2 Introduction
2.1 Device Summary
Swift-E is a reconfigurable 3D sensor. It uses time-of-flight technology
to measure the distance to each and every one of 640 × 480 individual
distance points within the sensing area (over 300,000 points in total).
The Web Connect interface allows creation of arbitrary shaped selections of
distance points - each selection of points is called a Virtual Sensing Zone
(VSZ). Virtual Sensing Zones are arranged on a template . Templates can
be defined either as a distance templates or height templates. Swift-E mea-
sures either the mean distance to each VSZ, or the mean height measured
from the reference (reference is captured during configuration).
Capability to store up to 255 unique templates, each with up to 64 VSZ.
Over EtherNet/IP
TM
networking, Swift-E delivers the measurement for each
VSZ directly into the controller. The controller is able to define which tem-
plate to use, allowing it to reconfigure the sensing area as required. That
is, the controller is able to make decisions based on a user-defined VSZ
arrangement.
2.2 Quick Start
To prepare the Swift-E reconfigurable 3D sensor to work on an EtherNet/IP
network, it is necessary to complete the following steps:
1. Mount the Swift-E (Section 3.4)
2. Connect the power and network cables (Sections 3.1 and 3.3)
3. Ensure computer or laptop has an Ethernet interface configured in the
192.168.1.xx subnet (Section 3.10)
4. Use Web Connect interface to configure (Chapter 4)
5. Add the device to a Rockwell Automation Studio 5000
R

application
and connect a Logix 5000TM controller (Chapter 5)
After successfully completing these steps it will be possible to configure
Swift-E via a Web Connect browser session, and connect the device to an
Allen-Bradley R
Logix 5000 controller.

2.4 Swift-E and Time-of-Flight (ToF) Technology
Swift-E uses time-of-flight technology to measure distance to each and
every individual distance point within the sensing area.
The principle of operation is as follows:
1. A very short flash of invisible infrared light (850 nm wavelength) is
emitted from the sensor.
2. A small amount of this light is reflected back to the device from objects
in the sensing area.
3. A lens focuses light onto the time-of-flight sensor, and the round-
trip time is measured. The speed of light is a known constant, and
therefore the round-trip distance to the object that reflected the light
can be calculated based on the time for the reflected pulse to arrive.
It is a requirement for Swift-E that light is returned
directly from the target object for optimal mea-
surement performance.
In common with many electro-optic measurement devices, objects that allow
infra-red light to: pass through (eg translucent objects like clear glass or plas-
tic bottles), reflect away (mirrored surfaces), or be absorbed entirely (dark
matte surfaces) may prove challenging. In case of such challenging objects,
an alternative method of distance measurement should be employed.
2.4.1 Effect of Ambient Light
The effect of ambient light from normal indoor lighting sources is not de-
tectable in the measurement provided by Swift-E .
5 of 53 OIE1-UM001B-EN-P

However, in some cases, direct sunlight on the sensing area may introduce
an error in the measurement. For installations where measurement accuracy
is critical, and there is a chance of direct sunlight, then it is recommended
that a shade is introduced.
Where there are multiple Swift-E devices in the same area, care should be
taken that the sensing areas are well separated to avoid cross-talk between
the devices. In these situations, it may be possible to pause the illumination
while a device is not actively measuring (see section 5.3.2 for more details).

3.1 Connections
The sensor should be powered with an industrial 12 V / 5 A (min) DC
power supply via the 4–pin M12 power connector (figure 3.1 and table 3.1).
EtherNet/IPTM connection to host is via RJ45.
IMPORTANT: Swift-E requires a 12 VDC power
supply.

3.2 Grounding and Power Requirements
The GROUND / 0 V / negative power input to the Swift-E should normally
be connected to earth ground. It is directly connected to the metal housing
of the Swift-E for shielding purposes, as well as the shells of all connectors.
If there is a concern for ground loops in the application, it is recommended
to keep the connection from the power supply to Swift-E short, and consider
disconnecting the shield of the Ethernet cable at the opposite end, if the
connected equipment also has a low-ohmic d.c. connection to ground. If
there is a suspicion of noise problems in operation, besides keeping power
cables short, and using shielded cables where possible, clip-on ferrites
applied near the Swift-E unit can be a simple and cost-effective solution.
To ensure stability is provided in the 12 VDC supply to Swift-E , it is rec-
ommended that both +12 VDC and ground are connected directly to the
power supply. Power requirements for Swift-E may vary based on the illumi-
nation settings, in addition there can be a requirement to support up to 50%
inrush on power-up, it is therefore recommended that a power supply of
sufficient rating is used (60 W or greater), for example, the Allen-Bradley
R

1606–XLP90B power supply.
It may also be useful to refer to Rockwell Automation Industrial Automation
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1.
3.3 EtherNet/IP wiring
To comply with the limits for a Class A digital de-
vice pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of the FCC
Rules, it is required that a shielded ethernet cable
is used.
A suitable gigabit Ethernet cable (e.g. CAT5E or CAT6) must be used with
Swift-E . For best immunity to RFI in noisy environments, and to minimize
any radiated RF emission from the unit, a shielded Ethernet cable (e.g.
S/FTP type) is recommended, and may be required for compliance with
EMC regulations in some cases. A range of suitable cables is available from
Allen-Bradley (https://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Connection-Devices/RJ45-
Network-Media#selection).

It may also be useful to refer to the ODVA EtherNet/IP Media Planning &
Installation Manual.
3.4 Mounting
Swift-E supports two different methods of mounting:
1. The sensor has sixteen M4 threaded screw holes for flexible attach-
ment to a structure (figure 3.2)
2. An optional tripod mount plate accessory (part number: OI-TMOUNT)
can be ordered. The mount plate offers a standard 1/4
00
UNC tripod
thread for attaching to any standard camera mounting device.
Figure 3.2: Location of M4 mounting points (distances in mm)
M4.0 x 5 DEEP
4 POSITIONS
M4.0 x 5 DEEP
4 POSITIONS
For initial evaluation, the Swift-E can be mounted using a flexible approach
(e.g. clamp or camera grip) and the tripod mount accessory (OI-TMOUNT),
as this will allow optimization of the setup.
For permanent mounting, use of a custom mount is recommended. This
can be appropriately designed to provide a robust solution according to
the application requirements. Direct mounting onto a metal structure will
also assist with dissipation of heat from the Swift-E housing. Note that the
housing may become warm or even hot to touch - this is perfectly normal.
CAD files are available for download from https://www.odos-imaging.com/
literature/.
3.5 Height Requirements and Field-of-View
When positioned perpendicular to a surface, the Swift-E sensing area is a
rectangle. The width of the rectangle is approximately 0.8 × height from
Swift-E to surface. The height of the rectangle is approximately 0.6 × height
from Swift-E to surface.
Due to optical limitations, measurement reliability in the center will be better
than at the extremeties and corners of the sensing area.

6.0 m 24.8 m 3.6 m 6.0×6.0 cm
1. Minimum recommended detectable object area is based on the ability to accurately
position a Virtual Sensing Zone consisting of 8 × 8 individual distance points using zoom
feature in Web Connect (section 4.10.3).
2. Maximum operating range is 6 m (approximately 20 ft), however at longer operating
ranges (greater than 3 m or 10 ft), quality of measurement may be reduced.
In summary, the greater the distance between Swift-E and target objects,
the larger the sensing area. This is depicted in figure 3.3.

Illumination may ‘spill’ beyond this area, therefore
care should be taken if Swift-E devices are to be
positioned in proximity to each other.
3.6 Device Positioning
Figure 3.4: Example mounting options
Swift-E should be mounted no closer than 0.5 m (approximately 1.5 ft) to
the target object(s). Maximum operating range is 6 m (approximately 20 ft),
however at longer operating ranges (greater than 3 m or 10 ft), quality of
measurement may be reduced.
In general, the sensor can be mounted using the most suitable method for
the application. In some circumstances (particularly with highly reflective
target objects) signal light generated by the sensor may be reflected directly
back to the device (which can cause saturation of the time-of-flight measure-
ment - section 4.10.11). In such situations, it may be necessary to mount
the device at a slight angle (e.g. 10◦) with respect to the target objects.
Further consideration may have to be taken due to changes in the measure-
ments as a result of the change in application geometry (that is, any target
plane will be at an angle with respect to the Swift-E - in these applications it
may be most useful to use height based templates - section 4.10.10).
3.6.1 Optimal Mounting Configurations
Any unwanted material or object that is within the field-of-view of Swift-E
(where the sensing area is the base of a pyramid shape) can cause un-
wanted reflections to occur, potentially introducing error to the measurement.
If possible, no objects other than the target objects and background should
be within the pyramid. If this is not possible, then ensure any large objects
are fixed, and use height templates where possible.

Figure 3.5: Ensure mounting avoids possibility for unwanted reflections
3.7 Object Shadowing
Like many optical sensors, objects closer to Swift-E can block the view of
objects further away, preventing possibility of a measurement from the more
distant object. Similarly, objects on the same plane, and close to the external
border of the sensing area may produce a shadow over smaller objects
further towards the extremity.
3.8 Object Parameters
3.8.1 Size
Consideration should be taken with regard to the size of the object to be
measured. Small objects might present challenges even at short distances.
In general, the larger the object, the easier it will be to create proper VSZs
and for Swift-E to make accurate measurements. If the size of the object is
such that it requires very small VSZs, the number of individual sensing points
to be used for the measurement will be low and the quality of measurement
may be compromised. Even if an object is large, mounting Swift-E too far
away could result in small VSZ, therefore running into the same challenge.
Minimum detectable object areas are shown in table 3.3. The larger the
VSZ over the object, the more accurate the measurement.
In presence or absence applications, for optimal reliability it is recommended
that a measurable difference of 3 — 4 cm is allowed between the object
surface (present state) and the surface from where the object needs to be
discerned - the background (absent state).
3.8.2 Motion
Swift-E is also suitable for use in applications where the objects are moving
(e.g. conveyor belts). However, in these applications, there are several
considerations:
1. The size of the object will affect the capability of Swift-E to measure
while it is moving. The larger the object, the smaller the impact of
movement on the object.
2. The speed of movement will have an impact on the timing of the
measurement. Since this is strongly dependent on each particular
12 of 53 OIE1-UM001B-EN-P

situation, we recommend the use of a variable timer to control the
time between object detection (e.g. using a photoelectric sensor) and
measurement trigger. In many cases, Swift-E is capable of measuring
objects moving at average conveyor belt speeds (around 1 m/s or
200 ft/min). Measurement or detection of faster objects may be more
reliable if the Swift-E can be positioned further from the belt (effectively
slowing the lateral speed of the object across the sensing area).
3. It may also be possible to develop a template and a controller program
to allow Swift-E to self trigger (that is, for the controller to select a
particular template, based on the result of a measurement change
identified in another template - this will require some custom code in
the controller).
4. In some cases, patterned or textured objects can be more difficult
for Swift-E to measure accurately when moving. In this case, it is
recommended to configure the VSZ on an area of the object that is
uniform, if possible (e.g. for a moving carton, configure the VSZ on a
blank area, not on any label or logos).
3.9 Status Indicators
Swift-E has a single, multicolor Status LED on the rear of the housing
plus dual communication status LEDs at the bottom of the RJ45 Ethernet
connector.

3.10 Network Setup
3.10.1 IP Address and Subnet
When connecting with a Swift-E device for the first time, it is necessary that
the computer is on the same subnet as the device. Swift-E ships by default
with the following configuration:
•IP Address: 192.168.1.40
•Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Swift-E can only be used with static IP addressing.
Neither BOOTP or DHCP protocols are supported.
The IP address identifies each node on the Ethernet network (or system of
connected networks). Each TCP/IP node on a network must have a unique
IP address.
The IP address is 32 bits long and has a Net ID part and a Host ID part. Net-
works are classified A, B, C, or other. The class of the network determines
how an IP address is formatted.

It is possible to distinguish the class of the IP address from the first integer
in its dotted-decimal IP address as follows:
Table 3.6: Classes of IP Address
Range of First Octet Class
0...127 A
128...191 B
192...223 C
224...255 Other
Each node on the same logical network must have an IP address of the
same class and must have the same Net ID. Each node on the same network
must have a different Host ID thus giving it a unique IP address.
IP addresses are written as four decimal integers ( 0...255 ) separated by
periods where each integer gives the value of one byte of the IP address.
3.10.2 Gateway Address
If the controller in use, Swift-E and computer are
all on the same network, skip this section.
This section applies to multi-network systems. The gateway address is the
default address of a network, it provides a single domain name and point
of entry to the site. Gateways connect individual networks into a system of
networks.
When a node needs to communicate with a node on another network, a
gateway transfers the data between the two networks. Figure 3.6 shows
gateway G connecting Network 1 with Network 2.
