1 General Information

1.1 Explanation of Symbols

The symbols used in this operating manual are explained below.

Attention
This symbol appears in front of text which must be carefully observed. Failure
to heed this information can lead to injuries to personnel or damage to the
equipment.

Attention Laser Radiation

This symbol warns of possible danger through hazardous laser radiation.

Notice
This symbol indicates text which contains important information.

1.2 Important Terms

Triangulation Distance measuring procedure, which determines the distance of an object

by the incidence angle of the light reflected from the object.

Absolute measurement Shows the possible divergence of the measurement value from the anticipat-
accuracy ed value through changes in the environmental conditions during the mea-
suring process. Higher accuracy is given at constant environmental condi-
tions.

Repeatability Measuring distance change with repeated measurement at the same output
signal (observe the same peripheral conditions as with resolution).

Resolution The smallest possible distance change of the measured object, which causes
a definite change in the output signal. Resolution is higher in the proximate
area than in the distant area. Small objects can be recognized better in the
proximate area.

Remission Return and/or degree of reflection of the radiated light.

Integration time The integration time of the ODS 96 is comparable to the exposure time in a
camera. It is automatically adjusted to the intensity of the reflected light and
thus depends on the reflectance factor of the measured object. It is inversely
proportional to the measurement frequency.

Measurement The measurement frequency represents the number of measurements per

frequency second. When adjusting the integration time to the reflectivity independency,
the measurement frequency changes corresponding to the reflectivity value.

Response time The time period required by the ODS to obtain stable measurements after
change of the reflectivity behavior.

Delay before The delay before start-up indicates the point in time when the first valid mea-
start-up surement can be obtained after switching on.

3 Description

3.1 General description

The ODS 96 is a distance measuring device with a large area of application.
The equipment is available as LED or laser version with analog or digital out-
puts. The distance measuring device works on the triangulation principle and
uses a CCD line for evaluating the measurement signal.
An integrated microcontroller enables parameter programming via an option-
al programming software. Except for the RS 485 interface, the switching
points of the switching outputs of all other types can be set without software
via a teach-in input.
Through adjustment of the integration time (exposure time) to the intensity of
the objects’ reflected light, a high degree of independence from the reflectivity
properties of the measured object is achieved. In case of low reflectivity (dark
objects) a lower measurement frequency results.

Accessories To expand the functionality of the ODS 96, a programming software is avail-
able.
With regard to their dimensions, the ODS 96 distance sensors are identical
with the sensors of the series 96 of Leuze electronic. Particularly, the mount-
ing accessories of the series 96 can be used for the ODS 96. Details can be
found in section 4 "Technical Data".

3.2 Typical Areas of Application for the ODS 96

3.2.1 Continuous Distance Measuring

All ODS 96 types with analog or digital output can be used for continuous dis-
tance measuring. In order to use all features of the ODS 96, use of the pro-
gramming software is recommended.
Depending on position or settings of the ODS, various applications are pos-
sible:
• Measuring the thickness of planks with two opposing sensors and a dif-
ferential of the two measured values.
• Stack/Object height measuring
Even with difficult surfaces, the stack/ object height of moving objects
can be measured. Averaging is recommended here.
• Contour determination through controlled passing movement of an
object through the beam of the ODS 96.
• Volume measuring by taking measurements on two levels during the
concurrent movement of the object. Leuze electronic offers a system
solution: the VMS volume measurement system.
In case of ODS 96 types with analog outputs, it is recommended to limit the
working range of the analog output to the required distance range. The ana-
log output will then be activated within the distance range from 1 ... 10 V or
4 - 20 mA. Distances outside this range will automatically have an output
voltage of < 1 V, 4 mA or > 10 V, 20 mA.

 Leuze electronic Description

3.2.2 Positioning Tasks

For simple positioning tasks, all ODS 96 M/S types with two teachable
switching outputs are suitable.
The ODS 96 is mounted in a way to enable positioning in the direction of the
measuring beam. Both switching outputs are tought to the required position.
In case the distance is smaller than the tought position, switching output 1 is
active and switches the positioning motor to enlarge the distance. In case the
distance is bigger than the tought position, switching output 2 is active and
switches the positioning motor to reduce the distance.
Using this method, positioning tasks can be performed without difficulties.

3.2.3 Filling Level Control for Bulk Goods

For the filling level control in connection with control of material flow, all ODS
96 types with one switching output are suitable. However, the programming
software is required to adjust the hysteresis.
The ODS 96 is mounted ensuring that its measuring beam meets the surface
of the bulk good vertically. Using the software, function of Q1 is set to "light
switching" and the minimal filling level entered as lower limit. The upper limit
is set to the maximum range of the ODS (600 mm or 2000 mm, depending on
the ODS type). The distance between minimum and maximum filling level is
entered as hysteresis.

Leuze electronic ODS 96 9

Description Leuze electronic

Material flow is switched on/off by the ODS as soon as the filling level falls
below the lower limit or reaches the maximum.

Figure 3.4: Behavior of the analog output, ODS 96 M/V (laser)

Behavior of the output, The ODS 96 M/V has an analog output with linear behavior inside the respec-
ODS 96 M/V tive measurement range. The user can choose between current output
(4 - 20 mA) and voltage output (1 - 10 V). Above and below the linear range,
linearity is lost however, the output values signify an upper deviation (>
20 mA respectively > 10 V) or a lower deviation (< 4 mA respectively < 1 V)
of the measurement range.
Additionally, a switching output is available with the ODS 96 M/V. The posi-
tion within the measuring range, at which the switching output is active can
be set as needed via a teach-in lead. The breadth of the active range is
± 2 mm (LED) respectively ± 10 mm (laser).
Using the optional programming software, the declivity of the output charac-
teristic curve can be changed (steep progression with concurrent reduction
of the measurement range). Furthermore, the switching behavior of the addi-
tional switching output can be individually set.

Figure 3.5: Serial output, ODS 96 M/D

Serial output of the The serial output of the ODS 96 M/D delivers a continuous data stream. The
ODS 96 M/D measurement value is transmitted with two byte. The LSB signifies the High-
and the Low-Byte, to ensure recognition of definite coherence. For transmis-
sion, no telegram frame, but only the normal serial protocol is used. The
transmission protocol consists of 8 databit, 1 startbit, 1 stopbit, no parity. The

Leuze electronic ODS 96 11

Description Leuze electronic

ODS 96 M/D has a digital output which is realized either through the RS 232
or the RS 485 interface. The transmission rate is 9600 baud at the RS 232
interface and 9600 baud without termination at the RS 485 interface.
A "C" program example demonstrates how bytes are read and processed for
further usage:

Program example in "C" //Start of the program for measurement value generation-------------------------------

Rxbyte = inportb(RXB(COM2.port_adr)); //Read transmitted byte

if (flag==0) //First byte has to be a

//Low-Byte

if ((Rxbyte & 0x01) == 0) //Test on Low-Byte

value = (Rxbyte & 0xFE) >> 1; //Insert measurement value

//point-aligned

flag = 1; //Next received

//byte has to be a
//High-Byte

else
{

if ((Rxbyte & 0x01) == 1) //Test on High-Byte

value|=((Rxbyte&0xFE) << 6); //Insert point-aligned in

//measurement value

flag = 0; //14 Bit measurement value

//is generated

measurement value = value; //Save measurement value

}
}

// End of program of measurement value generation--------------------------------------

The behavior of the switching output of the ODS M/D can be set as described
with the ODS 96 M/V. However, the ODS 96 M/D type with RS 485 interface
does not offer a teach input.

ODS 96 M/S with two The two switching outputs of the ODS 96 M/S are working independently
switching outputs from each other. Through the teach input, the second signal edge can be
tought at output 1, the first signal edge is situated at the beginning of the mea-
surement range. The first signal edge can be tought at output 2, the second
signal edge is situated at the end of the measurement range.
A teach line is available for both switching outputs, meaning the switching
outputs are tought alternatingly. The presently tought output is displayed
through the simultaneous or alternating flashing of the LEDs.
The outputs can be adjusted independently of each other by using the option-
al programming software.

If an ODS is connected, the following window appears:

Figure 6.3: Start menu before measurement

The software automatically recognizes the connected sensor with its default
settings.

6.3.1 Description of the Menu Commands

File Under menu item "File" you can switch to parameterization mode or quit the
program.

Type! Menu item "Type!" enables presetting of parameters and generation of pa-
rameter files without connected ODS. In this menu you can choose a device
for which parameter files should be defined.

Options The following three possibilities are offered under "Options":

• Language selection to choose the language for dialogue.
• Interface to choose the port to which the cable to the ODS is connected
(standard: COM 1). The programming software automatically recog-
nizes the interface used. Choosing a different port could become neces-
sary if more than one sensor is used.
• Change password: first enter your old, then your new password and
confirm with OK.

? Choose About..., for information on programming software ( product, pro-

gram, device version, as well as for the address of Leuze electronic).

6.3.2 Programming and Adjustment Possibilities

At this point, the various programming possibilities will be explained. As al-
ready mentioned, the software offers an extended functionality. For program-
ming purposes, proceed as follows:

Switching to Parameterization Mode

© Klick on Parameterization in the start window.

Password If the program has been started for the first time that day, the password has
to be entered. The factory-set password is: ODS 96.
After entering and confirming the following window appears:

Figure 6.4: Parameterization mode, ODS 96 with analog output

In the upper part of the window, information on the connected ODS 96 device
is displayed.

Options The complete parameter set for the ODS 96 is stored in a default parameter
file. In case of necessary service, the command Options “ Write default
parameters can be used to transmit the contents of this file to the ODS 96.
The command Options “ Write customer parameters, triggers the same
result as the button Write parameters to ODS.

Working range analog You can adjust which distance corresponds to a voltage of 1 V, 4 mA at the
output analog output (lower range limit) and which distance corresponds to a voltage
of 10 V, 20 mA (upper range limit).
The shortest adjustable range is 44 mm for the LED version and 400 mm for
the Laser version.

This area is inaccessible with ODS 96 devices without analog output.

Figure 6.5: Programming window ODS 96 with two switching outputs

Switching outputs Depending on the ODS 96 type, values for either one or two switching out-
puts can be set. The adjustable parameters have the following meaning:
• Light switching: in case an object is inside the area defined under
"from - to", the switching output is active (high).
• Dark switching: in case an object is inside the area defined under "from
- to", the switching output is inactive.
• Hysteresis: Expansion of the switching range for switching off. For
switching on, the set switching points remain always valid.
Adjustable value range:
• 0 .. 300 mm LED device
• 0 .. 1000 mm laser device
It is possible to adjust values which exceed the limits of the measure-
ment ranges. A regulation happens at the following values:

LED device Laser device

Lower range 75 mm 170 mm
Upper range 800 mm 2200 mm

can be performed independently for each
switching output. This means also for ODS
96 types with more than one switching out-
put.

Additional extraneous All conventional measures have been taken to render the ODS 96 insensitive
light suppression towards extraneous light. Through a special way of signal processing, the in-
tegrated microcontroller enables an additional extraneous light suppression.

Number of Particularly objects with uneven or reflective surface require the measure-
measurements for ment value be taken from the average of several measurements instead of
averaging just one.

Notice
The higher the number of measurements for averaging is chosen, the lower
is the number of measurements per time unit (refreshing of measurement re-
sults).
