microsonic mic+25/DD/TC Mic+ Ultrasonic Sensors with Two Switching

Outputs

Product Description

The mic+ sensor is an ultrasonic sensor with two switching outputs. It is used for the non-contact detection of objects. The sensor has a blind zone in which distance measurement is not possible. The operating range indicates the distance of the sensor that can be applied with normal reflectors with sufficient function reserve. Objects that strongly absorb (e.g. plastic foam) or diffusely reflect sound (e.g. pebble stones) can also reduce the defined operating range.

product Safety Notes

Read the operating instructions prior to start-up. Connection, installation, and adjustment works may only be carried out by expert personnel. No safety component in accordance with the EU Machine Directive, use in the area of personal and machine protection not permitted.

product Proper Use

The mic+ ultrasonic sensors are used for the non-contact detection of objects. The sensors should be used by expert personnel only.

Measuring Range
The mic+ sensors have a 3-digit LED-display LED D1 and D2 for setting switching output D1 and D2. The sensors have push-buttons T1 and T2 for setting detect distance in mm or cm.

product Synchronization
If the assembly distances shown in Fig. 1 for two or more sensors are exceeded, integrated synchronization should be used. Connect Sync/Comchannels (pin 5 at the units receptacle) of all sensors (10 maximum).

product Maintenance

mic+ sensors work maintenance-free. Small amounts of dirt on the surface do not influence function. Thick layers of dirt and caked-on dirt affect sensor function and therefore must be removed.

Usage Instructions

1. Read the operating instructions prior to start-up.
2. Connection, installation, and adjustment works may only be carried out by expert personnel.
3. Use the mic+ ultrasonic sensors for non-contact detection of objects.
4. Ensure that objects that strongly absorb (e.g. plastic foam) or diffusely reflect sound (e.g. pebble stones) are avoided as they can reduce the defined operating range.
5. Use the 3-digit LED-display LED D1 and D2 for setting switching output D1 and D2.
6.  Use push-buttons T1 and T2 for setting detect distance in mm or cm.
7. If the assembly distances shown in Fig. 1 for two or more sensors are exceeded, use the integrated synchronization. Connect Sync/Comchannels (pin 5 at the unit receptacle) of all sensors (10 maximum).
8. Ensure that the mic+ sensors are kept clean from thick layers of dirt and caked-on dirt to maintain functionality.

Product Description

• The mic+ sensor with two switching outputs measures the distance to an object within the detection zone contactless. Depending on the adjusted detect distance the switching output is set.
• All settings are done with two push-buttons and a three-digit LED-display (TouchControl).
• Three-colour LEDs indicate the switching status.
• The output functions are changeable from NOC to NCC.
• The sensors are adjustable manually via TouchControl or via Teach-in procedure.
• Useful additional functions are set in the Add-on-menu.
• Using the LinkControl adapter (optional accessory) all TouchControl and additional sensor parameter settings can be adjusted by a Windows® Software.

Safety Notes

• Read the operating instructions prior to start-up.
• Connection, installation and adjustment works may only be carried out by expert personnel.
• No safety component in accordance with the EU Machine Directive, use in the area of personal and machine protection not permitted

Proper Use

mic+ ultrasonic sensors are used for non-contact detection of objects. The mic+ sensors have a blind zone in which distance measurement is not possible. The operating range indicates the distance of the sensor that can be applied with normal reflectors with sufficient function reserve. When using good reflectors, such as a calm water surface, the sensor can also be used up to its maximum range. Objects that strongly absorb (e.g. plastic foam) or diffusely reflect sound (e.g. pebble stones) can also reduce the defined operating range.

Synchronisation
If the assembly distances shown in Fig. 1 for two or more sensors are exceeded integrated synchronization should be used. Connect Sync/Com-channels (pin 5 at the units receptacle) of all sensors (10 maximum).

Fig. 1: Assembly distances, indicating synchronisation/multiplex

Multiplex mode
The Add-on-menu allows to assign an individual address »01« to »10« to each sensor connected via the Sync/Com-channel (Pin5). The sensors perform the ultrasonic measurement sequentially from low to high address. Therefore any influence between the sensors is rejected.
The address »00« is reserved to synchronisation mode and deactivates the multiplex mode. To use synchronised mode all sensors must be set to address »00«.

Installation

• Assemble the sensor at the installation location.
• Plug in the connector cable to the M12 connector, see Fig. 2.
• Fig. 2: Pin assignment with view onto sensor plug and colour coding of the microsonic connection cable

Start-up

• Connect the power supply.
• Set the parameters of the sensor manually via TouchControl (see Fig. 3 and Diagram 1)
• or use the Teach-in procedure to adjust the detect points (see Diagram 2).

Factory setting
mic+ sensors are delivered factory-made with the following settings:

• Switching outputs on NOC
• Detecting distance at operating range and half operating range
• Measurement range set to maximum range

Maintenance

mic+ sensors work maintenance free. Small amounts of dirt on the surface do not influence function. Thick layers of dirt and caked-on dirt affect sensor function and therefore must be removed.

Notes

• mic+ sensors have internal temperature compensation. Because the sensors heat up on their own, the temperature compensation reaches its optimum working point after approx. 30 minutes of operation.

• During normal operating mode, a yellow LED signals that the switching output has connected.

• During normal operating mode, the measured distance value is displayed on the LED-indicator in mm (up to 999 mm) or cm (from 100 cm). Scale switches automatically and is indicated by a point on top of the digits.

• During Teach-in mode, the hysteresis loops are set back to factory settings.

• If no objects are placed within the detection zone the LED-indicator shows »– – –«.

• If no push-buttons are pressed for 20 seconds during parameter setting mode the made changes are stored and the sensor returns to normal operating mode.

• The sensor can be reset to its factory setting, see »Key lock and factory setting«, Diagram 3.
  Show parameters

• In normal operating mode shortly push T1. The LED display shows »PAr.« Each time you tap push-button T1 the actual settings of the analog output are shown.
