Features of the Controller
The Controller is a device used to measure the height, width, and area of a workpiece.
It makes these measurements by irradiating laser beams onto the workpiece and receiving the reflected
light with the CCD inside the sensor.

Monitoring While Viewing the Measurement Status
It is possible to visually keep track of how a workpiece is being detected on the monitor screen.
It is also possible to output the displayed profile (distribution of height measurement values) to a
PC.
Twelve Types of Measurement Items
The Controller allows selection from 12 different measurement items, such as height, width, and
cross-sectional area, according to the specific purpose.
Simultaneous measurement of up to 8 items can be performed.

Basic Operations
Starting Controller and Displaying Profile
When the Controller is started up, the monitor displays the detection status.This is referred to as profile
(plotted height information).
No profile is displayed if the workpiece is not placed within the measurement range of the sensor.
Place the workpiece and adjust the sensor position while monitoring the displayed image.
1. Check that the basic components have been connected correctly.
Before connecting components or wiring power supply lines and grounding wires, be sure to refer to
the relevant section in Setup Manual.
Page 15 in Setup Manual
2. Turn the power supply to the monitor on.
3. Turn the power supply to the Controller on.
