Additional Technical Information

The MSE-LT205HT Laser Distance Measurement Sensor is extremely versatile and can be programmed to operate in various distance measurements modes either remotely controlled or automatically, using a PC or a host computer or as a stand alone microprocessor device. The MSE-LT205HT is provided with LDMTool PC software that allows the user to communicate with the laser via a serial link and to set the lasers various parameters.

Other programming parameter features include:
The MSE-LT205HT Sensor can be programmed with a scale factor which allows the sensor to measure in mm, cm, m, inches, feet, yards or a user programmable scale.
The MSE-LT205HT Sensor can be programmed with a distance offset which allows the sensor to measure from a zero point that is different than the zero point inside of the sensor. Also the sensor can be programmed by a software command so that the distance currently being measured is set as the distance offset.
The MSE-LT205HT Sensor can be programmed in a level mode so that the distance being measured is outputted from an empty condition to a full or overflow condition.
The zero and span of the 4-20mA analog output of the MSE-LT205HT Sensor can also be programmed via software.

The distance measurement of the MSE-LT205HT can be controlled in these various modes of operation:

1. Manually with a PC using HyperTerminal, a terminal emulation program or the provided LDMTool software via the RS232 or the optional RS422/RS485 serial interface

2. Manually by transmitting ASCII characters via the RS232 or the optional RS422/RS485 serial interface from a PLC, a PC, a host computer or a stand alone microprocessor device.

3. Automatically as a stand alone device and programmed to start in the AutoStart mode.

4. Continuously by selecting distance tracking mode

5. Remotely controlled by using the external trigger

6. Remotely controlled via the serial interface

Distance measurement can be monitored in different ways:

1. Using the 4 - 20 mA Analog Output

2. Data transfer using the RS232 serial interface

3. Data transfer using the optional RS422/RS485 serial interface

4. Data transfer using the optional ProfiBus, Profinet or the Ethernet TCP/IP FieldBus Interface.

Optional equipment: includes an external ProfiBus DP Gateway Interface Box, an external ProfiBus DP interface box, an external ProfiNet interface box, an external DeviceNet interface box, an external Ethernet TCP/IP interface box, an external Ethernet/IP Interface box, an external Junction Boxes, and various external AC to DC Power Supplies.

Also available is an HMI/Controller that allows connection and communication with one (1) or two (2) MSE-LT205HT Laser Distance Measurement Sensors for programming and displaying of distance measurement, length measurement, product presence. or product position, and with (2) lasers connected can be used to calculate and display the width, length or thickness of hot or cold product.
