention!

If parameters are changed via explicit messaging services while simultaneously activating a
configuration assembly, the changed parameters must subsequently be entered in the
configuration assembly.

5.2 Mounting the AMS 358i

Figure 5.2: Mounting the device

The AMS 358i 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 358i 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.

22 AMS 358i Leuze electronic

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.

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 358i

The diameter of the light spot increases with distance.

Max. measurement dis­tance
Light spot diameter ≤ 40mm ≤ 100mm ≤ 150mm ≤ 225 mm

Thus, the center-to-center spacing of the two AMS 358i 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 358i, it is necessary to distinguish
between three different arrangements of AMS 358i and reflectors.

40m 120m 200m 300m

The AMS 358i are mounted stationary and in parallel on one plane. Both reflectors move independently of one another at different distances to the AMS 358i.

Minimum parallel spacing X of the two laser light spots:

X = 100mm + (max. measurement distance in mm x 0.01)

The AMS 358i are mounted stationary and in parallel on one plane. Both reflectors move in parallel at the same distance to the AMS 358i.

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

Leuze electronic AMS 358i 25

TNT 35/7-24V

Installation and mounting

The reflectors are mounted stationary and in parallel on one plane.
Both AMS 358i move independently of one another at different or the same dis­tances to the reflectors.

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

Notice!

Please note that when the AMS 358i 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 358i.

5.2.3 Parallel mounting of AMS 358i and DDLS optical data transmission

The optical data transceivers of the DDLS series and the AMS 358i 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 100 mm to the AMS 358i. The parallel spacing is independent
of the distance.

5.3 Mounting the AMS 358i 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 100.

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 358i 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 error-

free position measurement, there must be an interruption-free line-of-sight between the
AMS 358i… 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.
