3.5.1 User interface

In normal operation the LMS1xx fully automatically without the intervention of an operator. The interactive configuration is carried out using the provided SOPAS ET configuration

software. The software used for this purpose runs on a PC that is connected to the LMS1xx via one of the interfaces.

Use the graphic scan view in SOPAS ET to verify the generated measured values and to verify the measurement area online. During this process, note that the field evaluation monitor cannot display the data in real-time and therefore does not display all measured values.

3.5.2 Status indicators

The LEDs and the 7segment display indicate the operational status of the LMS1xx.

3.6 Operating principle of the LMS1xx

The LMS1xx is an electro-optical laser measurement sensor that electro-sensitively scans the perimeter of its surroundings in a plane with the aid of laser beams. The LMS1xx measures its surroundings in two-dimensional polar coordinates. If a laser beam is incident on an object, the position is determined in the form of distance and direction.

Fig. 4: Measuring principle of the LMS1xx

Scanning takes place in a sector of 270°. The scanning range of the LMS1xx is typedependent maximum up to 50

m on light, natural surfaces (e.g. a white house wall).

Distance measurement

The LMS1xx emits pulsed laser beams using a laser diode. If such a laser pulse is incident on an object or a person, it is reflected at its surface. The reflection is detected in the receiver of the LMS1xx using a photodiode.

Fig. 5: Principle of operation for pulse propagation time measurement

The distance to the object is calculated from the propagation time that the light requires from emission to reception of the reflection at the sensor. This principle of “pulse pro

pagation time measurement” is used by radar systems in a similar manner (see also

section 3.8.4 “Measured value output for a second reflected pulse” on page 38).

Product description

LMS1xx Laser Measurement Sensors

Operating Instructions

Direction measurement

The emitted laser beams are deflected using a mirror and scan the surroundings in a circular manner. The measurements are triggered at regular steps using an angular encoder.

The LMS1xx scans with a scanning frequency of 25 or 50 Hz. During this process, a laser pulse and therefore a measurement is triggered after an angular step of 0.25° or 0.50°.

Influences of object surfaces on the measurement

The signal received from a perfectly diffuse reflecting white surface corresponds to the definition of a remission of 100 %. As a result of this definition, the remissions for surfaces that reflect the light bundled (mirrored surfaces, reflectors), are more than 100

Fig. 6: Reflection of the laser beam at the surface of an object

The majority of surfaces reflect the laser beam diffusely in all directions. The reflection of the laser beam will vary as a function of the surface’s structure and color.

Light surfaces reflect the laser beam better than dark surfaces and can be detected by the LMS1xx over larger distances. Bright white plaster reflects approx. 100 light, black foam rubber approx. 2.4

%. On very rough surfaces, part of the energy is lost due

% of the incident

to shading. The scanning range of the LMS1xx will be reduced as a result.

Fig. 7: Reflection angle

The reflection angle is the same as the angle of incidence. If the laser beam is incident perpendicularly on a surface, the energy is optimally reflected (

Fig. 6). If the beam is

incident at an angle, a corresponding energy and scanning range loss occurs (Fig. 7).

Product description

Fig. 8: Degree of reflection

Chapter 3

If the reflected energy returned is over 100 % (basis: Kodak standard) the incident beam is not reflected diffusely in all directions, but is reflected in a specific direction (

Fig. 8). As a

result a large portion of the energy emitted can be received by the laser distance measurement device. Plastic reflectors (“cats’ eyes”), reflective tape and triple prisms have these properties.

Fig. 9: Mirror surfaces

At mirror surfaces the laser beam is almost entirely deflected (Fig. 9). Instead of the surface of the mirror, it is possible that the object on which the deflected laser

beam is incident may be detected.

Fig. 10: Object smaller than diameter of the laser beam

Objects that are smaller than the diameter of the laser beam cannot reflect all the energy of the laser light (

Fig. 10). The energy in the portion of the laser light that is not reflected is

lost. This means that the scanning range is less than would be possible theoretically based on the surface of the object.

3.6.1 Scanning range of the LMS1xx

The scanning range of the LMS1xx is dependent on the remission of the objects to be detected. The better a surface reflects the incident radiation, the greater the scanning range of the LMS1xx. The diagrams in

Fig. 11, Fig. 12 and Fig. 13 on page 27 indicate the

relationship between remission and detectability for different LMS1xx variants.

Scanning range as a function of the target remission

Up to a distance of 10 m the LMS1xx can detect objects from 3 % remission.  At a distance of 20 m objects are only detected if they have a remission > 13 % (Fig. 11). The LMS14x only detects objects at a distance up to 16 m from 3 % remission (Fig. 12), the  LMS15x only detects objects at a distance up to 10 m from 3 % remission (Fig. 13 on

page 27).

3.6.2 Beam diameter and distance between measured points

With increasing distance from the LMS1xx the laser beam of the LMS1xx increases in size. As a result the diameter of the measured point on the surface of the object increases.

The distance-dependent diameter of the measured point is the distance

Fig. 14: Beam expansion

(mm (in)) × 0.015 rad + 8 mm.

With increasing distance from the LMS1xx, the distance between the individual measured points also increases. The distance between the measured points is also dependent on the angular resolution configured. With a coarser resolution, the distance is larger, with a finer resolution the distance is smaller. The distance-dependent spacing between the measured points is the tangent of the angular resolution × distance.

Fig. 15: Schematic layout of the distance between measured points at different angular

resolutions

The diagram in Fig. 16 on page 29 shows the beam diameter and the measured point spacing as a function of the distance from the LMS1xx.

Important The beam diameter is always greater than the measured point spacing. As a result full

scanning without gaps is ensured.
