Operation
Note The minimum and maximum values for the active evaluation range of the scan line (reading
angle limits) can be checked in the S
HOW RA-LIMITS mode.
See also Chapter 6.5.5 Show RA-limits, Page 6-46.
Recommendation Don’t configure the reading space if you use the free running mode in combination with a
fixed focus position (fix focus mode). Restrict the reading space using the reading angle
limits.
• Autofocus:
Using the periodic object distance measurement function, the CLV490 creates an up-
to-date distance profile in its area of view with every 10th scan. From this profile, the
CLV490 uses the selected autofocus mode, the parameterized limits of the autofocus
area, and the taught-in background (optional) to automatically determine the required
focus position for a detected object. The defined autofocus area should be within the
limits of the parameterized reading area.
• Event-controlled focus control:
The CLV490 controls its focus position by means of object distance information, which
it receives either externally via the switching inputs (reading from above: object height
detection by means of photoelectric switches) and their assignment to parameterized
distance configurations, or by means of command strings via the serial data interface
(also with reference to distance configurations). In timer mode (search), the CLV490
changes its focus position step by step according to the parameterized number and
sequence of distance configurations. The line scanner with oscillating mirror also uses
– similar to the timer mode – its oscillating mirror reversal points at the maximum
deflection points to trigger the switchover.
