Mode of Operation
The DME5000 distance measuring sensor is a compact optical distance sensor. The DME
is mounted in such a way that the transmitted laser beam hits a reflector. The reflector of
the sensor moves along the laser beam.
The recipient of the DME receives the light reflected by the reflector and calculates the
distance between the sensor and reflector by measuring the time between sending the
light and receiving it back.
The measured distance is transmitted to a control unit or a position control loop via an SSI,
RS 422, DeviceNet, Hiperface or PROFIBUS interface, depending on the sensor model.
Thanks to the fast calculation of measurement values, the DME5000 is suitable for direct
operation in a closed-loop position control via the SSI interface, e.g., with a frequency
converter.
