Receiving optics
Laser with expansion optics
The zero point of the coordinate system is the intersection
of optical axis and front edge of
the housing.
3.1 Generation of 2D profiles
Light section sensors work according to the triangulation principle. Using transmission
optics a laser beam is expanded to a line and aimed at an object. The light remitted by the
object is received by a camera, which consists of receiver optics and the CMOS area
detector.
Operating principle

Figure 3.1: Light section sensor design
Depending on the distance of the object the laser line is projected to a different position on
the CMOS planar detector as shown in Figure 3.1. By means of this position the distance
of the object can be calculated.
Leuze electronic LPS 36 14
TNT 35/7-24V
3.2 Limits of light section sensors
Laser occlusionReceiver occlusion
In the red areas the laser does not
strike the object. Thus it is not possible to determine any data here.
The receiver does not "see" any object contours in the
red area because they are obscured by the upper right
edge of the object.
When the object is shifted to the left the object contour will still be detected by the laser but the laser line
does not lie within the receiver's field of view at that
point, and therefore no measurement values can be
detected.
3.2.1 Occlusion
The detection of high and wide objects from just one point poses the particular problem
that depending on the object contour, parts of the object may be obscured by others. This
effect is called occlusion.
The Figure 3.2 illustrates the problem:

Possible measure against laser occlusion
• Using multiple Light section sensors with rotated
viewing direction. In the application example on
the right you can clearly see that the fields of vision
of the three sensors complement each other and
merge. The first of the sensors is operated as a
master, the two others are cascaded (see "Cascading" on page 22). This reliably prevents mutual
interference of the sensors.
Possible measures against receiver occlusion
• Alignment of the measurement objects so that all profile data to be measured can be
seen by the receiver.
Or:
• Installing a second sensor featuring a viewing
direction rotated by 180° about the z-axis so that
the objects can be viewed from 2 sides.
In the example to the right, the left sensor detects
the profile data on the left side of the product, and
the right sensor the profile data on the right side.
In this situation the second sensor is then cascaded. See "Cascading" on page 22.

Typical resolution in mm
In this context resolution means the smallest possible change in distance of the measurement object, which causes a unique change of the output signal. Resolution is higher in the
short range than in the distant range. Small objects can be recognized better in the short
range.
The length of the laser line in the X-direction is dependent on the distance Z of the measurement object from the sensor . Always the same number of measurement points is measured.
From this it follows that the resolution in X-direction decreases with increasing distance in
Z-direction.
The following illustration shows this relation:

The output resolution of the measurement values on the process interface is 1/10mm with
Standard-Connect, 1/100mm with HI-Connect (only with LPS 36HI/EN).

various sizes and positions are to be measured
or detected, the LPS sensor is used. 3D data are
provided reliably due to precise 2D profile
measurements in connection with mobile scanning. Thus numerous application possibilities
are available to determine positions, surfaces
and contents.

4.2.1 Connection to PC / process control
Configuration
For commissioning the Light section sensors are connected to a PC via the Ethernet interface (see "Connection X2 - Ethernet" on page 36) and are then set using the configuration
software supplied LPSsoft.
Measurement operation
In measurement operation the Light section sensors are connected to a process control via
the same X2 interface, and communicate with it via Ethernet (UDP), see chapter 10 "Integrating the LPS in the process control (Ethernet)".
4.2.2 Activation - laser on/off
The laser and the data transmission can selectively be switched on and off via the activation
input InAct (pin 2 at X1) or via the 'Ethernet Trigger' command. Thus possible glares due
to laser radiation can be prevented during time periods when no measurements are
performed.
Note!
The sensor is delivered ex works with the Activation Input Disregard setting. The
possible activation sources (activation input and Ethernet activation) are ignored - the measurement function of the sensor is enabled.
The activation function can be switched on via the configuration software. To do this, the
Activation Input parameter must be set to Regard. The sensor then only measures if
one of the activation sources is activated. If the sensor is waiting for activation, it displays
!Act
in the display.

4.2.3 Triggering - Free Running
The Light section sensors can measure in two modes:
• In "Free Running" operation the Light section sensor determines measurement results
with a frequency of 100Hz and outputs these continuously via the interface X2.
• Alternatively, single measurements can also be carried out. For this purpose, the Light
section sensor requires either a trigger signal at the trigger input (pin 5 on X1) or the
Ethernet Trigger command in measure mode (see Chapter 10.3.4"Commands in
measure mode" on page 91).
When triggering via pin 5 at X1, note:
- Triggering occurs on the rising edge.
-The trigger pulse must be at least 100μs long.
- Before the next trigger, the trigger cable must be on low-level for at least 1 ms.
- Activation must occur at least 100μs before the trigger edge.
- The shortest possible time interval between two successive trigger edges is 10ms.
Note!
Ex works, the LPS is set to Free Running (shown on display:

Figure 4.4: Signal sequence for cascading
Figure 4.5: Cascading application example
If several Light section sensors are operated, there is the risk of mutual interference
if the reflected laser beam of one sensor can
be received by the receiver of another
sensor at the time of reading.
This can easily be seen in Figure 4.5. Here
three Light section sensors are used to
determine the log thickness reliably from all
sides.
To prevent mutual interference the Light
section sensors can be operated cascaded: the exposure by the second sensor will be initi-
Leuze electronic LPS 36 22
ated following completion of the exposure by the first sensor. To achieve this, the cascading
output of the first sensor must be connected to the trigger input of the second sensor. Up
to 6 sensors can thus be operated cascaded.

5.3 Device arrangement
5.3.1 Selecting a mounting location
In order to select the right mounting location, several factors must be considered:
• The required resolution. This is a result of the distance and the resulting line length.
• The permissible cable lengths between the LPS and the host system depending on
which interface is used.
• The display and control panel should be very visible and accessible.
When selecting a mounting location, pay further attention to:
• Maintaining the required environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
• Possible soiling of the optics covers on transmitter and receiver by discharged liquids,
abrasion from cartons or packaging residues.
• Lowest possible chance of damage to the LPS by mechanical collision or jammed
parts.
• Possible extraneous light (no direct sunlight or sunlight reflected by the measurement
object).
• The optimal perspective for detecting the relevant contours of objects, see
chapter 3.2.1 "Occlusion".
Attention, laser radiation!
When mounting and aligning the LPS, avoid reflections of the laser beam off reflective surfaces!
Note!
The prevention of ambient light due to shielding of the sensor for example, ensures stable
and precise measurement values. Secondary reflections of the laser line on reflective objects
must be avoided as these can result in faulty measurements.
The best measurement results are obtained when:
Installation and mounting
- You adapt the operating mode (light/dark) to the application
- You do not measure high-gloss objects.
- There is no direct sunlight.
5.3.2 Aligning the sensor
The zero point of the sensor coordinate system is the intersection of optical axis and front
edge of the housing. The general principle is that the Light section sensor should be aligned
so that the back of the sensor is aligned parallel to the conveying belt or measuring plane.
A rotation about the y-axis is undesirable as this then necessitates a coordinate transformation of the measurement values.
The Figure 5.6 illustrates the problem:
