3 INTENDED USE
3.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The sensor projects a laser line on the object and determines the height profile of the object along the laser line using a triangulation
process.
The object to be detected must be in the operating range of the sensor for this to occur.
The sensor has a trapezoidal operating range, defined as follows:
Spacing to sensor (Z direction): 150 to 300 mm
Length of profile (X direction):
– for an object distance of 150 mm: 45 mm
– for an object distance of 300 mm: 90 mm

The projected laser line is wider than the operating range. The object to be detected should be positioned
centrally along the laser line.
The operating range in the X direction is displayed by two green, projected, vertical ROI markers during the
“guided teach.” The ROI markers can also be switched on during operation.
uObject is located outside of the operating range.
wLaser line flashes and the [Object out of range] appears on the display.

600015-0000EN · Rev 1 · 2022/03
3.1.1 TEACH PROCESS AND HEIGHT PROFILE
The sensor is taught in the first work step (teach process). This process also applies the entire height profile determined by the laser line.
The user then has the option to further limit the relevant profile range (ROI).
The height profile from this profile range (ROI) is then saved as a taught reference profile.
Up to 10 reference profiles, including all associated setting parameters, can be taught and saved.
A reference profile can then be activated from the memory.
In the next step, the sensor continually detects the height profile, compares this to the activated reference profile and then generates a
matching value. The user can now determine a switching threshold Ò“3.2 Interpretation of the similarity value”, page 8

Fig.2: Height profile
3.1.2 NORMAL OPERATION
In normal operation, the sensor detects height profiles, either continually or triggered, and compares these to the activated reference
profile to generate a matching value.
The height profiles are referenced to a max. measuring distance = 300 mm (reference height). The reference point for the reference
height is the optical zero point of the transmitter unit. This is located in the interior of the sensor.
Example: An object is approx. 200 mm from the sensor. In the IO-Link master, the height profile is displayed in a base height of approx.
100 mm.
Profile heights reference the reference height and thus have positive absolute values.
All data sheet information refer to the dimensions of the object profiles and not to the absolute distances to the sensor. The object
profiles are displayed with real dimensions (object profile width / height) independent of their position in the operating range.

PS-30 8
600015-0000EN · Rev 1 · 2022/03
3.2 INTERPRETATION OF THE SIMILARITY VALUE
The measured height profile (also called “profile” in the following) is compared internally with an active reference profile. The degree of
similarity generates the internal measured value (matching value).
The measured value determined by the sensor thus represents the degree of similarity of the measured profile to the activated reference
profile.
Output matching value in [%] Description
100 Measured profile conforms 100% to the activated reference profile.
50 Measured profile conforms 50% to the activated reference profile.
The tolerance level of the matching value must be determined by the user during commissioning and should be used as a
switching threshold for the following differentiation:
- Good parts
- Bad parts
The transition between good parts and bad parts is determined by measurement and is used as a suitable switching threshold.
There is no general recommendation for a switching threshold. This must be determined for each individual application.
3.2.1 FLUCTUATION OF THE MATCHING VALUE
Natural fluctuations (noise, drift) are detected in the measured matching value.
These measurement fluctuations mean that the matching value itself is normally < 100% for a re-measurement of the taught object.
The measurement uncertainty, which the sensor uses to determine the height profiles, is described via the following parameters:
Gz - accuracy in the Z direction (profile height)
Gx - accuracy in the Z direction (profile width)

Fig.3: Accuracy

PS-30 9
600015-0000EN · Rev 1 · 2022/03
Gz / Gx also directly defines:
minimum object height to be detected reliably
minimum object width to be detected reliably
The height profiles are determined by the sensor with a higher resolution than Gz / Gx. Changes to the object
height / width can thus be detected within the measurement uncertainty.
3.3 PROFILE PROPERTIES
The status parameter [Profile properties] indicates the relative share of valid measurement values in the height profile. It only takes
into account the profile range selected by the user. The parameter can be applied as an indicator for the profile quality during ongoing
operation Ò“11.1 Parameter level basic functions”, page 26
Parameter value [%] Description
50 50% of the data points in the measured height profile are valid and are used for determining the matching value. Invalid values
are not taken into account.
Ideally, the status parameter [Profile properties] should be applied and saved directly after the teaching process with the taught
object (reference object). The profile quality can be checked at any time with this reference object during operation.
If the value has reduced significantly, e.g. due to changes to the sensor position, a new teaching process for the object would
make sense.
The status parameter can be constantly monitored via the IO-Link master. The status parameter can also be used for optimizing
the sensor position during the teaching process.
3.4 AREAS OF APPLICATION
The optical sensor is primarily suited for process quality assurance within the scope of workpiece shape monitoring and error detection.
Examples:
Monitoring of the processing quality, e.g. the diameter of drill holes.
Monitoring of workpieces for faulty processing, e.g. drill hole errors.
The workpiece must be at a standstill during the measurement.
The continuous measurement mode must be selected for static situations. The sensor permanently monitors the workpiece
and reports deviations to the active reference profile Ò“10.1 Continuous mode”, page 24
The triggered measurement mode must be selected for dynamic situations. A superordinate process control unit decides
when the detection takes place, thus ensuring that the workpiece is located and is at a standstill in the detection range
Ò“10.2 Triggered mode”, page 24

PS-30 10
600015-0000EN · Rev 1 · 2022/03
4 FUNCTION
The optical sensor continually detects or triggers the height profile of the object in the operating range according to the triangulation
principle. The optical sensor also has an IO-Link interface.
The sensor can be operated in three different modes of operation:
“Switching mode” Ò page 10
“Operation with an IO-Link master” Ò page 10
4.1 OPERATING MODES
4.1.1 SWITCHING MODE
In switching mode, the sensor is directly connected to the process control unit and transmits information on good part / bad part via the
switching output.
If the set switching threshold is exceeded/not reached, this is signaled by means of switching signals on switching output 1/2.
The switching outputs act complementary Ò“6 Electrical connection”, page 14
As an option, the time at which the measurement is taken can be controlled by a process control unit via the trigger input (pin 5). The
sensor reports the successful start of the measurement and the presence of the switching information via switching output 2. The
superordinate process control unit has full control of the detection time period. Ò“10.2 Triggered mode”, page 24
4.1.2 OPERATION WITH IO-LINK MASTER
If the sensor is linked to an IO-Link master, the parameterization, triggering and data recording can take place completely via IO-Link.
The cyclical process data contain the matching value and the switching information (good part / bad part).
Additional functionalities are available via IO-Link:
Detection of the number of trigger operations
Device identification
Two profile ranges (ROIs), when activating the ROI marker, the two ROIs are displayed via two green marker pairs.
Laser switch-off
Profile heights
Object offset in X / Z direction
Statistical evaluations

5.2 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.2.1 LATERAL INCLINATION
1
1Dead zone due to shadowing
Fig.4: Lateral inclination
The sensor should be aligned as vertically as possible to the object to be detected. In case of lateral inclination and vertical object edges,
the laser line will be partially interrupted. The profile cannot be detected in this area. This can be prevented
by reducing the inclination angle.

Fig.5: Front inclination
If the sensor inclination is from the front or rear, it must be ensured that the laser line reflected by the object can be detected by the
receiver.
Reducing the inclination angle or rotating the sensor 180° can ensure that the receiver detects the laser line.
5.2.3 SATURATION AND SIGNAL LOSS
The sensor automatically regulates the exposure time for capturing the height profile to prevent saturation.
Highly reflective surfaces reflect the laser light in the direction of the sensor with extreme contrasts. In some cases, this leads to
individual points within the profile range (ROI) that can no longer be detected.
Signal losses can be avoided by a slight change to the sensor position.
incline the sensor laterally or frontally
increase or decrease the object distance

uChange the sensor position slightly, e.g. lateral or front inclination, reduce / increase spacing to object.
5.2.5 PREVENTING SOILING AND AMBIENT LIGHT
Optical sensors should preferably be set up with the front panel downwards or parallel to the ground surface.
Background:
Optical sensors are sensitive to direct radiation from light sources. Common light sources (lamps, sun) typically radiate from above.
Optical sensors react sensitively to soiling because this reduces the operating reserve.
Dust deposits can be reduced by a downward or lateral installation. This can help to achieve longer cleaning
intervals.
It must be noted that sensors that are installed with the front panel pointing upwards should not be aimed at
skylights or ceiling lights.

Ò“10.1 Continuous mode”, page 24
In the “Triggered mode” operating mode, OUT2 is configured as a readiness signal. Ò“10.2 Triggered mode”, page 24
Complementary outputs transmit the same sensor information with oppositional logic levels. This means that both an opener and
a closer switching output are available at the same time.
OUT1 can be used, e.g. for the detection of good parts, while OUT2 can signal the detection of bad parts.
6.1 OPERATION WITH IO-LINK MASTER
The device is compatible with IO-Link master port class A (type A).
When operating with IO-Link master port class B (type B), please note the following:
By default, the device is not compatible with master port class B (TypeB). Pin 2 and pin 5 are used for
manufacturer-specific functions. This means that the main supply voltage of the device and the additional
voltage supply (master port class B on pin 2/5) cannot be galvanically isolated.
The device can be used with master port class B using the following configuration:
Connect the device and the IO-Link master via 3 wires: Connect pin 1, 3 and 4 of the device to the IO-Link master (do not connect
pin 2 and 5).

8 SET-UP
uCheck whether or not the device is operating properly after installation, electrical connection and programming.
wIf the initial set-up is correct, the sensor starts with “Guided teach” Ò“8.1 Guided teach / Teach process for reference profiles”, page 16.
The sensor saves the most recent settings made internally.
When the sensor is switched on for the first time after a reset, it goes back to “Guided teach” because a reset
will delete the taught reference profile.
Service life of a laser diode: 50,000 hours
The sensor should not be moved again after a successful teach process. The activated reference profile will
no longer be reliably detected any time there is a change to the sensor position.
The sensor must be re-taught after each position change.
The sensor requires a warm-up period of ≥ 10min. The performance parameters specified in the data sheet
only apply after this warm-up period.
The teaching of objects should also only be done in a warmed-up state.

uStart the teach process with [●].
wThe sensor makes multiple measurements of the profile of the object / background.
uUse [▲] / [▼], to select [Confirm] or [Back] and press [●].
[Confirm]: Taught profile is saved.
[Back]: Re-teach the profile.
The object should not be moved during the measurement. The end of the measurement is also signaled to the display by two
flashes of the laser line.
If the object to be detected is outside of the operating range (e.g. closer than 150 mm or farther than 300 mm), the teach process
will be aborted. The message [Object outside of range] will appear for three seconds. Then a new teach process is started.
8.1.3 SETTING THE PROFILE RANGE (ROI)
The sensor gives you the option to select a relevant profile range (ROI) from the entire taught height profile. The profile section contained
in this profile range (ROI) is saved as a reference profile and is then used to determine the matching value.
Using this limitation, the evaluation of the height profile can be reduced to the relevant characteristic.
Deviations at irrelevant locations are not taken into account.
uIn the next step, the relevant profile range (ROI) should be specified.
wThe options [Define ROI] and [Back] appear on the display.
uUse [▲] / [▼], to select [Define ROI] or [Back] and press [●].

The standard setting for the relevant profile range (ROI) includes the entire operating range. If the marks are not moved, but only
confirmed, then the entire taught profile is used for the evaluation.
8.1.4 SETTING THE POSITION OF THE REFERENCE PROFILE
A reference profile was taught in the previous step from a relevant profile range (ROI). The next step is used to determine in which range
the measured height profile should be searched for. There are two selection options here:
Fixed:
The reference profile is searched for in the profile range (ROI) specified during the teaching process. During operation, the objects
monitored must be positioned exactly as in the teaching process.
Floating:
Because of machine and manual related shift tolerances, it is not always possible to position the object being monitored in the correct
position. This problem can be avoided by selecting [Floating]. The taught reference profile is searched for in the entire determined height
profile. The taught reference profile can be detected successfully despite the position change along the X and Z axis.
Marker function:
During the teach process, the relevant profile range (ROI) is displayed via two green, projected, vertical marker lines (ROI markers).
This indicates to the user which area of the laser line is specified as an ROI. The marker lines are removed once the teach process has
ended. They can be displayed manually, however Ò“11.1 Parameter level basic functions”, page 26
uIn the next step, the position of the ROI should be specified.
wThe options [Fixed], [Floating] and [Back] appear on the display.
uUse [▲] / [▼], to select [Fixed], [Floating] or [Back] and press[●].
[Fixed]: The shifting of the object is not permitted.
[Floating]: The shifting of the object in the X direction (along the laser line) and in the Z direction is permitted.

Matching value > switching threshold (default = 90%), then the measured value appears in green →good part.
Matching value < switching threshold (default = 90%), then the measured value appears in red →bad part.
Natural fluctuations (noise, drift) are detected in the measured matching value. These measurement fluctuations mean that the
matching value itself is normally < 100% for a re-measurement of the taught object.
Ò“3.2.1 Fluctuation of the matching value”, page 8
wThe options [Adjust threshold], [Save settings] and [Back] appear on the display.
uSelect with [▲] / [▼] and press [●].
[Save settings]:
– Settings are saved.
[Set threshold]:
– Set the value for the new threshold with [▲] / [▼] and confirm with [●].
You can find the optimal setting for your application by testing good parts / bad parts using different switching
thresholds. The good part / bad part evaluation is shown on the display.
The Advanced functions option can be used to set individual color allocations.

8.1.6 SAVING REFERENCE PROFILES
uIn the next step, the taught reference profile, including all settings made, are saved to one of the 10 memory spaces.
The free / occupied memory locations are designated as follows:
Free memory Occupied memory
●
[Select the memory location for the current profile]:
uThe memory location can be changed with [▲] / [▼] and confirmed with [●].
u[Overwrite profile X?]:
Only appears when the selected memory location is already occupied.
wThe options [No] / [Yes] appear on the display.
uSelect with [▲] / [▼] and confirm with [●].
w[No]: Return to the previous step.
w[Yes]: Height profile is overwritten and the sensor is set to the RUN mode.

8.1.7 FINISHING THE TEACHING PROCESS
u[Select the next step]
This step only appears if the selected memory space is available.
wThe options [Go to run mode] / [Add new profile] appear on the display.
uSelect with [▲] / [▼] and confirm with [●].
[Go to run mode]: Initial set-up is complete and the sensor is set to the RUN mode. The newly taught profile is activated for the detection
of the matching value.
[Add new profile]: Teaching a new profile Ò“8.1 Guided teach / Teach process for reference profiles”, page 16
[Back]: Return to Ò“ 8.1.4 Setting the position of the reference profile”, page 18
8.1.8 RUN MODE
The sensor is switched to Run mode after set-up via “Guided teach.” The device is now ready for operation.
It continually detects and compares profiles to the activated reference profile based on the set switching threshold.
The result (good part / bad part) is indicated:
Visually via the display:
– Good part: Matching value lights up green when the matching value ≥ switching threshold
– Bad part: Matching value lights up red when the matching value < switching threshold
Visually via the switching indicator: Lights up depending on the set function.
Switching output: OUT1 is switched or not switched depending on the set function.
