In particular, the following can be stated: • container loading/handling • traffic/transport • robots • object protection The measured data can be processed externally to identify and analyse objects. 20 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Operating Instructions Product description Chapter 3 LD-MRS Laser Scanner 3.4 Operating principle of the device The LD-MRS serves for contact-free and directional detection of the sensor surroundings, or rather of the objects located within the radial field of view. The object detection is done with laser beams that the LD-MRS emits in four stacked planes. The device measures the distance and the direction (the angle to the LD-MRS) of the object. From the measured data, the LD-MRS calculates the position of the object in the sensor co-ordinate system. The resulting profiles of the different planes are called scan, see section 3.4.9 Scan data, page 34. The LD-MRS issues the measured data in reference to its sensor co-ordinates. The data contain information on measurement plane, distance, echo number, echo pulse width, class. It also contains angle information (horizontal and vertical). Due to the detailed presentation and thus the extensive amount of data, the LD-MRS issues the measured data via the Ethernet interface only. The factory defaults of the LD-MRS are designed to facilitate immediate commissioning of the LD-MRS. The user can modify some parameters to optimise the LD-MRS in regard to the application at hand, see section 6.4.2 Changing and saving the device configuration of the LD-MRS, page 67. 3.4.1 Measuring process and measuring properties The LD-MRS is a measurement instrument basing on the Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology, i. e. the LD-MRS uses laser beams to detect distance and angle of objects. It scans the surroundings radially with several rotating laser beams, receives the echoes with a photo diode receiver, processes the data by means of a time of flight calculation and issues the processed data via the Ethernet interface. By the permanent rotation of the mirror in connection with the laser beam, it is possible to build a complete profile of the surroundings within the field of view of the LD-MRS. The scan data of the LD-MRS consist of values for distance, angle, and echo pulse width. The measurement properties base on 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 • time-of-flight measurement, • multi-echo capability, • multi-layer technology, • the scanning range and the relation of angle to range • the angular resolution and the scanning frequency. © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 21 Chapter 3 Product description Operating Instructions LD-MRS Laser Scanner 3.4.2 Time-of-flight measurement 2 1 Fig. 3-2: 3 4 Principle of time-of-flight measurement Caption: 1 2 3 4 Object Laser pulse, transmitted Laser pulse, reflected LD-MRS The laser pulses emitted from the LD-MRS are reflected by the objects in the surroundings. The LD-MRS collects the laser pulse reflections, processes the information and issues the data via the Ethernet interface. The distance is calculated from the time-of-flight of the laser pulse and the speed of light. The rotating mirror deflects the laser pulses. The angular position of the mirror during deflection yields the direction of the detected object. The combination of these values builds the basis for a complete profile of the surroundings in the radial scanning range of the LD-MRS. 22 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Operating Instructions Product description Chapter 3 LD-MRS Laser Scanner 3.4.3 Multi-echo capability 1 2 3 4 V (t) V th 0 tA wA tB wB tC wC t d 0 dA Fig. 3-3: dB dC Multi-echo capability Caption: 1 2 3 4 Example: echo of a window pane Example: echo of a rain drop Threshold voltage Example for the echo object V(t) input voltage t time d distance w echo pulse width A glass panel B rain drop C object Vth threshold voltage The LD-MRS has multi-echo capability. Thus, it can gather and evaluate up to three echoes per transmitted laser pulse. Once the echo reaches the photo diode receiver of the LD-MRS, the received intensity is transformed into a voltage. In the example shown in Fig. 3-3, a reflected echo of a glass pane yields a high voltage over a short period of time. The echo of a rain drop, however, yields a very low voltage over a short period of time. The echo of an object yields a high voltage over a longer period. All three echoes are generated by reflections of a single transmitted pulse. The threshold voltage Vth separates the system noise from the relevant echoes. By comparing, this threshold prevents system noise to be evaluated as measured value. The LD-MRS uses the amplitudes above the threshold voltage Vth to evaluate the echo pulse widths wA/B/C in that range. 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 23 Chapter 3 Product description Operating Instructions LD-MRS Laser Scanner 3.4.4 Multi-layer technology 1 Fig. 3-4: 2 3 Multi-layer technology Caption: 1 2 3 LD-MRS Scan plane Object The multi-layer technology of the LD-MRS allows for a pitch angle compensation by means of four scan planes with different vertical angles, e.g. if the device is mounted to a vehicle. Thus, the LD-MRS detects the object reliably even when accelerating or braking the vehicle. 1 Fig. 3-5: 2 3 Principle of the scan planes, colour-coded Caption: 1 2 3 24 Vertical aperture angle One of the four scan planes LD-MRS © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Operating Instructions Product description Chapter 3 LD-MRS Laser Scanner The photo diode receiver of the LD-MRS consists of four independent receivers arranged in a line. These four receivers enable the implementation of the multi-layer technology. One receiver is assigned to each plane, dividing the vertical aperture angle into four scan planes. These four scan planes are scanned interlaced. This means that the combination of two planes is always scanned simultaneously (first e. g. the yellow and the green plane, then the blue and the red plane), see section 3.4.6 Angular resolution and scanning frequency, page 28.

Table 3-4 illustrates the naming convention for the planes and their predefined colours that are used for the visualisation. The colour saturation in the visualisation decreases from echo to echo. Example for a case with three echoes, see Fig. 3-3 If a laser beam hits a glass pane, for example, a part of the light is reflected and triggers a measurement (echo 1). Most of the light passes the window pane and might hit a rain drop which then again reflects a part of the light (echo 2). The remaining light is then reflected by an object, which then results in the third measured value (echo 3). 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 25 Chapter 3 Product description Operating Instructions LD-MRS Laser Scanner 3.4.5 Scanning range and relation of angle to range Scanning range 2 1 3 Fig. 3-6: Scanning range Caption: 1 2 3 Central scanning range (green) Lateral scanning range (light green) LD-MRS The LD-MRS has been designed with a central scanning range of 85° for four scan planes.

The operator can configure these parameters, see section 6.4.2 Changing and saving the device configuration of the LD-MRS, page 67. Angular resolution Fig. 3-8: Angular resolution X_Layer Two scan planes each are measured and analysed simultaneously. If an angular resolution of 0.125° is specified for a certain range, then 0.125° is the angular step between two scan planes (e. g. red-blue) and their partners (e. g. yellow-green). The angle for the next measurement on the same plane is twice as high, in this example 0.25°.

A slightly lesser angular resolution is applied in the medium area of ±(30° to 10°) around the x-axis. The lateral area from +50° to +30° and –30° to –60° has a lower angular resolution because the objects there are less relevant.

As a result of this definition, the remissions for surfaces that reflect the light bundled (mirrored surfaces, reflectors), are more than 100%. Fig. 3-14: Reflection of the laser beam at the surface of an object Most surfaces reflect the laser beam diffusely in all directions. The reflection of the laser beam will vary as a function of the surface structure and colour. Light surfaces reflect the laser beam better than dark surfaces and can be detected by the LD-MRS over larger distances. Brilliant white plaster reflects approx. 100% of the incident light, black foam rubber approx. 2.4%. On very rough surfaces, part of the energy is lost due to shading. This reduces the scanning range of the LD-MRS. Fig. 3-15: Reflection angle The reflection angle is the same as the angle of incidence. If the laser beam is incident perpendicularly on a surface, the energy is optimally reflected, see Fig. 3-15. If the beam is incident at an angle, a corresponding energy and scanning range loss is incurred. Fig. 3-16: Degree of reflection If the reflected energy returned is over 100% (basis: Kodak standard) the incident beam is not reflected diffusely in all directions, but is reflected in a specific direction. As a result a 32 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Operating Instructions Product description Chapter 3 LD-MRS Laser Scanner large portion of the energy emitted can be received by the laser distance measurement device. Plastic reflectors ("cats’ eyes”), reflective tape and triple prisms have these properties. Fig. 3-17: Mirror surfaces At mirror surfaces the laser beam is almost entirely deflected, see Fig. 3-17. Instead of the surface of the mirror, it is possible that the object on which the deflected laser beam is incident may be detected.. Fig. 3-18: Object smaller than diameter of the laser beam Objects that are smaller than the diameter of the laser beam cannot reflect all the energy of the laser light, see Fig. 3-18. The energy in the portion of the laser light that is not reflected is lost. This means that the scanning range is less than would be possible theoretically based on the surface of the object. 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 33 Chapter 3 Product description Operating Instructions LD-MRS Laser Scanner 3.4.8 Data interface The LD-MRS is equipped with an Ethernet data interface for configuration and measured value transmission. The Ethernet interface is designed as TCP/IP interface; it supports full duplex. By factory default, the Ethernet interface is configured as follows: • IP address: 192.168.0.1 • subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 • TCP port: 12002 Depending on the configuration of the LD-MRS, the Ethernet interface provides different data types: • scan data (see section 3.4.9 Scan data, page 34) – LD-MRS: data type 0x2202 – ibeo API: data type 0x2203 • warnings and fault messages – LD-MRS: data type 0x2030 – ibeo API: data types 0x6400, 0x6410, 0x6420, 0x6430 • commands and responses – data types 0x2010 and 0x2020 The libraries can be found on the provided CD-ROM. The libraries are available as dynamic and static versions. For a description of the electrical connections and cables of the interface, refer to section 5.3 Electrical connections and cables, page 42. 3.4.9 Scan data Scanning the sensor surroundings within the scanning range of the LD-MRS is called the scan process. The total set of measured data (= scan data ) of a scan process, consisting of individual scan points, are called scan. Upon request, the LD-MRS issues the scan data via the Ethernet interface. In the scan process, the transmitted laser pulses are reflected by objects within the measurement range. These echo pulses are received and analysed by the LD-MRS. Every detected echo pulse is represented by a scan point with the following main properties: 34 • position of the point • width of the echo pulse • scan plane and echo number © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Operating Instructions Product description Chapter 3 LD-MRS Laser Scanner The LD-MRS generates a two-dimensional profile of the surroundings, with additional height information (three-dimensional information) resulting from the multi-layer technology, see Fig. 3-4, page 24. Typical presentation of the scan data is a bird's view, i.e. the view from above onto the measurement plane. Analysis of the scan data First the LD-MRS analyses the scan data. This analysis is called pre-processing. In this step, the device classifies every measured point into these categories: values caused by contamination, atmospheric noise (e. g. rain) and measurements on objects. The LD-MRS only issues the scan data as data types via the Ethernet interface. Observe the following differences: Important • Scan data of the LD-MRS are issued as polar co-ordinates in the sensor co-ordinate system. • Scan data of the ibeo API are issued as Cartesian co-ordinates in the sensor co-ordinate system. Scan data are transmitted to the sensor co-ordinate system by the LD-MRS. 1 2 Fig. 3-19: Reference image Caption: 1 2 Vehicle LD-MRS The reference image in Fig. 3-19 shows the moment when a vehicle passes an LD-MRS at an angle. 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 35 Chapter 3 Product description Operating Instructions LD-MRS Laser Scanner Fig. 3-20: Scan data An excerpt of the scan data of the LD-MRS at this point of time is shown in Fig. 3-20. Only scan points of the passing vehicle are shown. 3.4.10 Measured value output For the measured value output, the LD-MRS supplies measured values to the Ethernet interface. It is prerequisite for this data output that the LD-MRS is in the measurement mode. Normally, the LD-MRS starts measurement mode via the automatic power system. If the LD-MRS stops during measured value output, there are two ways to start the measurement mode: • start via the LD-MRS View visualisation tool, see section Starting the operating mode "Measurement mode", page 59 • start using a message, see section Start measurement, page 90, 3.4.11 Data communication using messages The LD-MRS sends messages over the Ethernet interface to communicate with a connected PC. The following functions can be run using messages: • request for measured values by the PC and subsequent output of the measured values by the LD-MRS to the PC • parameter setting by the PC for the configuration of the LD-MRS, • parameters and status log querying by the PC A detailed description of the different messages can be found in section 10.2 Messages of measured data log, page 84. 36 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Operating Instructions Product description Chapter 3 LD-MRS Laser Scanner 3.5 Recommendation ibeo API Experience in C++ programming is required to use the ibeo API. The ibeo API supports and facilitates the integration of the LD-MRS into a software project. It consists of several libraries that can be used under: • MS Visual Studio 2005 ® • MS Visual Studio 2008 ® • Linux gcc 4 The libraries an be found on the provided CD-ROM. The libraries are available as dynamic and static versions. 3.5.1 Notes on usage The provided CD-ROM contains the documentation of the ibeo API created with doxygen. This documentation contains sample codes for using the ibeo API. Details about the libraries can be found in the respective header files. In order to create your own application program with the ibeo API you need the required libraries (boost and asio, see documentation of the ibeo API) for the application development system of the operator. Important The program implementing the ibeo API must be created with the application development system or the compiler of the operator, see chapter 6 Commissioning and configuration, page 49. 3.6 Status indicators and controls The LD-MRS does not have any status indicators like LEDs nor any controls. The device is configured and switched to measurement mode by means of commands in message or using the "LD-MRS View" visualisation tool via the Ethernet interface. 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 37 Chapter 3 Product description Operating Instructions LD-MRS Laser Scanner 38 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Operating Instructions Mounting Chapter 4 LD-MRS Laser Scanner 4 Mounting This chapter describes the mounting steps for the LD-MRS. 4.1 Overview of the mounting steps The following list gives and overview of the typical mounting steps: • select a mounting location for the LD-MRS • mount and adjust the LD-MRS 4.2 Preparations for mounting In general, observe the following requirements for mounting: • mounting location with free view of the scanning range of the LD-MRS, see section 9.3 Boundary conditions for integration, page 82. • stable mounting support with sufficient bearing capacity and suitable dimensions for LD-MRS • if needed, behind a pane (glass or acrylic glass) which is transparent for infrared light (905 nm), for more detailed information about suitable material contact SICK AG.

After every configuration change, the functionality of the application must be checked. SICK AG does not assume any liability of an LD-MRS is operated with incorrect configuration. Important Loss of access to the LD-MRS via Ethernet! If an invalid IP address is set (address beyond the address range, double assignment, etc.) the device cannot be accessed after restarting the LD-MRS. ¾ If necessary, use the RS-232 interface to view the currently set IP address and set the address again via Ethernet as described in section 6.2 Quick start with default settings, page 49. For using the LD-MRS, the LD-MRS must be optimised to the requirements and actual situation. With the LD-MRS View visualisation tool, the LD-MRS is adjusted to the situation on site. This process bases on the factory default settings or on a user-specific parameter set that has already been created for the LD-MRS. The parameters can be viewed and edited with the LD-MRS View visualisation tool, stored temporarily or permanently in the LD-MRS, and applied. Fig. 6-24: LD-MRS View: Dialog box "Device Configuration" to modify the parameter values Opening the dialog box "Device Configuration" reads and displays the current settings of the LD-MRS. If those settings can be modified, they can be adjusted here and either used temporarily in the device (APPLY TEMPORARILY) or stored permanently in the device (SAVE PERMANENTLY). If parameters are only set temporarily, the LD-MRS uses the old, permanently set parameters at the next start (if the voltage supply has been interrupted or if the LD-MRS has been interrupted by a reset command). 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 67 Chapter 6 Commissioning and configuration Operating Instructions LD-MRS Laser Scanner With a few exceptions, the new settings are valid immediately. The exceptions include parameters that are required for initialisation of the device. These values (e. g. IP-address, Subnet Mask, …) are permanently stored in the device and become effective after rebooting the device. Parameters of measurement mode (Measurement Parameters) By modifying the following parameters, the measuring properties of the LD-MRS can be influenced. • Angular resolution (AngularResolutionType): focused or constant Focused: Only at a scanning frequency of 12.5 Hz, the angular resolution can be set to be optimised towards the front. Constant: The angular resolution is constant, see section 3.4.6 Angular resolution and scanning frequency, page 28. • End angle of the scan range (ScanEndAngle) The end angle of the scan range must always be smaller than the start angle of the sensor co-ordinate system. The minimum value is -60°. • Scanning frequency (ScanFrequency) Scanning frequencies of 12.5 Hz, 25 Hz and 50 Hz are possible, however, the available angular resolutions depend on the scanning frequency, see section 3.4.6 Angular resolution and scanning frequency, page 28. • Start angle of the scan range (ScanStartAngle) The start angle of the scan range must always be greater than the end angle of the sensor co-ordinate system. The maximum value is +50°. • SyncAngle Angle under which the LD-MRS measures at the time of the sync pulse. Parameters of the interfaces (TCP/IP Parameters) The interfaces provide specific and general configuration options. 68 • IP address Here the pre-set IP address can be modified and adjusted to the needs. • Port Here the port can be modified and adjusted. • StdGateway Here the standard gateway can be modified and adjusted. • Subnet mask Please make sure that the selected subnet mask matches your network or the IP range used by the application. © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Operating Instructions Commissioning and configuration Chapter 6 LD-MRS Laser Scanner To modify the parameter values of the LD-MRS and store them in the LD-MRS, proceed as follows: 1. In the menu EDIT select DEVICE CONFIGURATION . The dialog box "Device Configuration" opens. Modify the parameter values. 2. 3. Click on the button APPLY TEMPORARILY to transmit the modified parameter values temporarily to the LD-MRS. 4.

This reduces the necessity of scan data corrections during processing. During the synchronisation process, the LD-MRS adjusts its scanning frequency (in a small range) so that the measurement in a selected angle happens at the time the external device presents a synchronisation pulse. Another option is to define the LD-MRS as master which presents its synchronisation pulse to the external device, which can adjust its processing frequency of measurement (e. g. taking pictures) to this synchronisation signal. 6.5.1 Important 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Synchronisation details The synchronisation frequency must be between 8.5 Hz and 50 Hz. Frequencies above and beyond these values are not accepted by the LD-MRS. © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 69 Chapter 6 Commissioning and configuration Operating Instructions LD-MRS Laser Scanner The precision of the synchronisation (i. e. the time difference between synchronisation pulse and the moment of crossing the angle specified as SyncAngle) is approx. ±1,000 µs for a scanning frequency of 12.5 Hz if no external forces act on the LD-MRS (especially no angle acceleration). This is equivalent an angular precision of ±4.5° around the true 0° direction. For the scanning frequency of 25 Hz and 50 Hz the precision is ±500 µs, equivalent to an angular precision of ±4.5° or ±9°, respectively. The external synchronisation frequency fsync can be selected in a range of 8.5 Hz fsync 50 Hz and should have a relative precision better than 0.1 % (the better fsync, the better the scanner's synchronisation). Therefore we recommend not to send the synchronisation signal from a PC because they generally have less precise timers. Instead use a designated micro-controller to generate the synchronisation signal. The external synchronisation frequency and the scanning frequency do not need to match. The external synchronisation frequency must be within ±4 Hz of the scanning frequency fscan (fsync = fscan ±4 Hz). The LD-MRS adjusts the scanning frequency to the external synchronisation frequency. When the external synchronisation frequency fails, the LD-MRS adjusts its scanning frequency again to the initially specified value. Fig. 6-26: LD-MRS: Sync IN and Sync Out pulse The voltage level to detect an external trigger signal must have level E/A-232 (formerly RS232). The LD-MRS detects a logical positive flank as the moment of synchronisation, see TSyncTime in Fig. 6-26. 6.5.2 Synchronisation systems There are three possible synchronisation systems: 70 • LD-MRS and external device synchronised by the LD-MRS • LD-MRS and external device synchronising the LD-MRS © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Operating Instructions Commissioning and configuration Chapter 6 LD-MRS Laser Scanner • LD-MRS and two external units, one of which synchronises the LD-MRS, the other being synchronised by the LD-MRS Each LD-MRS starts as a master unit, sending trigger points to the next unit. The LD-MRS always sets the output signal to tPulse_out = 20 µs, see red output signal in Fig. 6-26, page 70. When the trigger input receives a transition from low to high, the LD-MRS switches to the salve mode. This stops the further active sending of the Sync Pulse. The device then only copies and transmits the master trigger. The external synchronisation signal should remain in high state for at least tPulse,min = 10 µs, see blue input signal in Fig. 6-26, page 70. If no other external trigger is present, the LD-MRS switches back to master mode after approx. 300 ms. 6.6 ¾ 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Switching off the LD-MRS Switch off the supply voltage of the LD-MRS.

In order to ensure laser class 1 of the LD-MRS, no maintenance is necessary. The LD-MRS issues device and function errors via the Ethernet interface, see section 8.1 Warnings and fault messages, page 75. Important Opening the device causes loss of liability claims towards SICK AG. The housing may only be opened by authorised service personnel of SICK AG. 7.2 Recommendation Cleaning the device In order to keep the complete measurement power of the LD-MRS, check the window of the LD-MRS on a regular basis (e. g. weekly) for contamination. This is particularly true in rugged operation environments (dust, debris, humidity). CAUTION Laser radiation! The LD-MRS uses infrared light laser. The device is specified as laser class 1 (eye-safe). ¾ Do not open the device (opening the housing does not interrupt the laser operation). ¾ Observe the valid laser protection regulations in their newest version. 7.2.1 Cleaning the window from outside NOTICE Damaging the window! Reduced measurement capabilities by scratches and streaks on the window! The window of the LD-MRS (Fig. 2-1, page 14) consists of a special plastic material. Only clean after a visual check. Recommendation ¾ Do not touch the window with your fingers. ¾ Do not use aggressive detergents. ¾ Do not use paper towels for cleaning (can contain scratching wood particles!). ¾ Avoid scratching and abrasive movement on the window. Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the window. Reduce this effect by using the antistatic plastic cleaner (No. 5600006) and the lens cloth (No. 4003353), see section 10.8 Order data, page 96. Clean window ¾ Important 8012948/TB89/2009-07-01 Clean the window of the cover only with a damp cloth (lent-free) and a mild pane detergent, if necessary. If the window is scratched or damaged (crack, break), the window must be replaced. To do so, contact SICK Service. © SICK AG · Auto Ident · Germany · All rights reserved 73 Maintenance Chapter 7 Operating Instructions LD-MRS Laser Scanner 7.2.2 Cleaning the housing of the LD-MRS NOTICE Damages to the LD-MRS! The LD-MRS is classified as enclosure rating IP 69k and is only protected against permeating liquids in that regard. ¾ Do not use aggressive chemicals! ¾ If necessary, clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth (lint-free). Use a mild antistatic window detergent. If mounted, the LD-MRS can also be cleaned with a high pressure cleaner as long as the maximum values regarding pressure, duration and distance between high pressure cleaner and LD-MRS comply with DIN 40050. In addition, protect the plugs of the LD-MRS with suitable measures when cleaning with a high-pressure cleaning device because the plugs are classified as enclosure rating IP 68. Else water can permeate the seals or damage parts of the LD-MRS housing. 7.3 Exchanging an LD-MRS A faulty or damaged LD-MRS must be dismounted and replaced by a new or repaired LDMRS.
