The measuring system is designed for use in industrial applications.
The measuring system satisfies the requirements if the guidelines in the operating inst-
ructions are maintained in installation and operation.
3. Proper Environment

4. Laser Safety
The scanCONTROL 25xx/BL sensors operate with a semiconductor laser with a
wavelength of 405 nm (visible/blue). Operation of the laser is indicated visually by the
LED on the sensor, see operating instructions Chap. 3.3.
When operating the scanCONTROL 25xx/BL sensors, the relevant regulations accord-
ing to IEC 60825, Part 1 of 05/2014 and the applicable accident prevention regulations
must be followed. The laser warning labels for Germany have already been attached.
For other non German speaking countries, an IEC standard label is included in delivery
and the versions valid for the user’s country must be attached before the device is put
into operation for the first time.
i
If both warning labels are covered over when the unit is installed, the user must
ensure that supplementary labels are attached.
Laser Class 2M
The sensors fall within laser class 2M (IIM). The laser is operated on a pulsed mode,
the maximum optical power is ≤ 8 mW.
Laser radiation. Close your eyes or immediately turn away if the
laser beam hits the eye. Irritation or injury of the eyes possible.
Attach the following warning labels to the cover (front and rear side) of the sensor
housing.

RS422, Synchronisation
The RS422 connection (pins 11 and 12 of the multifunction port) can be used in either
of the following configurations:
- RS422 (half-duplex): Load programs, control sensor and transmit measurement
results (Modbus RTU or ASCII format).
- Synchronization/triggering: Synchronization or triggering using switching signals.
Trigger, Encoder, Mode Switching
The switching inputs of the multifunction port can either be used for encoder input,
trigger input or to load previously stored user modes.
The signal levels are switchable for all switching inputs together via software between
LLL (low-voltage-, TTL logic) and HLL (high-voltage-, HTL logic):
- LLL: Low 0 V … 0.8 V, high 2.4 V … 5 V, internal pull-up 10 kΩ connected to 5 V
- HLL: Low 0 V … 3 V, high 11 V … 24 V (up to 30 V are permissible), internal pull-up
10 kΩ connected to 24 V
- Pulse duration: ≥ 5 µs
External Laser Switch-off, Optional
The external laser switch-off is implemented as a hardware solution and is a top priority.
The laser can also be switched off by software.
This function is offered by sensors with the /SI option.
Use a serial key switch in the control circuit to switch off the laser
With standard sensors, connecting the supply voltage activates the laser light source in
the sensor.
Wiring details are available in the operating instructions, Chap. 5.2.6.

- The sensor supports an automatic, sensor-specific IP address in the link-local net
(169.254.x.x). No collision detection is implemented. This is also the default setting.
- The sensor supports DHCP. This setting is activated by default and has priority over
search the link-local net.
- The scanCONTROL 25xx/BL sensor supports Power over Ethernet.
If the sensor is connected to a POE-capable network adapter/
switch and you also use the power supply of the multifunction port,
these two power supplies must be galvanically isolated.
> Damage to the sensor and/or Ethernet card!
- A fixed IP address can be assigned.
Use the sensorTOOL program to specify the sensor settings
described above.
The program is available online at www.micro-epsilon.com/download/software/sensor-
TOOL.exe.

7. Quickstart: Initial Operation, Software
Mount the sensor according to the installation instructions.
Install the software.
You will find the software online on the product
website of the sensor or in the download area:
www.micro-epsilon.com/2D_3D/la-
ser-scanner/Software/downloads/
Follow the dialog through the installation
process:
A. Reading the installation help
B. Installing the software
C. Additional information in the online
documentation
Connect the sensor to the PC using the optionally available SCR3000A-x Ethernet
cable.
Connect the shield of the power supply cable to the PE grounding conductor of
the main power supply. Close unused connection plugs with the included
protective caps. Turn on the power supply (24 VDC).
Please wait until the scanCONTROL measuring system is recognized by the PC.
This may take a few seconds.
Now you can operate the scanCONTROL measuring system with the scanCON-
TROL software packages.
i
Operating the sensors via Ethernet may require the IP settings of the PC/sensor
or the firewall settings to be adjusted, see Chap. 5.2.5 of the operating instruc-
tions.
The connectors for Ethernet and the multifunction port include a screw connector.
Loosen the screws connection before you remove the connector from the socket.
iOnly connect the sensor to the peripheral equipment, if it is disconnected from the power supply, i.e. only when the supply voltage is turned off. The sensor
needs a warm-up time of typically 20 minutes for high precision measurements.

8. First Profile
Now start the scanCONTROL Configuration Tools software.
Click Display Profiles in the main window.
If the software shows the error message No scanCONTROL found in the status line,
please check the Ethernet connection between scanCONTROL and the PC.
On the left side you can adjust the settings for your measurement task, the right side
shows the profile data and further information about the measurement.
9. How to Access Profile Data
Profile data of scanCONTROL can be accessed via:
- GigEVision and GenICam for digital cameras via Ethernet interface
- SDK for fast integration into applications (C, C++, C# and others)
Please refer to the respective SDK documentation for further information on accessing
the profile data.
10. Transmitting Measurement Results
scanCONTROL 25xx/BL offers the following options for transmitting measurement
results:
- Ethernet interface
Modbus TCP protocol
UDP protocol
Analog output of measurement values (via optional 2D/3D Output Unit)
Digital output of switching signals (via optional 2D/3D Output Unit)
Fieldbus connection PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, EtherCAT (via optional 2D/3D Gate-
way)
- RS422 interface
Modbus RTU protocol
Transmission of measurement values in ASCII format

scanCONTROL 25xx
11. 2D/3D Gateway
2D/3D Gateway allows for scanCONTROL SMART sensors to be integrated into various
fieldbus systems:
- PROFINET
- EtherNet/IP
- EtherCAT
All measurement results obtained from the profile evaluation performed by a
scanCONTROL SMART sensor can be transmitted to a PLC via one of these fieldbus
systems. Furthermore, all scanCONTROL sensor settings can be set via the 2D/3D
Gateway (e. g. Laser on/off or User Mode).
