scanCONTROL 2610/2660/2910/2960

5. Laser Safety
The scanCONTROL 26xx/29xx 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
scanCONTROL 26xx/29xx sensors with a maximum laser power up to 8 mW are clas-
sified in Laser Class 2M (IIM). The following information labels are fitted to the sensor
housing (front and rear side). If 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
scanCONTROL 26xx/29xx sensors with a maximum laser power up to 50 mW are
classified in Laser Class 3B (IIIB).
When using lasers of 3B class appropriate protective glasses
are necessarily! Injury of the eyes and the skin by laser radia-
tion!
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):
IEC 60825-1: 2015-07
P
 50mW, P  50mW;
0 P
 = 658nm; F = 0...4kHz, t = 1µs...∞
Warning- Laser radiation
Avoid exposure to beam
Class 3B Laser Product
iSensors of Laser Class 3B (IIIB) need an external key
switch 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.

either of the following configurations:
- RS422 (half-duplex): Load user modes, sensor control and transmission of
measurement results (Modbus RTU or ASCII format).
- Synchronization/triggering: Synchronization respectively triggering using switching
signals.

- 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 26xx/29xx 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“ delivered on the CD, to make the above-de-
scribed sensor settings.

Trigger, Encoder, Mode Switching
The switching inputs of the multifunction port can either be used for encoder input, for
trigger input or for loading 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 to 5 V
- HLL level: Low 0 V … 3 V, high 11 V … 24 V (permitted to 30 V), internal pull-up 10
kΩ to 24 V
- Pulse duration: ≥ 5 µs

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.
11. Further Information
Please refer to
- the enclosed online manual
- the section “Status and Error Messages“ and “Notes“ in the scanCONTROL Con-
figuration Tools 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 manu-
als online or on the provided CD.

12. Quick Start: Commissioning, Software
Install the software.
Please insert the scanCONTROL Config-
uration Tools CD in the CD-ROM device.
Follow the dialog through the installation
process.
A. Reading of installation help
B. Installation of software
C. Further informations in the online
documentation
Mount the sensor according to the installation instructions.
Connect the sensor to the PC via the Ethernet cable.
Connect the sensor to display or monitoring units.
Connect the sensor to the power supply.
The connectors for Ethernet and the multifunction port are fitted with an Escha screw
connector.
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 scanCONTROL
Configuration Tools.
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.
