Product description

The pico+sensor offers a non-contact
measurement of the distance to an
object which must be positioned
within the sensor’s detection zone.
The switched output is set condi­tional upon the adjusted detect dis­tance.
Via the Teach-in procedure, the de­tect distance and operating mode
can be adjusted. Two LEDs indicate
operation and the state of the swit­ched output.
The pico+sensors are IO-Link-capable
in accordance with IO-Link specifica­tion V1.0.

Operating modes

Three operating modes are available
for the switched output:

 Operation with one detect point

The switched output is set when the
object falls below the set detect
point.

 Window mode

The switched output is set when the
object is within the set window.

 Two-way reflective barrier

The switched output is set when the

object is between sensor and fixed
reflector.

Synchronisation

If under multiple sensor operation
the assembly distance falls below the
values shown in Fig. 2, the internal
synchronisation should be used. For
this purpose set the switched out­puts of all sensors in accordance with
the diagram »Sensor adjustment
with the Teach-in procedure«. Then
change the multi-function output
»Com« to »synchronisation« (see
»Further settings«). Finally intercon­nect each pin 5 of the sensors to be
synchronised.

Fig. 2: Assembly distances

Maintenance

microsonic sensors are maintenance­free. In case of excess caked-on dirt
we recommend cleaning the white
sensor surface

Notes

 The sensors of the pico+ family

have a blind zone, within which a
distance measurement is not pos­sible.

 The pico+ sensors are equipped

with an internal temperature com­pensation. Due to the sensors self
heating, the temperature compen­sation reaches its optimum work­ing-point after approx. 20 minutes
of operation.

 In the normal operating mode, an il-

luminated yellow LED signals that the
switched output is switched
through.

 The pico+sensors have a push-pull

switched output.

 In the »Two-way reflective barrier«

operating mode, the object has to
be within the range of 0-85 % of
the set distance.

detection zones

The dark grey areas represent the zone

where it is easy to recognise the normal

reflector (round bar). This indicates the typical

operating range of the sensors. The light

grey areas represent the zone where a

very large reflector – for instance a
plate – can still be regognized. The

requirement here is for an optimum

alignment to the sensor. It is not

for different objects:

possible to evaluate ultrasonic

reflections outside this area.

■ In the »Set detect point – method
A« Teach-in procedure the actual
distance to the object is taught to
the sensor as the detect point. If
the object moves towards the
sensor (e.g. with level control) then
the taught distance is the level at
which the sensor has to switch the
output.

 If the object to be scanned moves

into the detection area from the
side, the »Set detect point +8 % –
method B« Teach-in procedure
should be used. In this way the
switching distance is set 8 % fur­ther than the actual measured dis­tance to the object. This ensures a

If synchronization is activated the



Teach-in is disabled (see »Further
settings«).

 The sensor can be reset to its fac-

tory setting (see »Further set­tings«).

 Using the LinkControl adapter (op-

tional accessory) and the LinkCon­trol software for Windows, all
Teach-in and additional sensor pa­rameter settings can be optionally
undertaken.

IO-Link mode

The pico+ sensors are IO-Link-capa­ble in accordance with IO-Link speci­fication V1.0.

Pointer

 In IO-Link mode Teach-in, Link-

Control and synchronization via
pin 5 are not available.

 In IO-Link mode pin 5 must not be

connected to any potential.

 For current information about IO-

Link please contact the microsonic
sales department.

Synchronisation in IO-Link mode

In IO-Link mode each sensor is syn­chronized on the protocol of the IO­Link master.
In multiple sensor operation the sen­sors are synchronous if the master
protocols are synchronous.

Process data

The pico+ cyclically transmits the
measured distance value with a reso­lution of 0,1 mm and the state of

the switched output.

Service data

The following sensor parameters
may be set via IO-Link interface using
the IO-Link device description (IODD).

Detect point 1

The switched output is activated
when the distance to an object is un­der that of the present detect point.

Return detect point 1

The switched output is reactivated
when the distance to an object is
greater than the present return de­tect point (detect point + hysteresis).

Pointer

 The return detect point 1 must al-

ways be greater than the detect
point 1.

Detect point 2, return detect point 2
By programming these two detect
distances the window mode is acti­vated.

Pointer

 The return detect point 2 must al-

ways be smaller than the detect
point 2.

NOC/NCC operation

The NCC or NOC output function can
be present for the switched output.

Measurement filter

pico+ ultrasonic sensors provide for a
choice of 3 filter settings:

 F00

No filter, each ultrasonic measure­ment acts in an unfiltered manner
on the output.

 F01

Standard filter, on the object con­tinuously approaching the sensor,
the ongoing interval is immediate­ly taken on and the output
correspondingly activated. The ef­fect of the object abruptly moving
away from the sensor is for the
existing distance to be saved for a
retaining time dependent on the
filter strength and for the switched

output state to be maintained.

 F02

Average value filter, forms the
arithmetic mean across a number
of measurements. The output is
activated in keeping with the ave­rage value. The number of measu­rements, from which the average
value is formed, depends on the
selected filter strength.

Filter strength

A filter strength between 0 – weak
filter effect – and 9 – pronounced fil­ter effect – can be selected for each
measurement filter.

Foreground suppression

Spurious reflections, caused by ob­jects in the foreground of the sensor
may be blocked out by the fore­ground suppression.

Pointer

 Check that the object in the fore-

ground does not cause multiple
reflections.

 The object in the foreground must

not cover the sensor in a way that
the detection zone is influenced.

System commands

With 4 system commands the follo­wing settings may be carried out:

 Teach-in detect point – method A.
 Teach-in detect point – method B.
 Teach-in two way reflective barrier.
 Reset sensor to factory settings.

Pointer

To achieve the maximum resolution
the Master Cycle Time has to comply
with the following requirements:



Min Cycle Time ≤ Master Cycle
Time ≤ Min Cycle Time + 1.2 ms.

 If this condition can not be full-

filled, sporadic discontinuities of
the measurement value can occur.
In this case the Master Cycle Time
has to be increased in 400 µs steps
until the discontinuities of the
measurement disappear.

Pointer

 If the pico+ sensor was set using

Teach-in or LinkControl it is re­commended to reset the sensor
to the factory setting prior to
using it in IO-Link mode (s.
»Further settings«).
