MICRO-EPSILON gapCONTROL 2711 User manual

5. Laser Class
The gapCONTROL 2711 sensors operate with a semiconductor laser having a wavelength
of 658 nm (visible/red). The laser operation is indicated visually by the LED on the sensor.
Laser Class 2M
The gapCONTROL 2711 sensors with a maximum laser power up to 10 mW are classified
in Laser Class 2M (IIM). The following information labels are fitted to the sensor housing
(front and rear side).
iIf both information labels are hidden in the installed state, the user must ensure that additional labels are fitted at the point of installation.

Hazard to the eye via laser radiation! Consciously close your eyes
or turn away if the laser radiation impinges on the eye.
Lasers of Class 2M are not subject to notification and a laser protection officer is not
required. Mark the laser area recognizable and everlasting.
Laser Class 3B
The gapCONTROL 2711 sensors with a maximum laser power up to 20 mW are classified
in Laser Class 3B (IIIB).
Injury to the eye or the skin via laser radiation! Consciously close
your eyes or turn away if the laser radiation impinges on the eye or
the skin.
Class 3B (IIIB) laser sensors are notifiable and a laser protection officer is required either.
During operation the laser area has to be restricted and marked. The following information
label should be fitted to the sensor housing (front and rear side):

to switch off the laser, see
Chap. “Laser switching“.
Beam attenuator
The beam attenuator prevents access to all
laser and collateral radiation. The figures show
the sensor with closed and open beam attenu-
ator. The beam attenuator must be open during
measurement.

The power supply is also possible using the FireWire connection cable, if the power sup-
ply needed is present in the PC with sufficient current intensity. When both voltages (1394
and power) are present, the higher voltage always takes over the supply of the sensor.
External laser switching
Series gapCONTROL 2711-x(002), gapCONTROL 2711-x(003), gapCONTROL 2711-
x(004) and gapCONTROL 2711-x(005) offer this function.
iSensors of Laser Class 3B (IIIB) need an external key switch to switch off the laser.
Use a serial key switch inside the control circuit to switch off the laser. You will find
details for the wiring in the instruction manual, Chap. 5.2.4.

FireWire
The gapCONTROL 2711 sensor can also be supplied with operating voltage from the PC
on the 1394 connection socket. If its capacity is not sufficient, an appropriate voltage must
be connected to the 24 VDC socket.
Use the recommended FireWire connection cable.
A power supply via free cores in the FireWire connection cable is possible if these wires
are connected in the PC (Pin 1 to +8 … 30 VDC, typically 12 VDC; Pin 2 to ground on the
FireWire connector).

Connect the supply voltage
Digital output modules need a field supply of 5 VDC or 24 VDC depending on the module
type.
After mounting of the modules install the required wiring.
Connect the “System supply (out)“ terminals of the OU-Filter module to the “System
supply (in)“ terminals of the OU-Fieldbus Coupler (0 V and 24 V).
Connect the system supply (in) of the OU-Filter module to the power supply (0 V and
24 V).
Connect the field supply (in) of the OU-Filter module to the power supply (0 V and
24 V resp. 0 V and 5 V).
iThe system supply and field supply should be separated to ensure the bus opera- tion and electrical isolation in case of a short-circuit of an actor.
8. System Requirements gapCONTROL Setup Software
- Windows 7 (32 bit and 64 bit, Windows 8 or 8.1 (32 bit and 64 bit)
- 1 GHz or faster (32 bit and 64 bit) processor / 1 GB RAM
- Screen resolution: 1024 x 768
9. Quick Start: Commissioning, Software
Install the software. iOnly connect the sensor to the peripheral equipment, if it is disconnected from
the power supply, i.e. only when the operating voltage is switched off. The sensor
needs a warm-up time of typically 20 minutes for high precision measurements.
Install the drivers for the measuring system according to the instructions on the sup-
plied CD-ROM ([CD]:\\Documentation\english\Installation\index.html).
10. Transmitting Measurement Results
gapCONTROL 2711 Firewire offers the following options for transmitting measurement
results:
- Firewire Interface
Analog output of measurement values (via optional Output Unit)
Digital output of switching signals (via optional Output Unit)
- RS422 Interface
Modbus RTU protocol
Measurement value transmission in ASCII format
11. Driver Installation for Windows XP
Connect the sensor to the PC with the IEEE
1394 FireWire cable. If the driver installation
does not start automatically, look in the device
manager for the measurement system (Start >
Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device
Manager). You will find gapCONTROL either un-
der „Imaging Devices“ or under “Other devices“.
Click with the right mouse button on the device
and select “Update Driver...“.
Select “No, not this time” and click “Next”.
Select „Install the software automatically (recommended)“ and click “Next“.
The driver is now installed, followed by
the dialog “Hardware Installation “.
Confirm this dialog with “Con-
tinue Installation“.
Click „Finish“, to complete the
driver installation.
If you want to install the driver later, or
if the driver installation is completed
successfully, you can install the driver
for gapCONTROL manually.
12. First Profile
Now start the gapCONTROL Setup Software. Click on „Display Profiles“ in the main
window.
If the software shows the error mes-
sage “No gapCONTROL found” in the
status line, please check the installed
driver in the device manager (Start >
Control Panel > System > Hardware
> Device Manager).
On the left side you can adjust the
settings for your measurement task,
the right side shows the profile data
and information about the measure-
ment.
13. Further Information
Please refer to the enclosed online manual. You will find details to the separate programs
in the respective instruction manuals or in the instruction manual of this sensor, Chap. 6.2.
You will find the instruction manuals online or on the provided CD.
