5. Laser Safety
The scanCONTROL 25xx sensors operate with a semiconductor laser having a wave-
length of 658 nm (visible/red). The laser operation is indicated visually by the LED on
the sensor.
When operating the scanCONTROL 25xx sensors, the relevant regulations according
to IEC 60825, Part 1 of 05/2014 and the applicable accident prevention regulations
must be followed.
Attach the following warning labels to the cover (front side) of the sensor housing. The
laser warning labels for Germany have already been applied. Those for other non Ger-
man-speaking countries an IEC standard label is included in delivery and the versions
applicable to the user’s country must be applied before the equipment is used for the
first time.
i
If the information labels are hidden in the installed state, the user must ensure
that additional labels are fitted at the point of installation.
scanCONTROL 25xx sensors with a maximum laser power up to 8 mW are classified in
Laser Class 2M (IIM). Attach the following warning labels to the cover (front side) of the
sensor housing.

RS422, Synchronization
The RS422 connection (Pin 11 and 12 of the multifunction port) can be used with
either of the following configurations:
- RS422 (half-duplex): Load user modes, sensor control and transmit measurement
results (Modbus RTU or ASCII-Format).
- Synchronization/triggering: Synchronization respectively triggering using switching
signals.
Trigger, Encoder, Mode Switching
The switching inputs of the multifunction port can either be used for encoder-, trigger
input or for loading previously stored user modes.
The signal levels are switchable for all switching inputs between LLL (TTL logic) and
HLL (HTL logic):
- LLL level: Low 0 V … 0.8 V, high 2.4 V … 5 V, internal pull-up resistor 10 kΩ to 5V
- HLL level: Low 0 V … 3 V, high 11 V … 24 V (permitted to 30 V), internal pull-up
resistor 10 kΩ to 24 V
- Pulse duration: ≥ 5 µs
External Laser Switching, optional
The external laser switching-off is implemented as a hardware solution and is a top
priority. The laser can be switched off, in addition, also by software
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. 5.2.6.
With standard sensors, connecting the supply voltage activates the laser light source
in the sensor.

- The sensor supports an automatically, sensor-adapted 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
the retrieval in the link-local-net.
- The sensor scanCONTROL 25xx supports Power over Ethernet.
If the sensor is connected to a network adapter/switch that
is capable of POE and if you also use the power supply of
the multifunction port, these two power supplies have to be
galvanically isolated.
> Damage of the sensor and/or the Ethernet card!
- A fixed IP address can be assigned.
Use the program sensorFINDER to make the above-described sensor
settings. The program is available online on www.micro-epsilon.com/download/
software/SensorFinder.zip.

8. Quick Start: Commissioning, 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.com/2D_3D/laser-scan-
ner/Software/downloads/
Follow the dialog through the installa-
tion process.
A. Reading of installation help
B. Installation of software
C. Further information in the online
documentation
Connect the sensor to the PC via the optional available SCR3000A-x Ethernet
cable.
Connect the sensor to display or monitoring units.
Switch on the power supply.
The connectors for Ethernet and the multifunction port are fitted with a screw connec-
tor.
Loosen the screws before you remove the connector from the socket.
Connect the shield of the power supply cable to the PE protective earth conduc-
tor of the main power supply. Close unused connection plugs with the provided
protective caps. Switch on the power supply (24 VDC).
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 sen-
sor needs a warm-up time of typically 20 minutes for high precision measure-
ments.
Please wait until the scanCONTROL device is recognized by the PC.
This may take a few seconds.
Now you can operate the scanCONTROL measurement system with the scanCON-
TROL software packages.
iOperating a scanCONTROL sensor via Ethernet may require a modification of the IP settings of the PC/sensor or a modification of the firewall settings, see
Chap. 5.2.5 of instruction manual.

9. 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 information about the measurement.
10. 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 application integration (C, C++, C# and others)
For details how to access profile data refer to the enclosed online manual.
11. Transmitting Measurement Results
scanCONTROL 2510 offers the following options for transmitting measurement
results:
- Ethernet interface
Modbus TCP protocol
UDP protocol
Analog output of measurement values (via optional Output Unit)
Digital output of switching signals (via optional Output Unit)
Fieldbus connection Profinet, Ethernet/IP, EtherCat (via optional Gateway)
- RS422 interface
Modbus RTU protocol
Measurement value transmission in ASCII format

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

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 operation and electrical isolation in case of a short-circuit of an actor.
