3 Information Before Use
3.1 General Description
The Proler 2 is a high-precision prole measurement sensor.
The characteristics of this product are shown below.
• This product achieves high-precision measurement by emitting a band-
shaped laser beam and using a light-plane-intersecting method that
triangulates the reected light.
• Settings can be congured, measurements can be performed,
and output can be generated from the sensor. No amplier unit
or other auxiliary devices are necessary.
• Various settings can be set from the sensor or from the dedicated setup
software (PRO2-navigator).
• It is possible to measure 4 areas with a single measurement. For each
area, there are 13 types of measurement functions to select from.
• There are 4 camera modes available. This enables you to select
the optimum settings to match the environment of the production line
to be measured and the state of the target object.
With the light-plane-intersecting method, the reected light from the
emitted band-shaped laser beam is received by the light receiving element
(CMOS), and the prole is then measured from the resulting image data.
With the light-plane-intersecting method, two processes are used to
determine the height and position.
• Triangulation: To determine the height, this process obtains the received
light waveform (the waveform of the reected light) for each vertical line
of the image.
• Projection transformation: To determine the horizontal position,
this process mathematically calculates the actual position from
the image data.

on the measurements.
3.4.2 Installing the Sensor
1. Insert the included mounting screws (two M4 × 50 mm screws)
into the mounting holes to temporarily ax the sensor to a location
that is roughly in the desired location.
2. Measure the distance between the sensor and the detection
target object. Please make sure the measuring object is within the
measuring area.
3. Adjust the sensor position on the basis of the measurement result,
and then use the included nuts and washers to x the screws in place.

Install the sensor such that you can perform accurate measurements
of the measurement target.
Reference: For details on the installation of the sensor, see “3.4 Installation.”
2. Wiring Connect the cables.
3. Settings Congure the settings related to measurement. You can use one of the
following methods to congure the settings.
1. Sensor
• Congure all the settings from the Proler 2.
2. PRO2-Navigator
• Use the dedicated PRO2-Navigator setup software to intuitively
view and change all the settings.
3. Serial communication
• Use RS-485 communication to view and change all the settings
of the Proler 2.
4. Measurement Perform measurements.
With the Proler 2, measurement results can be output using one of the
following methods.
1. Judgment output (control output)
• The Proler 2 is equipped with three judgment outputs (control outputs).
2. Analog current output (4 to 20 mA)
3. Serial communication (RS-485 communication)
4. PRO2-Navigator (monitor display of measured values)
Tips: • Serial communication or PRO2-Navigator is required to output and check
stored data.

• The prole (the sectional prole made by the reected laser light)
is acquired from the image.
4. Area measurement
• The specied position within the prole is measured.
5. Area calculation
• If necessary, the measured result of the area is calculated. e. g. Area
1 – Area 2 = Calc 1)
6. Result judgment and output
• The measured result is compared against the threshold, and then the
judgment result is output.
Tips: • With the Proler 2, you can save settings related to measurements
in “banks.” Up to eight banks can be saved.

1. Set the shutter time Position the measurement target, and then perform automatic adjustment.
The optimum shutter time will be set.
2. Set the area Use the area setting to specify what part you will measure and how that
part will be measured.
1. Measurement area
• Set what part within the measurement range will be measured.
The set area must intersect the prole (the sectional waveform).
2. Measurement function
• Set the measurement function. You can select from functions
such as height and width.
Reference: For details on the area settings, see “7.6 Area Settings.”
3. Set the output conditions Congure the settings related to the output of the measured results.
First, specify the judgment and output target area.
• Output target
Select the target area (area 1 to area 4 and calculation 1 and
calculation 2).
1. Measurement output
The product judges whether the measurement is a pass or a fail,
and then outputs the result.
• Upper limit/lower limit
2. Analog current output (4 to 20 mA)
• 4 mA/20 mA
Set the lower and upper limits of the analog output range.
