6.2 Sectors
The linescanner is equipped with three analog outputs. Each output can be assigned to a ”sector” within the 90°
scan angle. For each sector, the type of output (maximum, minimum, or mean value) can be selected. The output
range can be configured for either 0 ... 20 mA, 4 ... 20 mA, or custom configured by user settings. The sector size
and the emissivity value can be set for each sector, even if the sectors overlap. (In the case of overlapping sectors,
the higher emissivity is given priority.) To use the sector function, the linescanner must run in the continuous mode.
Note
Use the Configurator of the scanner software to configure the analog outputs!
Figure 6-2: Monitoring of Sectors
•
The maximum size of a sector is 90°.
•
The corresponding analog output will remain inactive if the sector size is 0.
•
Each sector can have either a maximum, minimum, or mean output value.
•
Each sector is assigned to an analog interface.
•
The output range can be adjusted to any value between 0-20mA.
•
The analog interfaces are potential-free, but have a common ground connection
