Highlights

  • Trigger input for control of the ultrasonic transmitter
  • Echo output for customer-provided evaluation in the controller

Basics

  • 1 echo output with a load up to 10 mA
  • 5 detection ranges with a measurement range of 30 mm to 8 m
  • 0.36 mm resolution
  • 10–30 V operating voltage

Description

The wms sensors

require connection to the customer's own control and signal evaluation equipment.

wms - the inexpensive alternative

to a self-contained sensor when the sensor must be controlled by the customer's system. A microprocessor control is normally required for this.

The "transmitter" signal input 

briefly has to be set to -UB by the control unit via an open-collector circuit. As a result, an the wms sensor emits a sound pulse for the time of this signal.

The "echo" signal output

subsequently transmits all echo signals received depending on their duration as 1 bit values (echo yes/no). This takes between 8 and 65 ms depending on the type of sensor. The positive-switched (pnp) output can be loaded with 10 mA. The computation of the distance and subsequent processing is carried out in the customer's control system.
