SYNCFLG/TRIGBUSY output

Name	Description
SYNCFLG/TRIGBUSY output	In the internal/PDO synchronized mode, this output signal operates as SYNCFLG. This turns ON
	when measurement synchronization processing is executed by SYNC input and the state
	changes to one where normal measurement values can be output.
	In the external synchronous measurement mode, this output signal operates as TRIGBUSY. This
	turns ON while a measurement by TRIG input is being performed. The next TRIG input cannot
	be turned ON until this turns OFF.

STABILITY output

Name	Description
STABILITY output	Turns ON when the 1 surface is in the measuring range.

LOGSTAT output

Name	Description
LOGSTAT output	This turns ON while internal logging is in execution.

LOGERR output

Name	Description
LOGERR output	Turns ON when memory for Internal logging is full and the executes Internal logging.

TASKSTAT output

Name	Description
TASKSTAT output	This turns ON when the measurement value is finalized.

ZERO input

Name	Description
ZERO input	This is used to execute and clear a zero reset.

RESET input

Name	Description
RESET input	This resets all executing measurements and outputs.
	While a RESET is being input, judgment output conforms to the non-measurement setting.
	If this RESET input switches ON while the hold function is used, the state in effect before the
	hold function was set will be restored.

TIMING input

Name	Description
TIMING input	This timing input is for signal input from external devices. Use it for hold function timing.

LIGHT OFF input

Name	Description
LIGHT OFF input	Turns OFF the light for measurement.
	While LIGHT OFF is being input, the analog output and judgment output conform to the non-
	measurement setting.

LOGGING input

Name	Description
LOGGING input	This is used to start internal logging.

SYNC/TRIG input

Name	Description
SYNC input	This is used to synchronize imaging between multiple ZW. With external synchronous
	measurement mode selected, this signal works as TRIG input.
	For the following conditions, it performs as a SYNC input.
	• [Fieldbus] setting: When either [OFF] or [EtherNet/IP] is selected.
	• [Synchronous measurement mode] setting: When Internal/PDO synchronized mode is
	selected.

For the following conditions, it performs as a TRIG input.

•[Internal synchronous measurement mode] setting: When select [External synchronous measurement mode].

Important

When the Internal synchronous measurement mode is External synchronous measurement mode, updates each input signals by inputting the TRIG input signal. To be enabled each input signal, enter the TRIG input signal.

Example) When the filter setting value is 100μs (default value)

As an ON state persists for 100μs, an ON or OFF state of TIMING signal is detected. Therefore, a delay in the detection of TIMING signal occurs for a period of time equivalent to the set filter value.

Settings for Analog Output

The following describes the settings for outputting the current measurement results from the analog output of the analog output terminal block.

With analog output, the measurement results can be output converted to a current from 4 to 20 mA or a voltage from -10 to +10 V.

Selects which to output, the current or the voltage.

Important

The same output destination is set for all banks. The output destination cannot be set separately for individual banks.

Setting Monitor Focus

With analog output, the relationship between the output value and measured value to be displayed can be set as desired to convert the measurement result to 4 to 20 mA current or -10 to +10 V voltage before output. Set the focus to match the connected external device.

The output range can be set by entering the output value for the current or voltage values for any two points.

Example: When setting 4 mA output (1st point) for measured value of 0 mm and 20 mA output for measured value of 1 mm (2nd point) (current output)

Adjusting the analog output value

Discrepancies may occur between the current value/voltage value output as analog set on the Sensor Controller and the current value/voltage value actually measured due to the conditions for the connected external device or other factors.

The analog output adjustment function can be used to correct this discrepancy.

The output values are corrected by entering the adjustment value for the current or voltage values for any two points.

Important

Set the output destination and select either current or voltage output beforehand. Also, connect the analog output signal line to an external ammeter or voltmeter.
