The sensor is positioned so that of object under control should place in this working range. In addition, no foreign objects should be allowed to stay on the path of the incident and reflected laser radiation.
Where objects to be controlled have intricate shapes and textures, the incidence
of mirror component of the reflected radiation to the receiving window should be minimized.

Designation of cable wires is given in the table below:
10. Configuration parameters
The nature of operation of the sensor depends on its configuration parameters
(operation modes), which can be changed by transmission of commands through serial
port RS232 or RS485. The basic parameters are as follows:
10.1. Time limit for integration
Intensity of the reflected radiation depends on the surface characteristic of objects under control. Therefore, output power of the laser and the time of integration of
radiation incident onto the CMOS-array are automatically adjusted to achieve maximum
measurement accuracy.
Parameter "time limit for integration" specifies maximum allowable time of integration. If the radiation intensity received by the sensor is so small that no reasonable
result is obtained within the time of integration equal to the limiting value, the sensor
transmits a zero value.
RF605 [Revision 2.0] 10th January 2011 valid for sensors with serial numbers 11000 and higher
9
Triangulation Laser Sensors, RF605 Series
Note 1. The measurement frequency depends on the integration time of the re-
ceiving array. Maximum frequency (2 kHz) is achieved for the integration time ≤106 μs
(minimum possible integration time is 10 μs). As the integration time increases above
106 μs, the result updating time increases proportionally.
Note 2. Increasing of this parameter expands the possibility of control of lowreflecting (diffuse component) surfaces; at the same time this leads to reduction of measurement frequency and increases the effects of exterior light (background) on the measurement accuracy. Factory setting of the limiting time of integration is 3200 us.
Note 3. Decreasing of this parameter lets to increase measurement frequency,
but can decrease measurement accuracy.
10.2. Sampling mode
This parameter specifies one of the two result sampling options in the case
where the sensor works in the data stream mode:
Time Sampling;
Trigger Sampling.
With Time Sampling selected, the sensor automatically transmits the measurement result via serial interface in accordance with selected time interval (sampling period).
With Trigger sampling is selected, the sensor transmits the measurement result
when external synchronization input (IN input of the sensor) is switched and taking the
division factor set into account.
10.3. Sampling period
If the Time Sampling mode is selected, the ‗sampling period‘ parameter determines the time interval in which the sensor will automatically transmit the measurement
result. The time interval value is set in increments of 0.01 ms. For example, for the parameter value equal to 100, data are transmitted through bit-serial interface with a period
of 0,01*100 = 1 ms.
If the Trigger Sampling mode is selected, the ‗sampling period‘ parameter determines the division factor for the external synchronization input. For example, for the
parameter value equal to 100, data are transmitted through bit-serial interface when
each 100th synchronizing pulse arrives at IN input of the sensor.
Note 1. It should be noted that the ‗sampling mode‘ and ‗sampling period‘ para-
meters control only the transmission of data. The sensor operation algorithm is so built
that measurements are taken at a maximum possible rate determined by the integration
time period, the measurement results is sent to buffer and stored therein until a new result arrives. The above-mentioned parameters determine the method of the readout of
the result form the buffer.
Note 2. If the bit-serial interface is used to receive the result, the time required
for data transmission at selected data transmission rate should be taken into account in
the case where small sampling period intervals are used. If the transmission time exceeds the sampling period, it is this time that will determine the data transmission rate.
10.4. The point of zero
This parameter sets a zero point of absolute system of coordinates in any point
within the limits of a working range. You can set this point by corresponding command or
by connecting AL input to the ground line (this input must preliminarily be set to mode 3).
When the sensor is fabricated, the base distance is set with a certain uncertainty, and, if
necessary, it is possible to define the point zero more accurately.

10.5. Line AL operation mode
This line can work in one of the four modes defined by the configuration parame-
ter value:
mode 1: indication of run-out beyond the range ("0" – object is beyond the
range (beyond the selected window in the range), "1" – object is within the
range (within the selected window in the range);
mode 2: mutual synchronization of two or more sensors;
mode 3: hardware zero-set line;
mode 4: hardware laser switch OFF/ONN
In the "Indication of run-out beyond the range" mode, logical ―1‖ occurs on the
AL line if an object under control is located within the working range of the sensor (within
the selected window in the range), and logical "0" occurs if the object is absent in the
working range (within the selected window). For example, in such mode this line can be
used for controlling an actuator (a relay) which is activated when the object is present
(absent) within the selected range (Fig.4.1).
The "Mutual synchronization‖ mode makes it possible to synchronize measurement times of two and more sensors. It is convenient to use this mode to control one object with several sensors, e.g., in the measurement of thickness. On the hardware level,
synchronization of the sensor is effected by combining AL lines (Fig.4.2.).
In the "Hardware zero-set" mode connection AL input to the ground potential sets
beginning of coordinates into current point (Fig.4.3.).
In the "Hardware laser switch OFF/ONN' mode connection AL input to the
ground potential switch laser ON/OFF (Fig.4.3)
10.6. Time lock of the result
If the sensor does not find out object or if the authentic result cannot be received,
zero value is transferred. The given parameter sets time during which is transferred the
last authentic result instead of zero value.
10.7. Method of results averaging
This parameter defines one of the two methods of averaging of measurement results implemented directly in the sensor:

10.8. Number of averaged values/time of averaging
This parameter specifies the number of source results to be averaged for deriving the output value or time of the averaging .
The use of averaging makes it possible to reduce the output noise and increase
the sensor resolution.
Averaging over a number of results does not affect the data update in the sensor
output buffer.
In case of time averaging, data in the output buffer are updated at a rate equal to
the averaging period.
Note. Maximum parameters value is 127.
10.9. Factory parameters table
The sensors are supplied with the parameters shown in the table below:
The parameters are stored in nonvolatile memory of the sensor. Correct changing of the parameters is carried out by using the parameterization program supplied with
the sensor or a user program.
11. Description of RS232 and RS485 interfaces
11.1. RS232 port
The RS232 port ensures a ―point-to-point‖ connection and allows the sensor to
be connected directly to RS232 port of a computer or controller.
11.2. RS485 port
In accordance with the protocol accepted and hardware capability, the RS485
port makes it possible to connect up to 127 sensors to one data collection unit by a
common bus circuit.
11.3. Modes of data transfer
Through these serial interfaces measurement data can be obtained by two methods:
by single requests (inquiries);
by automatic data streaming (stream).
11.4. Configuration parameters
11.4.1. Rate of data transfer through serial port
This parameter defines the rate of data transmission via the bit-serial interface in
increments of 2400 bit/s. For example, the parameter value equal to 4 gives the transmission rate of 2400*4 = 9600 bit/s.

Note. The maximum transmission rate for RS232/RS485 interface is 460,8 kbit/s.
11.4.2. Net address
This parameter defines the network address of the sensor equipped with RS485
interface.
Note. Network data communications protocol assumes the presence of ‗master‘
in the net, which can be a computer or other information-gathering device, and from 1 to
127 ‗slaves‘ (RF60x Series sensors) which support the protocol.
Each ‗slave‘ is assigned a unique network identification code – a device address.
The address is used to form requests or inquiries all over the net. Each slave receive
inquiries containing its unique address as well as ‗0‘ address which is broadcast-oriented
and can be used for formation of generic commands, for example, for simultaneous
latching of values of all sensors and for working with only one sensor (with both RS232
port and RS485 port).
11.4.3. Factory parameters table
11.5. Interfacing protocol
11.5.1. Serial data transmission format
Data message has the following format:
11.5.2. Communication sessions types
The communications protocol is formed by communication sessions, which are
only initiated by the ‗master‘ (PC, controller). There are two kinds of sessions with such
structures:
1) ―request‖, [―message‖] — [―answer‖], square brackets include optional elements
2) ―request‖ — ―data stream‖ — [―request‖].
11.5.3. Request
―Request‖ (INC) — is a two-byte message, which fully controls communication
session. The ‗request‘ message is the only one of all messages in a session where most
significant bit is set at 0, therefore, it serves to synchronize the beginning of the session.
In addition, it contains the device address (ADR), code of request (COD) and, optional,
the message [MSG].
"Request" format:
11.5.4. Message
"Message‘‘ is data burst that can be transmitted by ‗master‘ in the course of the
session.
All messages with a "message" burst contain 1 in the most significant digit. Data
in a message are transferred in tetrads. When byte is transmitted, lower tetrad goes first,

begins with lower byte.
The following is the format of two ‗message‘ data bursts for transmission of byte:
11.5.5. Answer
"Answer‘‘ is data burst that can be transmitted by ‗slave‘ in the course of the session.
All messages with a message burst contain 1 in the most significant digit. Data in
a message are transferred in tetrads. When byte is transmitted, lower tetrad goes first,
and then follows higher tetrad. When multi-byte values are transferred, the transmission
begins with lower byte.
When ‗answer‘ is transmitted, the message contains:
SB-bit, characterizes the updating of the result. If SB is equal to "1" this
means that the sensor has updated the measurement result in the buffer, if
SB is equal to "0" - then non-updated result has been transmitted (see. Note
1, p.10.3.). SB=0 when parameters transmit;
two additional bits of cyclic binary batch counter (CNT). Bit values in the
batch counter are identical for all sendings of one batch. The value of batch
counter is incremented by the sending of each burst and is used for formation
(assembly) of batches or bursts as well as for control of batch losses in receiving data streams.
The following is the format of two ‗answer‘ data bursts for transmission of byte:
11.5.6. Data stream
‗Data stream‘ is an infinite sequence of data bursts or batches transmitted from
‗slave‘ to ‗master‘, which can be interrupted by a new request. In transmission of ‗data
stream‘ one of the ‗slaves‘ fully holds data transfer channel, therefore, when ‗master‘
produces any new request sent to any address, data streaming process is stopped. Also,
there is a special request to stop data streaming.
11.5.7. Request codes and list of parameters
Request codes and list of parameters are presented in Chapter 13.
12. Analog outputs
Changing of the signal at analog output occurs in synchronism with the changing
of the result transferred through the bit-serial interface
12.1. Current output 4…20 mA
The connection scheme is shown in the figure. The value of load resistor should
not be higher than 500 Ом. To reduce noise, it is recommended to install RC filter before the measuring instrument. The filter capacitor value is indicated for maximum sampling frequency of the sensor (9,4 kHz) and this value increases in proportion to the frequency reduction.

12.2. Voltage output
The connection scheme is shown in the figure. To reduce noise, it is recommended to install RC filter before the measuring instrument. The filter capacitor value is
indicated for maximum sampling frequency of the sensor (9,4 kHz) and this value increases in proportion to the frequency reduction.
12.3. Configuration parameters
12.3.1. Range of the analog output.
While working with the analog output, resolution can be increased by using the
‗Window in the operating range‘ function which makes it possible to select a window of
required size and position in the operating range of the sensor within which the whole
range of analog output signal will be scaled.
If the beginning of the range of the analog signal is set at a higher value than the
end value of the range, this will change the direction of rise of the analog signal.
Note. If the beginning of the range of the analog signal is set at a higher value
than the end value of the range, this will change the direction of rise of the analog signal.
12.3.2. Analog output operation mode.
When using ‗window in the operating range‘ function, this mode defines the analog output operation mode.
Analog output can be:
in the window mode or
in the full mode.
"Window mode". The entire range of the analog output is scaled within the selected window. Outside the window, the analog output is "0".
"Full mode". The entire range of the analog output is scaled within the selected
window (operating range). Outside the selected window, the whole range of the analog
output is automatically scaled onto the whole operating range of the sensor (sensitivity
range).

13.3. Notes
All values are given in binary form.
Base distance and range are given in millimeters.
The value of the result transmitted by a sensor (D) is so normalized that
4000h (16384) corresponds to a full range of the sensor (S in mm), therefore,
the result in millimeters is obtained by the following formula:
On special request (05h), the current result can be latched in the output buffer
where it will be stored unchanged up to the moment of arrival of request for
data transfer. This request can be sent simultaneously to all sensors in the net
in the broadcast mode in order to synchronize data pickup from all sensors.
When working with the parameters, it should be borne in mind that when
power is OFF the parameter values are stored in nonvolatile FLASH-memory
of the sensor. When power is ON, the parameter values are read out to RAM
of the sensor. In order to retain these changes for the next power-up state, a
special command for saving current parameter values in the FLASH-memory
(04h) must be run.
Parameters with the size of more than one byte should be saved starting
from the high-order byte and finishing with the low-order byte.

15.13. Functions for operation of sensors connected to FTDI-based
USB
To work with FTDI-based USB devices, this library supports functions operating through
D2XX library of FTDI. Performance of the functions is identical to that of the functions
used for operation through serial port, the main difference being the presence of FTDI_
prefix in the function name, for example: ―getting result‖ function for serial port is
RF60x_Measure while for FTDI USB devices it is RF60x_FTDI_Measure.
