Connection technology
The measuring head can be connected in the following ways:

Ethernet / TCP/IP/UDP
By using Ethernet connection, the measuring head can be accessed over a web based interface. Over the web interface, it is possible to modify settings on the measuring head. Furthermore all functions of the measuring head software, such as calibration can be accessed.
PLC Signals
The measuring head can be controlled by hardware signals coming from a command unit, for example a PLC. Commands such as calibration can be engaged.
Analog output
The measured values are available as analog output signals. Three analog output modes are possible: 0-10V, 0-20mA and 4-20mA. The modes can be chosen over the web interface.

Measuring head technology

The measuring head is equipped with precision monobloc optics. This optical block assures best precision of the optical apertures and light beams. The illumination unit is a regulated white LED, which produces modulated light. Possible light source instability due to temperature changes or lifetime degradation of the LED is compensated with a special compensation circuit that has been developed for this device.
The sensor is V () adapted (adapted to the spectral sensitivity of the human eye). The gloss measuring circuit compensates any offset produced by stray light or other influences.
This leads to extremely stable and precise measuring results.

Mounting of the device

The ZOL1150 allows various mounting configurations, which allows a flexible use of the device.
In an inline production setting the device is often mounted on a traversal unit. (not within the scope of delivery).

Mounting Configurations:

Vertical to the material to be measured. Horizontal to the material to be measured, version 1.

Horizontal to the material to be measured, version 2. The measurement direction can also be either in the moving direction of the material or perpendicular to it.

In moving direction

Perpendicular to moving direction

It’s important to install the device with the respective measurement distance. In order to guarantee a stable measurement distance in a moving setup, mounting a transmission roll before and after the device is recommended. This will reduce vibrations of the material and help to achieve stable results.

Installation
- Only install the measuring head if it is in the measuring position. Otherwise you will risk a crash when the measuring head moves out to the measuring position.
- The distance between the material and the measuring head housing should be adjusted to respective measurement distance. You will need to make sure that the measuring head is precisely parallel to the material.
Measuring area
The indication arrow printed on the device indicates the center of the measuring range and the measuring direction. The dimensional drawings show the exact positioning of the measuring area.

Starting up

The device is switched on by the main switch S1. After switching on, the power LED (10) will light up and the device will take up to 80 seconds until it has completely booted up. Towards the end of this procedure, the orange status LED (8) starts to blink once per second and then extinguishes. Finally, the green status LED (9) lights up and the device is ready by turning automatically into the measuring mode. It is now providing measured data on the Ethernet port and on the analog output.
If the Z-axis (5) is not in measuring position, the orange status LED (8) will keeps glowing even after the booting process.
The device can simply be shut off with the main switch S1.

Z-Axis Control

The measuring head has an integrated Z-axis (5). It is used for calibration and for moving the measuring head away from the material in case more distance between the measuring head and the material to be measured is needed.
The position of the measuring head is controlled with a motor (6) and has two positions:

Calibration position:

In the calibration position, the measuring head (1) is away from the material. The

calibration tile (4) is located under the measuring head (1).

| Measuring position:

In the measuring position, the measuring head

(1) is close to the material. The measuring head is ready to measure.

---|---
|

A Z-axis movement is caused by two operations:

Calibration
When a calibration is initiated, the measuring head will move from the measuring position to the calibration position. After calibration it will move back to measuring position.
Position control
The position of the Z-axis (5) can also be controlled manually with the position control function. This function is needed e.g. if you need to move away from the material because of maintenance work in the production line.
Position control can be accessed either by the web interface or the Z-AXIS POSITION input on connector J2 pin 3.
The Z-axis (5) uses a special positioning procedure in order to increase positioning precision.
When moving up, the procedure is as follows:
- a) move up fast
- b) move a little bit down
- c) move back up slowly in order to find the precise position

When moving down, the procedure is the same but in the opposite way.

If the measuring head is moved to the calibration position with the external command on connector J2 pin 2 and this signal is kept active, the measuring head remains in the calibration position after a calibration has been started.
The following table shows all input combinations (J2, pins 1-3 and the respective result.

Input combination (on connector J2)		Result

Measurements

General

After switching on the device, it takes about 80 Seconds until it has completely booted up and is ready to measure by turning automatically into the measuring mode. It is now providing measured data on the Ethernet port and on the analog output.
When the device has not been used for a period of time, it is recommended to let the device run for about 10 minutes in order to heat it up. Afterwards a calibration should be performed to make sure the measured value is correct, and the Z-axis is in the right position.

Pass/Fail

With the pass/fail function a valid gloss range for the measurements can be specified. Whenever the measured gloss value exceeds the maximum level or falls below the minimum, the gloss value alarm will activate. This allows for supervising whether the measured gloss value is in its defined range.
The gloss value alarm is visualized in the web interface. It is also available as a digital output on connector J2 Pin 5.
The pass/fail levels can be set over the web interface.

Calibration

Calibration procedure
The measuring head is equipped with an automatic calibration procedure. As soon as a calibration command is sent to the measuring head, it moves along the Z-axis until it is on the calibration plate. Then the calibration is carried out and the measuring head moves back to the measuring position automatically.
The calibration can be initiated in two ways, either over the web panel or a digital I/O.
When using the digital I/O, pin 1 of the connector J2 has to be touched to COMMON for about 1 second.
Calibration plate
The calibration standard is mounted on a swiveling plate. When the measuring head is in measuring position, the calibration plate is located at the side of the measuring head.
As soon as the measuring head is moved into calibration position, the calibration plate will swivel under the measuring head. It is then automatically positioned correctly for the calibration to be performed (usually automatically).
The calibration standard has been measured by Zehntner. In order to prevent wrong calibration values, protect the calibration standard from dust, moisture and other environmental factors.
- After the expiry date a factory calibration of the ZOL 1150 and its corresponding calibration plate is required. Contact either Proceq or your authorized Proceq agent.
- The factory calibration is valid for two years.
- The calibration plate delivered with the ZOL 1150 is valid only for the delivered instrument. The serial number of the measuring head together with the corresponding calibration plate are shown on the certificate of calibration.
Cleaning the calibration plate
Should the calibration plate be soiled or covered by dust, it can be cleaned carefully using window cleaner and a soft tissue such as the supplied microfiber cleaning cloth. The following steps explain the cleaning procedure:
- Move the measuring head into the calibration position. This can be done over the web interface with the digital command Z-AXIS POSITION on connector J2 pin 3.
- Fold down the calibration plate carefully.
- Clean the calibration standard with a soft tissue such as the supplied microfiber cleaning cloth.
- Bring the calibration plate back to its default position.
- Move the measuring head back to the measuring position.
  NOte: A damaged or polluted calibration plate may cause incorrect calibration and therefore incorrect measuring results.
Replacing the calibration plate
The calibration plate can be removed for replacement or new certification.
Follow these steps to remove the calibration plate from the measuring head:
Make sure the measuring head is in the measuring position.
Loosen and remove the 2 Allen screws on the backside of the measuring head. Carefully remove the calibration plate.

Protocol Specification

Introduction
This section describes the proprietary protocol of the Zehntner ZOL 1150 glossmeter. This protocol allows to control the device and read the measurements with a connected computer.

Protocol
The data protocol of the ZOL 1150 consists of two types of protocols:
Data sentences and commands.
All types of protocols are text based.
The delimiter is the vertical bar character “|” (ASCII code 124).
The terminator is semicolon character “;” (ASCII code 59).
The port for UDP and TCP/IP communication is always 4450.

Data sentences
Data sentences are read only. They are sent out from the measuring head in a
broadcast manner. Typically, sentences are sent over UDP.
As soon as the measuring head has started up completely (may take 30 seconds), it will start measuring gloss and send out data sentences. These sentences contain
information such as measured gloss value and are pushed out by the measuring head
each second (except DSF every 10 ms).
Data sentences always start with a 3-character code, followed by one or more data
strings.

DSM – Data Sentence for Main information
The DSM sentence provides measurement information in a 1 Hz interval.

Parameter	Native data type	Example
DateTimeOfMeasure	DateTime	03.05.2013 17:35:05.000

DSF – Data Sentence Fast
The DSF sentence is pushed out every 10 milliseconds. It contains only the gloss value of the currently active angle.

Format: DSF|GlossValue

Parameter	Native data type	Example
GlossValue	Double	83.61

Example of a DSF sentence that has been sent out by the glossmeter:
DSF|83.61;

Commands

Commands are used to configure the measuring head and to send commands, such as
“calibrate”.
They are based on a send-receive topology, where the measuring head is always the client. Typically, commands are sent over TCP.
For the commands, the measuring head acts always as a client. It waits for a command from a host (e.g. a PC) and will answer on that command.
For parameter readouts, the received number format is engineering:
e.g. 22.000000+E0 for the number of 22.

CMD – Movement commands
Movement Commands always start with a “CMD”.

Example of sending a calibration command|
---|---
Send to measuring head| CMD|Calibrate;
Answer from measuring head if command succeeded| OK;

CLE – Console out

The measuring head has a console text, which informs over the activities of the measuring head. The console out can be viewed on the web-frontend of the measuring head and is also stored into a log file.
Furthermore, the console out is pushed to the interface as a CLE. It is only of informative type and may for example be used to display in a console window.
Two examples of console outs:

CLE|05/28/13 01:50:06 PM: Main Startup;

CLE|05/28/13

Maintenance and Cleaning

Maintenance and cleaning work that can be carried out by the user
Only the following maintenance and cleaning work shall be carried out by the user:

Outer cleaning of the device (see chapter 11.2 on page 35).
Cleaning the calibration plate as described in chapter 11.3 on page 35).
Replacing the calibration plate (see chapter 9.4 on page 27.

All other maintenance and repair work shall only be carried out by Proceq SA or your authorised Proceq agent otherwise all guarantee and liability claims are void.
Always switch off and unplug the ZOL 1150 before any cleaning and maintenance. The optics housing may not be opened under any circumstances since the measuring geometry would be misaligned. The measuring geometry can only be adjusted by means of special testing equipment in our factory.
The instrument consists of delicate optical and electronic precision parts. Do not drop it and protect it from shocks, moisture and dust.

Cleaning
It is recommended that the instrument is checked and certified by Zehntner every two years.

Clean the instrument periodically using a soft tissue.
Wipe the optical lenses (3) on the bottom of the measuring head (1) with the supplied microfiber cleaning cloth or with a lens cleaning tissue.

Fault/Error diagnosis
If the green LED (10) is not glowing, check the following parts:

Switch (S1) is in position “On”?
Power is connected (J1) and voltage is in the range 12V to 24V?
Fuse (F1) is ok and is the right type?

If there are still problems, contact the support of the manufacturer.
