pre-def<strong>in</strong>ed distance values, temperature warn<strong>in</strong>gs or an advance failure warn<strong>in</strong>g. They<br />
can also, however, be programmed as <strong>in</strong>puts, e.g. <strong>in</strong> order to use one of the outputs as<br />
a stand-by <strong>in</strong>put, via which the DME4000 can be activated by an external signal. In<br />
stand-by mode, the light transmitter is only started when required – achiev<strong>in</strong>g a longer<br />
service life.<br />
Simple commission<strong>in</strong>g, reliable mount<strong>in</strong>g<br />
The DME4000’s illum<strong>in</strong>ated display shows all important status and diagnostic functions<br />
at a glance dur<strong>in</strong>g commission<strong>in</strong>g, as well as <strong>in</strong> subsequent operation. The visible red<br />
light beam, and the alignment bracket which can be adjusted both horizontally and vertically,<br />
simplify mount<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Areas of use <strong>for</strong> laser distance measurement systems<br />
Distance measurement systems like the DME4000 are used <strong>in</strong> automated warehouse<br />
technology to detect the <strong>position</strong> of storage and retrieval devices and rail-borne automatic<br />
vehicles. The sensor is mounted on the vehicle and cont<strong>in</strong>uously measures the<br />
time-of-flight of a transmitted light pulse to the end of the aisle and back. The electronics<br />
use this time value to determ<strong>in</strong>e the <strong>position</strong> of the S/R system, and transmits this to the<br />
vehicle controller.<br />
