Ultrasonic sensor UB500-F54-I-V15
Synchronisation
The sensor features a synchronisation input for the suppression of mutual interference. If this input is not used, the sensor will
operate using an internally generated clock rate. The synchronisation of multiple sensors can be realised as follows:
External synchronisation:
The sensor can be synchronised by the external application of a square wave voltage. A synchronisation pulse at the synchronisation input starts a measuring cycle. The pulse must have a duration greater than 100 µs. The measuring cycle starts with
the falling edge of a synchronisation pulse. A low level > 1 s or an open synchronisation input will result in the normal operation
of the sensor. A high level at the synchronisation input disables the sensor.
Two operating modes are available:
1. Multiple sensors can be controlled by the same synchronisation signal. The sensors are synchronised.
2. The synchronisation pulses are sent cyclically to individual sensors. The sensors operate in multiplex mode.
Internal synchronisation:
The synchronisation connections of up to 5 sensors capable of internal synchronisation are connected to one another. When
power is applied, these sensors will operate in multiplex mode.
The response delay increases according to the number of sensors to be synchronised.
Synchronisation cannot be performed during TEACH-IN and vice versa. The sensors must be operated in an unsynchronised
manner to teach the evaluation limits.
Note:
If the option for synchronisation is not used, the synchronisation input has to be connected to ground (0V) or the sensor has to
be operated via a V1 cable connector (4-pin).
Adjusting the evaluation range (analogue output)
The ultrasonic sensor has an analogue output with programmable evaluation limits. These are set by applying the supply voltage -U
whether the sensor has recognised the target during the TEACH-IN procedure. The lower evaluation limit A1 is taught with UB, A2 with +UB.
Two different output functions can be set:
1. Analogue value increases with rising distance to object (rising ramp)
2. Analogue value falls with rising distance to object (falling rampe)
or +UB to the TEACH-IN input. The supply voltage must be applied to the TEACH-IN input for at least 1 s. LEDs indicate
