Turning on the Laser
The measuring laser on the sensor is switched on via a software command or a switching input. This allows to switch off the sensor for maintenance purposes or similar. Response time: after the laser
is switched on, the sensor needs depending on the measuring rate five cycles to send correct measured data.
Laser on/off via software,
Supply with PoE
The measuring laser on the sensor is
activated via a software command.
Laser on/off via hardware,
Supply with PoE
The measuring laser on the sensor is activated
via a switch or similar.
Laser on/off via hardware,
Supply without PoE
A switching transistor with open collector (for example in an optocoupler), a relay contact or a digital TTL or
HTL signal are suitable for switching.
Activation using the
PC1900-IE-x/OE-RJ45 cable is pos-
sible.
Activation using the PC1900-IE-x/OE-RJ45 cable is possible.

No external resistance is required for current limitation. For permanent "Laser on", connect the black and violet wires.
Switch between Industrial Ethernet Operation and Ethernet Setup Mode
The sensor starts in the last stored operating mode. It is factory set to Industrial Ethernet (IE). Access via Ethernet is possible in the Ethernet setup mode.
Press and hold the Select button on the sensor before switching on the power supply on the sensor. Release the button again as soon as the State LED flashes yellow. Press the button again
for approx. 10 to 15 seconds until the State LED flashes red.
Within the time t2... t3, the red flashing with 8 Hz starts after 10 seconds. The key must be released again after 15 seconds at the latest. When the Select key is released at the latest at time t3, the
State LED starts to flash yellow at 8 Hz.

Access via Web Interface
Start your web browser.
Type the IP address of the sensor into the address bar.
Interactive web pages you can use to configure the sensor are now displayed in the web
browser. The web interface does not guarantee real-time measurements. The currently running
measurement can be controlled using the function buttons in the Chart type section.
In the top navigation bar, other functions (settings, measurement chart etc.) are available. The
appearance of the websites can change dependent of the functions. Each page contains dy-
namic parameter descriptions and tips on completing the web page.
After parameterization, store all settings permanently in a parameter set so that they are available
again the next time the sensor is switched on. To do this, use the Save settings button.
Positioning the Target
Position the target as centrally as possible within the measuring range.
The state LED on the sensor indicates the position of the target to the sensor.

low reflection
Saving the Settings, Continuing Industrial Ethernet Operation
Go to Settings > System settings > Load & Save or click the Save settings
button.
The sensor now also saves the settings for use in Industrial Ethernet operation.
Go to Settings > System settings > Boot mode. Select the entry Industrial
Ethernet.
The sensor disconnects from the browser and boots automatically with the Industrial Ethernet
firmware. The boot process can take up to one minute.
Alternatively, you can return to the Industrial Ethernet operation via the select button. Details
can be found in section Switch between Ethernet Setup Mode and Industrial Eth-
ernet.
Continue working in your PLC environment.

Quick Guide
Structure of the Components
Mount the sensor and connect the components to one another.
Initial Operation
Connect the sensor to a power supply if PoE is not used.
Operation via Web Interface
The sensors start with the last stored operating mode. Standard is Industrial Ethernet (IE). A web server is implemented in the sensor; the web interface displays, among other things, the current set-
tings of the sensor. Operation is only possible while there is an Ethernet connection to the sensor.
EtherCAT EtherNet/IP Profinet
Ethernet setup mode Ethernet over EtherCAT (EoE) iAn ILD1900-IE with EtherNet/IP
is delivered in DHCP mode. A
DHCP server is required, to as-
sign an IP address to the sensor.
Subsequently, it is also possible
to assign a static IP address.
Assign an IP address to the sen-
sor.
With EtherNet/IP the web interface can
be accessed without switching to the
Ethernet setup mode.
You can find an example of this in the
appendix of the operating instructions.
Ethernet setup mode Profinet operation
Switch to the Ethernet setup mode.
Details can be found in section Switch
between Industrial Ethernet
Operation and Ethernet Setup
Mode.
The standard IP address is
169.254.168.150. Note: As IP setting of
the network card to which the sensor is
connected, we recommend a static con-
figuration with 169.254.168.1 as IP ad-
dress and the subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
Parallel to the EtherCAT opera-
tion you can adjust the sensor.
Enable the EoE in your
PLC software.
Virtual Ethernet Port is
a name in TwinCAT®.
Assign a MAC address
and an IP address to the
slave.
Switch to the Ethernet setup
mode.
Details can be found in section
Switch between Industrial
Ethernet Operation and Eth-
ernet Setup Mode.
The standard IP address is
169.254.168.150. Note: As IP setting
of the network card to which the sen-
sor is connected, we recommend a
static configuration with 169.254.168.1
as IP address and the subnet mask
255.255.0.0.
iAn ILD1900-IE with Profinet has
no IP address by default. The IP
address and the device name are
assigned via DCP (Discovery and
Configuration Protocol). The IP
address and the device name can
be assigned, e.g., via the TIA Portal
software.
Assign an IP address to the sensor.
You can find an example of this in the
appendix of the operating instructions.
