1.4 Intended Use
- The scanCONTROL 30xx sensor is designed for use in industrial applications.
- It is used for
Profile measurement
Length measurement
Quality monitoring and inspection of dimensions
- The sensor must only be operated within the limits specified in the technical data, see Chap. 3.2.
- The sensor must be used in such a way that no persons are endangered or machines and other material
goods are damaged in the event of malfunction or total failure of the system/sensor/controller.
- Take additional precautions for safety and damage prevention in case of safety-related applications.
1.5 Proper Environment
- Protection class for sensors: IP 67 (applies only when connected output connectors respectively protec-
tive caps)
- Temperature range
Operation: 0 ... +45 °C (+32 ... +113 °F) (with free air circulation)
Storage: -20 ... +70 °C (-4 ... +158 °F)
- Ambient pressure: Atmospheric pressure
- Humidity: 5 - 95 % (non condensing)
The protection class does not apply for the optical sections during operation as their soiling / contamination
results in adversely affecting or failure of the function.
Only use shielded cables or original cables from the range of accessories for the connection to a power
supply and for the outputs.
Note also the assembly and installation instructions, see Chap. 5.
The IP 67 protection class is a specification which is limited to the protection with respect to dust and water.
Oil, steam and emulsion penetration are not included in this protection class and must be tested separately.

2. Laser Safety
2.1 General
The scanCONTROL 30xx sensors operate with a
semiconductor laser having a wavelength of 658 nm
(visible/red) or a semiconductor laser having a wave-
length of 405 nm (visible/blue). The laser operation is
indicated visually by the LED on the sensor.
When operating the scanCONTROL 30xx sensors,
the relevant regulations according to IEC 60825, Part
1 of 05/2014 and the applicable accident prevention
regulations must be followed.
The housings of the scanCONTROL 30xx optical
sensors must only be opened by authorized persons,
see Chap. 9. For repair and service, the sensors
should always be returned to the manufacturer.
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 German-speaking countries an IEC stan-
dard label is included in delivery and the versions ap-
plicable to the user’s country must be applied before
the equipment is used for the first time.
iIf both information labels are hidden in the installed state, the user must ensure that addi-
tional labels are fitted at the point of installation.

2.2 Laser Class 2M
scanCONTROL 30xx sensors with a maximum laser power up to 10 mW, see Chap. 3.2, are classified in
Laser Class 2M (IIM).
Accordingly, the following applies: With laser equipment of the Class 2M, the eye is not put in danger during
random, short-term exposure to the laser radiation, i.e. exposure duration up to 0.25 s. A direct glimpse into
the beam can be dangerous if the eye-closure reflex is deliberately suppressed, e.g. during adjustment.
Direct viewing into the beam with optical aids, e.g. a magnifying glass, is dangerous.
Laser equipment of the Class 2M can be employed without further protective measures, when deliberate
viewing into the laser beam or into a beam reflected by mirrors is not longer than 0.25 s. Since generally the
presence of the eye-closure reflex should not be assumed, one should close the eyes or immediately turn
away if the laser radiation impinges on the eye.

2.3 Laser Class 3R
The laser is pulsed, the maximum optical power is ≤ 30 mW. The pulse frequency depends on the measuring
rate set (0 … 25 kHz). The pulse duration of the peaks is regulated depending on the measuring rate.
The sensors fall within laser class 3R. The accessible laser radiation is harmful to the eyes, directly looking
into the laser radiation must be avoided at any time. Reflections of shiny or mirroring surfaces are also harm-
ful to the eyes. Class 3R lasers require a laser protection officer.
i
Laser radiation is harmful to the eyes. Do not stare deliberately into the laser beam! Close your eyes or
immediately turn away if the laser beam hits the eye.
Attach the following warning labels to the cover (front side) of the sensor housing:

Functional Principle, Technical Data

3. Functional Principle, Technical Data
3.1 Short Description
3.1.1 Measuring Principle
The scanCONTROL 30xx sensor operates ac-
cording to the principle of optical triangulation
(light intersection method):
- A laser line is projected onto the target
surface via a linear optical system.
- The diffusely reflected light from the laser
line is replicated on a sensor matrix by a
high quality optical system and evaluated
in two dimensions.
The laser line triangulation corresponds in
principle to the triangulation of a laser point.
In addition, during the measurement a row
of lines are simultaneously illuminated by the
laser line. Apart from the distance informa-
tion (Z-axis), the exact position of each point
on the laser line (X-axis) is also acquired and
output by the system. Measuring range
X-axis (profile width)
Measuring
range Z-axis
(profile height)
3.1.2 System Setup
The scanCONTROL 30xx sensor is a compact sensor with an integrated controller. All necessary integral
parts are combined in one housing.

Page 14
Functional Principle, Technical Data
scanCONTROL 30xx
3.1.3 Special Performance Features
- scanCONTROL 30xx features speed and compact design with simultaneously high measurement accu-
racy. A special line-scanning optical system ensures uniform exposure of the measuring field.
- The sensor matrix is arranged in the sensor head according to the Scheimpflug condition which facilitates
uniform image focusing over the whole depth of the measurement range (Z-axis).
- The scanCONTROL 30xx series with integrated profile analysis works even without a PC in conjunction
with saved configurations. The sensor runs the profile measurement internally and calculates default mea-
sured values such as angle or edge position.
Besides measurement value output via Ethernet (Modbus TCP protocol, UDP protocol) and RS422 (Mod-
bus RTU protocol or ASCII format), additional switching signals (results of the determination of limit values)
and analog measurement values can be output. This is done by an optional scanCONTROL Output Unit,
which transforms the determined measurement signals in switching and analog signals for further process-
ing in a PLC.
- scanCONTROL Gateway allows for scanCONTROL SMART sensors to be integrated into various fieldbus
systems (Profinet, Ethernet IP, EtherCat).
3.1.4 Advantages of the Used Sensor Matrix (Difference to Conventional Line Scanners)
- A global shutter (high speed shutter) for the whole profile enables a high profile accuracy for fast applica-
tions without “tilting”.
- The matrix enables the simultaneous exposure and reading of the previous image. Thus the exposure time
is longer at the same profile frequency. With it also dark objects can be measured with a high rate.
- The High Dynamic Range mode (HDR) provides optimal measuring data on difficult target surfaces.
3.1.5 Further Features
- External synchronization and triggering
- Serial interface (RS422) for communication with PLC or PC
- Digital switching inputs, selectable TTL or HTL (selectable Pull-up or Pull down behaviour)
- The automatic control of the exposure time enables consistent measurement results with changing sur-
faces. This function can be switched off on request.
- Ethernet 100/1000 Mbit as fast standard connection to PC

5. Installation and Mounting
5.1 Attachment and Mounting
- using 2 or 3 screws M5, screwed directly
- using 2 or 3 screws M4, screwed pushed through
Depending on the installation position, it is recommended to define the sensor position using centering ele-
ments and fitting bores.
The cylindrical counterbore ø8H7 is intended for the position-defining centering elements. This allows for the
sensor to be mounted in a reproducible and exchangeable way.
The mounting dimensions refer to the dimensional drawings.
Pay attention to careful handling during mounting and operation.
> Damage to or destruction of the sensor
The laser beam must strike the target surface at right angles. Otherwise, inaccurate measurements cannot be
excluded.
Mount the sensor by means of screws type M5 or by means of through bores for M4.
