4. STRUCTURE AND OPERATING PRICIPLE

Operation of the sensors is based on the principle of optical triangulation (Figure 1.)
Radiation of a semiconductor laser 1 is focused by a lens 2 onto an object 6. Radiation reflected by
the object is collected by a lens 3 onto a linear CMOS array 4. A signal processor 5 calculates the
distance to the object from the position of the light spot on the array 4.

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. In addition, no foreign
objects should be allowed to stay on the path of the incident and reflected laser radiation.

TRIANGULATION LASER SENSORS, RF603 Series

8. OPERATION MODES AND CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS.

8.1. Measurement data from sensors can be obtained through serial interface and/or on the ana-

log output. Through the serial interface measurement data can be obtained by both single requests
(inquiries) and by automatic data streaming (see Section 9, ‘Description of serial interface’). When
RS485 or CAN interfaces are used, several sensors can be connected to the data collection device
through ‘common bus’ circuit (network operation mode).

8.2. The nature of operation of the sensor governs its configuration parameters (operation

modes), which can be changed by transmission of commands through serial port. The basic parame­ters are as follows:

Sampling period — specifies the time interval (internal synchronization) or divider ratio of the

trigger synchronization input for automatically refreshment of measurement results by the sensor.
The value of the time interval is set in increments of 0.01 ms. If serial interface is used to receive
the result and the time intervals set are small, the time required for data transmission at the selected
data transfer rate should be taken into account. If the transfer time exceeds the sampling period, it
wills this parameter, which will determine the data transfer rate.

Sampling mode — specifies the type of sampling

- Time Sampling or

- Trigger Sampling

With sampling by time selected, the sensor automatically transmits the measurement result via

serial interface in accordance with selected time interval (sampling period).

With sampling by external input is selected, the sensor transmits the measurement result when

external synchronization input is switched and taking the division factor set into account.

Range of the analog output (beginning and end of the range of 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.

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. Out-

side 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).

Logical output mode and mutual synchronization mode.
Logical output can be used for

- 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)

- mutual synchronization of two or more sensors.

Selection of the mutual synchronization mode makes it possible to synchronize measurement
times of two and more sensors. This mode is convenient to use for control of one object with sev­eral sensors, for example, when thickness is to be measured. On hardware level, sensor synchroni­zation is carried out by combining AL lines.

TRIANGULATION LASER SENSORS, RF603 Series

Time of 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

Number of averaged values specifies the number of source results to be averaged for deriving

the output value. Source data are stored in a circular buffer, and new mean value is calculated each
time the new result arrives; therefore, the output may regarded as a moving average.

The refreshment of the result through the analog output is also controlled by the two parameters

described above.

Time limit for integration. Intensity of the reflected radiation depends on the surface quality of

objects under control. Therefore, the time of integration of radiation incident onto the CMOS-array
is automatically adjusted to achieve maximum measurement accuracy. This parameter 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. Increasing of this parameter expands the possibility of control of low­reflecting (diffuse component) surfaces; at the same time this leads to reduction of data refreshment
rate and increases the effects of exterior light (background) on the measurement accuracy. Factory
setting of the limiting time of integration is 3200 us.

Level of laser output power. By changing this parameter it is possible to switch the sensor to

operation with minimum limiting time of integration (maximum operation speed) for particular sur­faces.

The point of zero - 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 and by connecting AL
input to the ground line (regime #3 of the line).

The reserved parameters are used for the sensors setting. Change of these parameters can

lead to infringement of sensor calibration. Correct change of parameters is made with the help of
the installation program supplied with the sensor.

9. DESCRIPTION OF SERIAL INTERFACE (RS232 or RS485)

9.1. The hardware port RS232 allows sensor to be connected directly to a computer.

9.2. 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.

9.3. 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’ (RF603 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).

9.4. Serial data transmission format:

1-start bit,8-data bits,1-odd bit,1-stop bit.

Odd bit is complementary to 8-data bits for oddness.

9.5. The communications protocol is formed by communication sessions, which are only initi-

ated by the ‘master’. There are two kinds of sessions:

1) ‘inquiry’,[‘message’] — [‘answer’], square brackets include optional elements

2) ‘inquiry’ — 'data stream’ — [‘inquiry’].

‘Inquiry’ (INC) is a two-byte message, which fully controls communication session. The ‘inquiry’
message is the only one of all messages in a session where most significant bit is set at 0; therefore,

Rev. F (14.09.2009)

Page 6/25
RIFTEK, Republic of Belarus, Minsk, tel./fax: [phone] Е-mail: [e-mail], http:// www.riftek.com

TRIANGULATION LASER SENSORS, RF603 Series

it serves to synchronize the beginning of the session. In addition, it contains the device address
(ADR), code of inquiry (COD) and, optional, the message (MSG).

The ‘inquiry’ format: INC0(7:0),INC1(7:0) = 0,ADR(6:0),1,0,0,0,COD(3:0), [MSG].

‘Message’ and ‘answer’ are data bursts that can be transmitted by ‘master’ or by ‘slave’ in the
course of the session, respectively. ‘Data stream’ is an infinite sequence of data bursts or batches
transmitted from ‘slave’ to ‘master’, which can be interrupted by a new inquiry. In transmission of
‘data stream’ one of the ‘slaves’ fully holds data transfer channel, therefore, when ‘master’ pro­duces any new inquiry sent to any address, data streaming process is stopped. Also, there is a spe­cial inquiry to stop data streaming.

9.6. Message transfer.

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. The follow­ing is the format of two ‘message’ data bursts for transmission of byte DAT(7:0):

Dt0(7:0);Dt1(7:0) = 1,0,0,0,DAT(3:0);1,0,0,0,DAT(7:4).

9.7. Answer transfer (for the 01h…04h enquiry codes).

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 three 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 DAT(7:0):

Dt0(7:0);Dt1(7:0) = 1,CNT(2:0),DAT(3:0);1,CNT(2:0),DAT(7:4).

NOTE:

1) All values are given in binary form.

2) Base distance and range are given in millimeters.

3) 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:

X=D*S/4000h (mm). (1)

4) On special inquiry (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 inquiry can
be sent simultaneously to all sensors in the net in the broadcast mode in order to synchronize data
pickup from all sensors.

5) 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.

6) 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

10. DESCRIPTION OF CAN INTERFACE

10.1. The sensor equipped with CAN 2.0B port supports data exchange using standard frames

(with 11-bit identifiers) and extended frames (with 29-bit identifiers). Each sensor is set with stan­dard or extended identifier which is unique for a network given. The number of sensors in the net­work is up to 112.

The sensor can operate in two modes:

- the request mode. In this mode, each sensor receives a frame of remote data request (Remote

Frame) containing frame identifier, and responds by sending a data frame (Data Frame) with the
same identifier.

- the synchronization mode. When operating in the synchronization mode, each sensor auto­matically transmits a data frame (Data frame) together with its identifier in accordance with a speci­fied time interval (sampling period) or in case of switching of the external synchronization output
and with the selected division factor taken into account.

CAN interface is used only for the reception of data. Parametrization of sensors is carried out

via RS232 interface.

10.2. The sensor transmits 8 byte long frame.

-byte 0: type of device

-byte 1: = 0 – reserved

-byte 2: low byte of serial number

-byte 3: high byte of serial number

-byte 4: low byte of operating range

-byte 5: high byte of operating range

-byte 6: low byte of the result

-byte 7: high byte of the result

The result is calculated by the formula (1), (see par.8.11).

12. SETUP PROGRAM

12.1. The "RF60Х-SP" software package (

www.riftek.com/resource/files/rf60x_sp.zip ) intended

for:

1) testing and demonstration of operation of RF603-series sensors;

2) setting sensor parameters;

3) reception and storage of data;

12.2. Upon starting the program the working window appears:

1. In the line “UART Baud rate” select sensor operation speed (factory setting – 9600 bit/s),

2. In the line “COM number” select PC RS232 port number where sensor is connected.

Rev. F (14.09.2009)

Page 12/25
RIFTEK, Republic of Belarus, Minsk, tel./fax: [phone] Е-mail: [e-mail], http:// www.riftek.com

TRIANGULATION LASER SENSORS, RF603 Series

3. The line “Net number of device” defines sensor network address (factory setting for all sen­sors – "1")

4. Upon clicking the “Connect” button, RF60X-SP will attempt to establish communication with
sensor with parameters selected as above. If it fails, a ‘communication error’ message is dis­played.

5. If communication is successfully established the window changes its form to the following:

1) In the line "Device Type" the sensor model is displayed

2) In the line "Serial number", a serial number of the sensor is displayed

3) In the line "Base distance", base distance of the sensor is displayed

4) In the line "Measuring range", the sensor working range is displayed

12.3. After communication has been successfully established, it is possible to check sensor per­formance. To do so

1) Place an object within the sensor operating range.

2) Pressing "Measure" button displays the results of measurement of object position on the indi­cation panel and "Oscilloscope" panel. The "Oscilloscope" window shows graphic representation
of the accumulated data. (X-axis – time (Time Sampling Mode) or number of the result (Trigger
Sampling Mode), Y-axis – coordinates). The 06h request type is realized in this case (see par.

8.9)

3) Pressing "Stream start" button enables measurement mode with sampling by time in accor­dance with the selected Sampling Period parameter. The 07h request type is realized in this case
(see par. 8.9).

4) By moving the object within the operating range, observe changes of readings on the display
and oscilloscope.

13.13. 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.

TRIANGULATION LASER SENSORS, RF603 Series

ANNEX

Protective housing

Air-cooled protective housing can be used when operating sensor under conditions of elevated
temperatures and high pollution levels. Overall and mounting dimensions of the housing are shown
in Fig. 1A. Basic requirements:

1) Temperature of pressed air at the sensor input <250C

2) Air must be clear of oil and moisture

3) Maximum allowable ambient temperature 1200C for air pressure of 6 atm.

4) The sensor is calibrated directly in the housing, therefore if the device is used without

housing linearity of characteristics is lost.
