Leuze electronic CML 700i measuring light curtain with Profinet

The Leuze electronic CML 700i is a measuring light curtain in IP65 housing with an integrated Profinet interface. With Profinet as well as the control unit integrated in the receiver unit, the need for additional devices and software is eliminated.

Configuration is carried out directly via the large display, using Leuze Sensor Studio or directly via the PLC, which saves the settings and makes it possible for devices to be replaced without having to reconfigure. The light curtain is equipped with an integrated switch for setting up a ring or linear topology. Through cascade mounting with a dead zone of just 23 mm between beams, fast response times and the detection of transparent objects, the light curtain is able to perform gapless object tracing, for example, on conveyor lines.

The data can be transmitted with a speed of 100 Mbps. Depending on the length (up to 2880 mm), the measuring light curtain makes the data available cyclically within 1 to 53 ms. The maximum length of the measurement data is 222 B and the individual values of the individual beams can be output so that an evaluation of height, width or orientation can be realised easily and quickly.
