1.3Description of functions AMS 308i
The AMS 308i 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 308
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 3xx

6.1General information
The AMS 308
All provided specifications for the AMS 308
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 308
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 37.
The reflective tapes are provided with a protective foil that can easily be pulled off. This must
be removed from the reflector before the complete system is put into operation.

6.2.4Specifications 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.

6.3Selecting 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 308
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 308
and the associated "wandering" of the light spot on the reflector.
i, the reflector size must accommodate any travel tolerances that may arise

…-S = Self-adhesive
…-M = metal plate
…-H = heating
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 2 m-long connection cable for supplying with 230V AC.
Connect the cable to the closest power outlet. Observe the current consumptions listed in
the specifications.
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 308
"Mounting the AMS 308i"). 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 308
Example:
If the AMS 308
the reflector is also on the top. If the AMS 308
on the side, the "TOP" label of the reflector is also on the side.

also specify the IP address of the server (host system) and
the port number on which the server (host system) accepts
a connection. In this case, the AMS 308i now determines
when and with whom a connection is established!
So that the device can determine whether the connection to
the host still exists, cyclical keep-alive messages are sent
which are answered by the host. This parameter defines the
time interval [ms] in which the keep-alive messages are
sent. Value 0 deactivates the sending of das keep-alive messages.

Each participant in this network requires its own unique IP address which must be assigned
to it via the display. Alternatively, the DHCP process can be used.
The maximum length of a segment is limited to 100 m.

Figure 9.3:Ethernet - Electrical connection
Notice!
For contacting BUS IN and BUS OUT, we recommend our ready-made Ethernet cable
(see chapter 11.4.5 "Accessory ready-made cables for Ethernet").
To set up an Ethernet network with other participants with linear topology, the AMS 308
makes available another Ethernet interface. The use of this interface reduces the cabling
requirements, as only the first AMS 308
participants can be connected in series to the first AMS 308
If you use user-configurable cables, note the following:

Notice!
The entire connection cable must be shielded. The shielding connection must be at the same
potential on both ends of the data line. This prevents potential compensating currents over
the shield and possible interference coupling by compensating currents. The signal lines
must be stranded in pairs.
Use CAT 5 cable for the connection.

TCP user data area
The Leuze binary protocol has a proprietary header. This is an integral part of the user data
and has the following functions:
•Transaction ID
The transaction ID enables the unique assignment of a query telegram to the AMS 308
to its answer.
A transaction ID is entered into the query telegram; this ID is also used in the answer
telegram. By simply increasing the transaction ID, continuous processing, for example,
can be ensured.
•Protocol ID
The identifier (0x4C31) is defined as the protocol ID for the AMS 308
The protocol ID remains unchanged for the binary protocol.
•Length
The number of the following user data bytes is entered. The TCP user data area is 2
bytes long in the case of a query telegram , and 6 or 8 bytes long in the answer telegram,
depending on the command.
