3 Product description
3.1 Product characteristics
The distance sensor consists of the optics, a sender/receiver unit and an evaluation
unit.
The device emits invisible, infrared laser beam pulses. The receiver receives the
reflected light from an object or a reflector. The evaluation electronics evaluate the dis‐
tance between the sensor and reflector/object using time-of-flight measurement.
The device supports two measuring modes.
•Axial object tracking: Reflector/object move along the laser beam.
•Lateral entry of the object: Reflector/object move perpendicular to the laser beam.
Parameter presettings simplify device configuration for the respective measuring mode.
The object distance and speed (can be configured) determined is transmitted over the
serial interface (switchable: RS-422/SSI). The analog signal output converts the dis‐
tance value into a 4 mA to 20 mA current output signal proportional to the distance.
Digital switching outputs can be used to monitor when configured thresholds/distance
values have been reached. The “Distance to the object” and “Window” switching func‐
tions are supported for doing so. In addition, digital switching outputs can monitor
when configured thresholds have been reached and thereby the speed of the measur‐
ing object to the distance sensor.
A visible alignment laser facilitates installation/alignment of the device with the reflec‐
tor/object.
The measurement technology is designed for indoor and outdoor applications. For such
applications, the device must be protected from environmental factors. Measured dis‐
tance values can be visualized and parameter settings can be made using the graphi‐
cal touch-display. Alternatively, the device can be configured using the SOPAS ET user
interface (PC) (via Ethernet and a web server). For more information visit:

3.5.2 SSI (synchronous serial interface)
The SSI makes it possible to receive absolute information about the position using
serial data transfer. Cycles and data are transferred over the interface. The data is
transferred upon request from the control system. The cycle time and transmission rate
can be adjusted in wide limits. For this purpose, the connected control unit applies a
pulse sequence to the receiving input of the measuring device. At each positive pulse
edge, a data bit is pushed onto the measuring device's transmission line. This starts
with the highest-value bit. There is a pause of at least 30 µs between two pulse
sequences. The bit pulse is between 70 kHz and 500 kHz and is dependent on the

3.5.3 RS-422 interface
You can read out the measured data and the defined operating data as well as change
the parameters using the distance measuring device's RS-422 serial interface. All data
is transmitted as ASCII characters. Measured data such as distance or combined dis‐
tance/speed values and operating data such as the internal temperature are transfer‐
red upon request. Distance values, the combined distance, speed and service values
can be transferred in a continuous data stream.
3.5.3.1 General Information
The serial interface makes it possible to read out measured values and other defined
operating data and defined parameter data on the device. All data is transmitted as
ASCII characters. The syntax of the communication protocol corresponds to the specifi‐
cation of the SOPAS CoLa-A protocol.
The device can be configured so that distance values and selected combined data can
be output in a continuous data stream. Two different protocol types are available for
continuous output. "CRLF" and "STX/ETX". The syntax of this continuous data is based
on SICK products DL100 and DME5000.
The factory presetting of the Dx1000 is:
•Protocol type: CRLF
•Output of measured values: on request
•Baud rate: 115K2, 8n1 with a resolution of 1 mm
3.5.3.2 Protocol type and data for continuous output
A non-volatile configuration in the output mode and the selected protocol type is possi‐
ble. Depending on the protocol selected, the Dx1000 transmits a continuous data
stream, as shown below:
•CRLF protocol type:
The data fields are completed by the non-displayable ASCII characters <CR>
(0x38) and <LF> (0x35). These also act as separators in the data stream.
•STX/ETX protocol type:
The data fields are integrated in the non-displayable ASCII characters <STX>
(0x02) and <ETX> (0x03). The first four characters of the data field have a con‐
stant pre-assignment for compatibility reasons.

3.5.3.3 Commands
All varieties and methods which are also accessible via the display can be read, written
or executed via the RS-422- interface in the SOPAS CoLa-A protocol. A selection of com‐
mands is displayed here.
3.5.3.3.1 Setting authorization for parameter change
If parameters are to be changed, the user must activate the access mode ("log in").
Changes become active when the access mode is set back to "Run" ("log out"). Perma‐
nent storage of the changed parameters requires a special command to be executed,
see "Special functions", page 21.
The "Activate access mode" function ends continuous data output. The "Deactivate
access mode" function restarts continuous data output.
