    摘要: A measurement system and method, which increases a degree of freedom for setting a measurement period and a transmission period of measurement values and has a high accuracy, are provided. The measurement system includes a control device and a measurement device that measures a measurement object in a first period and transmits measurement values obtained from the measurement device to the control device. The measurement device transmits the measurement values waiting to be transmitted and additional information including information of the number of the measurement values waiting to be transmitted to the control device using frames transmitted in a second period that is longer than the first period. The control device generates time series data in which the measurement values are arranged in time series using the additional information.

    摘要: An error of a measured distance is reduced. An optical measurement device (100) includes: a light source (10), which emits lights; a sensor head (30), which condenses reflected lights reflected by a target (TA); a light reception portion (40), which is configured in a manner that each of a plurality of pixels is capable of detecting a light reception amount, and which obtains a light reception amount distribution signal of each pixel for the condensed reflected lights; a measurement portion (51), which measures a distance from the optical measurement device (100) to the target (TA) based on the light reception amount distribution signal; and a correction portion (52), which corrects the measured distance that is measured based on a predefined characteristic value in a waveform of the light reception amount distribution signal.

    摘要: The optical measurement apparatus includes an interface unit and a measuring unit. The interface unit is configured to receive a synchronization signal transmitted from a PLC to a fieldbus at a constant communication cycle, and output, in synchronization with the synchronization signal, a result of measurement (a measured value) by the optical measurement apparatus and a synchronization supervisory signal. The measuring unit is configured to execute optical measurement at a measurement cycle irrelevant to the communication cycle and generate a result of the measurement and a synchronization supervisory signal. The measuring unit sets the synchronization supervisory signal into an ON state in synchronization with receipt of the synchronization signal by the interface unit after start of the measurement, and sets the synchronization supervisory signal into an OFF state in synchronization with receipt of the synchronization signal by the interface unit when the interface unit outputs the measurement result.

    摘要: An optical sensor and an abnormality detection method therefor are provided. The optical sensor includes a light source device that generates light to be irradiated to an object; a light receiving part that receives a reflected light from the object; a branch part that fuses a first optical fiber optically coupled to the light source device and a second optical fiber optically coupled to the light receiving part to join with one end of a third optical fiber facing the object; and a processing part that determines whether junction abnormality occurs at a junction between the third optical fiber and the branch part based on whether an increment in a received light amount detected by the light receiving part with respect to a reference detection amount which is detected in a state of no reflection from the other end of the third optical fiber is within a predetermined range.

    摘要: An optical displacement sensor and a system are provided. The optical displacement sensor includes a light projecting unit that projects light onto a workpiece, a light receiving unit that receives light reflected from the workpiece and generates light receiving data, a processing unit that calculates a displacement amount of the workpiece on the basis of the light receiving data, an input unit that receives a timing synchronization signal, and an output unit that outputs the displacement amount calculated by the processing unit. The processing unit controls, in response to the timing synchronization signal received through the input unit, an exposure duration determined by an overlap between a duration during which the light projecting unit projects light onto the workpiece and a duration during which the light receiving unit receives the reflected light. The system includes the optical displacement sensor and a control device that generates the timing synchronization signal.

    摘要: A displacement measurement device and a measurement method are provided. A displacement measurement device includes a light projecting unit configured to generate a light beam; a sensor head configured to emit the light beam to a measurement target object and receive a light beam reflected at the measurement target surface within the emitted light beam; a storage unit configured to store a function using a distance between the sensor head and the measurement target surface as a variable; and a control unit configured to calculate the distance based on a wavelength of the light received by the sensor head. The control unit calculates a value of the function using a distance between the sensor head and the measurement target surface of the measurement target object as a value of the variable. The control unit corrects the calculated distance using the calculated value of the function.
