Subtractive evaluation
Definition of whether evaluation is to be carried out
subtractively is made in the window shown opposite, i.e.
field B is subtracted from field A. The remaining area is then
treated as the monitored area (signalling at output Out A).
Use motor flap (only for LMS210/211):
An optional motor flap (a shutter) is available for the front
window of the LMS210/211. It is used wherever the
scanner is to carry out temporary monitoring tasks, to
improve the availability of the LMS210/211 (protecting it
against pollution, sabotage, etc.).
This function need only be activated for stand-alone
LMS210/211 units when the flap is contacted via external
data telegrams. Then the LMS210/211 unit's 24 V
switching output Out A is automatically used for shutter
movements. Out A is, of course, no longer available as a
signal output for monitored fields.
Alternatively, the flap can be moved via an external 24 V DC
control voltage. In this case the function must not be
activated and Out A continues to be available as a signal
output for monitored fields (see LMS2xx Technical
Description for further details).
5. The system now suggests accepting the configuration
and transferring the settings to the LMS2xx. All the settings
so far made can be checked again on the page view that
then follows.
If Edit fields straight away is selected the system switches
to field editing mode after transfer. The fields can then be
edited immediately, either graphically or numerically.

Fields:
Every partial field (A, B, C) can be edited (Edit...) directly
here (see also Section 11.5 "Editing fields", page 46, for
more information).
In addition, a field can be laid down in the volatile memory.
This allows fields (A, B, C) to be changed online during
operation by externally supplied information. This function
can, for example, be used for AGVs for negotiating curves
or avoiding obstacles (see LMS2xx/LMI400 Telegram
Listing for more information).
Please note:
After switching off power supply the field information in the
volatile memory is lost and must be re-entered after the
system has been restarted.
Restart:
The parameters for
- restart input
- restart delay
can be changed or checked here.

Evaluation:
The parameters for:
- multiple evaluation,
- blanking,
- subtractive evaluation, and
- use of the motor flap,
can be changed or checked again in the window shown
opposite.
Blanking:
Select the option Scan-oriented under the blanking
function. You can now enter the blanking factor directly as
an amount in "cm" (object size for objects that are not to
be detected).
Evaluation of suppressed objects:
Objects that are smaller than the blanking factor entered
above can cause a shadow to be thrown in the sensor field
without being noticed (e.g. as an attempt at sabotage). A
supplementary evaluation can be implemented so that such
objects can nonetheless be detected: all detected objects
below the entered threshold are evaluated via a separately
adjustable reading cycle and their continuing existence is
reported.
In the window opposite you can enter the number of
reading cycles for this purpose.
Please note:
The number of reading cycles must always be higher than
the value entered under multiple evaluation.

Extras:
Sensitivity may only be changed in exceptional
circumstances (see the LMS2xx Technical Description for
sensitivities/response behaviour).
The "High sensitivity" setting improves the detection of
black but also raises the sensitivity towards ambient light
and interference caused by environmental factors
(particles, etc.).
The "Low sensitivity" setting improves immunity to ambient
light but simultaneously reduces detection reliability for dark
objects.

LMI400 interface

Operating Instructions
LMSIBS Configuration Software
10 LMI400 interface
10.1 Evaluation principle
The LMI400 receives raw data from the LMS2xx connected. The LMS2xx units provide the
maximum values for their field of view.
All the monitored fields are laid down in the LMI400 and linked to the LMS2xx according to
their settings. The fields, adjusted as required, can be linked to any of the LMS2xx units
connected.
The linkage of the fields with the LMS2xx and the switching outputs is carried out in socalled evaluation cases.
The conditions under which it is to be active can be defined for each evaluation case. The
individual evaluation cases are contacted or activated via the static 24 V DC control inputs
(A, B, C, D).
The LMI400 fundamentally operates using double or triple fields (see diagram below). A
field set's component fields A, B, or A, B, C can be defined independently of one another,
though a field set can only be linked to an LMS2xx as a complete entity. It is, however,
irrelevant whether all component fields are used.
When a field set has been allocated an output, then component field A is firmly assigned
to switching output 1A or 2A, component field B to output 1B or 2B, field C to output 1C or
2C. Output 2C can be used for field evaluation or for reporting pollution.

Blanking
Contour as reference
A so-called blanking factor is defined in "cm". The blanking factor defines the minimum
object size that leads to a message at the switching outputs.
Please note: blanking is only possible in conjunction with scan-oriented evaluation (not in
conjunction with pixel-oriented evaluation see below).
This function additionally monitors the surroundings of a monitored field (background), i.e.
an object (e.g. a house wall) is constantly checked for its continued existence. If this
contour is missing the corresponding switching output is activated, even without a field
infringement. The validity range of the reference contour can be defined as required:
The minimum object size defines how many cm of a reference contour may be "missing"
before a switching signal is triggered.
The pos./neg. tolerance allows a corridor for LMS2xx measured values to take up their
tolerances or balance fluctuations in the contour (pos. = tolerance band for larger
measurement values = measurement of the contour's larger distance; neg. = tolerance
band for smaller measured values = measurement of the contour's smaller distance).
Measured values outside the corridor are evaluated as loss of contour.
This function can also be employed to prevent sabotage. Basically, the standard field
evaluation is valid outside the defined corridor.
Customer, authorised
Customer, machine operator All settings can be checked but not changed or transferred with machine operator status.
Field evaluation
To prevent erroneous switching through particles, etc. fields are evaluated using different
processes (scan-oriented or pixel-oriented see below).
Field evaluation,
pixel-oriented
With pixel-oriented field evaluation every single scanner beam is evaluated and stored
temporarily unlike the scan-oriented process. The corresponding switching signal is
triggered if infringements are repeated sequentially at the same beam (pixel). This
method is best suited for increasing availability in rain and snow.
Field evaluation,
scan-oriented
Field infringement
Changing between different field sets. In the LMS2xx either field set 1 or 2 is active, in the
LMI400 2 field sets can be activated simultaneously. The change of field set in the
LMS2xx takes place via the restart input (24 V DC static), in the LMI400 through separate
control inputs (24 V DC static).
Alternatively, field sets can also be switched via software telegram.
Field sets
Field, dynamic
Only for LMI400; field shapes and sizes can be changed automatically dependant on
shaft encoder input (e.g. speed for an AGV application).
Field, volatile
A field form can be defined and activated by external data information online via the user
interface, transfer time approx. 200 ms (volatile [temporary] as the field is lost when
power supply turned off).
Fields, subtractive

Fields, teach-in
Fields can be taught-in, when set to "segmented fields" instead of their being
programmed. The LMS2xx or LMI400 defines the entire free scanner field of view as the
monitored area. This function is extremely helpful for large fields, e.g. securing building
facades. The field limits precisely follow the contour of the surroundings and ensure the
largest possible cover. Field sections that are not required (e.g. the outermost edges),
can be deleted (cut out) in the Configuration Software in a few easy steps.
Monitored fields
Freely programmable zones (areas); objects that are detected in a field by an LMS2xx
trigger a switching signal.
Reflectivity (remission)
Resolution
The resolution of a LMS2xx shows how precisely distance values are determined and
given out. For pulse time-of-flight measurements this is basically dependent on the
counter resolution (stop watch).
Restart,
with delay
The corresponding switching output is active only after the defined delay has elapsed (if
the field is free).
Restart,
with button
The corresponding switching output is active only after the external button has been
pressed (if the field is free).
Restart, automatic
The corresponding switching output is active immediately after the field is released as
free.
Synchronisation
If LMS2xx are employed in close proximity to one another (< 6 m), under certain
unfavourable conditions scanners may cause mutual interference. Synchronisation
ensures that the mirror wheels of the two LMS2xx units correspond to one another. The
mirrors then rotate synchronously displaced by 180 . The LMSIBS Configuration Software
is used to define 1 LMS2xx as a master and the other as a slave (see Technical
Description for cable connections).
