Microsonic pico+15/TF/F User manual

Product description
The pico+ sensor offers a non-contact
measurement of the distance to an
object which must be positioned
within the sensor’s detection zone.
The switching output is set conditional
upon the adjusted detect distance.
The ultrasonic transducer surface of
the pico+ sensors is laminated with a
PTFE film. The transducer itself is
sealed against the housing by a joint
ring. This composition permits measu-
rement in up to 0.5 bar over pressure.
Via the Teach-in procedure, the detect
distance and operating mode can be
adjusted. Two LEDs indicate the state
of the switching output.
IO-Link
The pico+ sensor is IO-Link-capable in
accordance with IO-Link specification
V1.1 and supports Smart Sensor Pro-
file like Digital Measuring Sensor. The
sensor can be monitored and parame-
terised via IO-Link.
Safety Notes
Ԏ
Read the operating manual prior
to start-up.
ԎConnection, installation and ad-
justments may only be carried
out by qualified staff.
Ԏ
No safety component in ac-
cordance with the EU Machine
Directive, use in the area of per-
sonal and machine protection
not permitted.
Proper Use
pico+ ultrasonic sensors are used for
non-contact detection of objects.
Installation
Î
Mount the sensor at the place of
fitting.
For the pico+100/TF/F/A we recom-
mend not to use for mounting the
first 5 mm of the M22 thread on the
side of the transducer.
ÎConnect a connection cable to the
M12 device plug, see Fig. 1.

Operating modes
Three operating modes are available
for the switching output:
Ԏ
Operation with one switching
point
The switching output is set when
the object falls below the set swit-
ching point.
ԎWindow mode
The switching output is set when
the object is within the window li-
mits.
ԎTwo-way reflective barrier
The switching output is set when
the object is between sensor and
fixed reflector.
Synchronisation
If the assembly distance of multiple
sensors falls below the values shown
in Fig. 2, the internal synchronisation
should be used (»Sync« must be swit-
ched on, see Diagram 1). For this pur-
pose set the switching output of all
sensors in accordance with Diagram 1.
Finally interconnect each pin 5 of the
sensors to be synchronised.

Fig. 2: Assembly distances.
Maintenance
microsonic sensors are maintenance-
free. In case of excess caked-on dirt
we recommend cleaning the white
sensor surface.
Notes
Ԏ
The sensors of the pico+ family
have a blind zone, within which a
distance measurement is not possi-
ble.
Ԏ
The pico+ sensors are equipped
with an internal temperature com-
pensation. Due to the sensors self
heating, the temperature compen-
sation reaches its optimum wor-
king-point after approx. 120 se-
conds of operation.
ԎIn the normal operating mode, an
illuminated yellow LED signals that
the switching output is switched
through.
ԎThe pico+ sensors have a push-pull
switching output.
ԎIn the »Two-way reflective barrier«
operating mode, the object has to
be within the range of 0-85 % of
the set distance.
ԎIn the »Set detect point – method
A« Teach-in procedure the actual
distance to the object is taught to
the sensor as the detect point. If the
object moves towards the sensor
(e.g. with level control) then the
taught distance is the level at which
the sensor has to switch the output
(see Fig. 3).

ԎIf the object to be scanned moves
into the detection area from the
side, the »Set detect point +8 % –
method B« Teach-in procedure
should be used. In this way the swit-
ching distance is set 8 % further
than the actual measured distance
to the object. This ensures a reliable
switching distance even if the
height of the objects varies slightly
(see Fig. 3).

detection zones
for different objects:
The dark grey areas represent the
zone where it is easy to recognise
the normal reflector (round bar).
This indicates the typical operating
range of the sensors. The light
grey areas represent the zone
where a very large reflector – for
instance a plate – can still be re-
gognised. The requirement here is
for an optimum alignment to the
sensor. It is not possible to evalua-
te ultrasonic reflections outside
this area.

IO-Link mode
IO-Link mode
The pico+ sensors are IO-Link capable
in accordance with IO-Link specifica-
tion V1.0.
Notes
ԎIn IO-Link mode Teach-in, LinkCon-
trol and synchronisation via pin 5
are not available.
ԎIn IO-Link mode, pin 5 must not be
connected to any potential.
Î
For current information about IO-
Link please contact the microsonic
sales department.
Synchronisation in IO-Link mode
In IO-Link mode each sensor is syn-
chronised on the protocol of the IO-
Link master. In multiple sensor opera-
tion the sensors are synchronous if the
master protocols are synchronous.
Process data
The pico+ cyclically transmits the mea-
sured distance value with a resolution
of 0,1 mm and the state of the swit-
ching output.
Service data
The following sensor parameters may
be set via IO-Link interface using the
IO-Link device description (IODD).
Detect point 1
The switching output is activated
when the distance to an object is un-
der that of the present detect point.
Return detect point 1
The switching output is reactivated
when the distance to an object is gre-
ater than the present return detect
point (detect point + hysteresis).
Note
The return detect point 1 must always
be greater than the detect point 1.
Detect point 2, return detect
point 2
By programming these two detect di-
stances the window mode is activated.
Note
The return detect point 2 must always
be smaller than the detect point 2.
ԎF02:
Average value filter, forms the arith-
metic mean across a number of
measurements. The output is acti-
vated in keeping with the average
value. The number of measure-
ments, from which the average va-
lue is formed, depends on the selec-
ted filter strength.
Filter strength
A filter strength between 0 (weak filter
effect) and 9 (pronounced filter effect)
can be selected for each measurement
filter.
Foreground suppression
Spurious reflections, caused by objects
in the foreground of the sensor, may
be blocked out by the foreground sup-
pression.
Notes
Î
Check that the object in the fore-
ground does not cause multiple
reflections.
NOC/NCC operation
The NCC or NOC output function can
be present for the switching output.
Measurement filter
pico+ ultrasonic sensors provide for a
choice of 3 filter settings:
ԎF00:
No filter, each ultrasonic measure-
ment acts in an unfiltered manner
on the output.
ԎF01:
Standard filter, on the object conti-
nuously approaching the sensor, the
ongoing interval is immediately ta-
ken on and the output correspon-
dingly activated. The effect of the
object abruptly moving away from
the sensor is for the existing dis-
tance to be saved for a retaining
time dependent on the filter
strength and for the switching out-
put state to be maintained.
Î
Make sure that the sensor is not
covered by the interfering object to
such an extent that the detection
range is influenced.
System commands
With 4 system commands the fol-
lowing settings may be carried out:
ԎTeach-in detect point – method A
ԎTeach-in detect point – method B
ԎTeach-in two way reflective barrier
ԎReset sensor to factory settings
Notes
To achieve the maximum resolution
the Master Cycle Time has to comply
with the following requirements:
Ԏ
Min Cycle Time ≤Master Cycle
Time ≤Min Cycle Time + 1.2 ms.
Ԏ
If this condition can not be fullfilled,
sporadic discontinuities of the mea-
surement value can occur. In this
case the Master Cycle Time has to
be increased in 400 µs steps until
the discontinuities of the measure-
ment disappear.
Note
If the pico+ sensor was set using
Teach-in or LinkControl it is recom-
mended to reset the sensor to the
factory setting prior to using it in IO-
Link mode (see »Further settings«).
