4. Laser Safety
The Sensoren scanCONTROL 2910/2960-xx/BL 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 29xx sensors, the relevant regulations according 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 Ger-
man 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.
iIf both warning labels are covered over when the unit is installed, the user must ensure that supplementary labels are applied.
Laser radiation. Close your eyes or immediately turn away if the
laser beam hits the eye. Irritation or injury of the eyes possible.
Laser Class 2M
The sensors fall within laser class 2M. The laser is operated on a pulsed mode, the
maximum optical power is ≤ 8 mW (scanCONTROL 29xx-10/BL ≤ 7 mW). Attach the
following warning labels to the cover (front and rear side) of the sensor housing:
Laser warning sign and laser label, LLT 29xx-25/BL, 29xx-50/BL, 29xx-100/BL
7 7 6
Laser warning sign and laser label, LLT 29xx-10/BL
Mark the laser area recognizable and everlasting.

RS422, Synchronization
The RS422 connection (Pin 11 and 12 of the multifunction port) can be used in either of
the following configurations:
- RS422 (half-duplex): Load user modes and sensor control, sensor control and
transmission of measurement results (Modbus RTU or ASCII format)
- Synchronization/triggering: Synchronization or triggering using switching signals

Page 5
scanCONTROL 2910/2960BL
Trigger, Encoder, Mode Switching
The switching inputs of the multifunction port can either be used for encoder input,
trigger input or for load previously stored user modes.
The signal levels are switchable for all switching inputs between LLL (low voltage, TTL
logic) and HLL (high voltage, HTL logic):
- LLL level: Low 0 V … 0,8 V, high 2.4 V … 5 V, internal pull-up 10 kΩ connected to
5 V
- HLL level: Low 0 V … 3 V, high 11 V … 24 V (permitted to 30 V), 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 has a top prior-
ity. The laser can be switched off, in addition, also by software.
This function is offered by sensors with the /BL-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-adapted IP address in the link-local-net
(169.254.x.x). No collision check is performed. This is also the standard setting.
- The sensor supports DHCP. This setting is activated by default and has priority over
the retrieval in the link-local net.
- The sensor scanCONTROL 2610/2960BL 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 make specify the sensor settings described
above.

9. 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:
https://www.micro-epsilon.
de/2D_3D/laser-scanner/Software/
downloads/.
Follow the dialog instructions through the
installation process:
A. Read the installation help
B. Install the software
C. Additional information in the Online docu-
mentation
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 connection plugs you do not require with the includ-
ed 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 scanCONTROL
software packages.
iOperating 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 switched off. The sensor
needs a warm-up time of typically 20 minutes for high precision measurements.

10. First Profile
Now start the scanCONTROL Configuration Tools software. Click on 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 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.
11. How to Access Profile Data
Profile data of scanCONTROL can be accessed via:
- GigEVision and GenICam for digital cameras via Ethernet
- SDK for fast application integration (C, C++, C# and others)
Please refer to the respective SDK documentation for further information on accessing
the profile data.

Connecting the Supply Voltage
Digital output terminals need a field supply of 5 VDC or 24 VDC depending on the
module type.
After mounting the modules, install the required wiring.
Connect the “System supply (out)“ contacts of the OU-Filter module to the “Sys-
tem supply (in)“ contacts of the 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 or 0 V and 5 V).
iThe system supply and field supply should be separated to ensure bus operation and electrical isolation if an actor short-circuits.

12. scanCONTROL Gateway
scanCONTROL 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 carried out of a scanCON-
TROL SMART sensor can be transmitted to a PLC via one of these fieldbus systems.
Furthermore, all scanCONTROL sensor settings can be set via the scanCONTROL
Gateway (e. g. Laser on/off or switch User Mode).
