ULTRA-PROG-IR
Settings for Analog Output
Depending on the connected type of sensor, different tabs are arranged on the user interface of the software ULTRA-PROG-IR.
The tab 'Analog Output' is only available for sensor types with an analog output 4...20 mA, 0...20 mA or 0...10 V and allows settings for the analog output of the sensor.
The following settings can be made in the tab 'Analog Output':
- Operating mode of the analog output

- Current output 0...20 mA:
The distance of an object in the analog range is output at the analog output in the range 0...20 mA.
This setting is only available for sensors with analog outputs 4...20 mA or 0...20 mA.
- Current output 4...20 mA:
The distance of an object in the analog range is output at the analog output in the range 4...20 mA.
This setting is only available for sensors with analog outputs 4...20 mA or 0...20 mA.
- Voltage output:
The distance of an object in the analog range is output at the analog output in the range 0...10 V.
This setting is only available for sensors with analog output 0...10 V.
- Analog output inactive:
In this mode, the analog output is inactive, i.e. the output is constantly 0 mA or 0 V.
- Characteristic

It is possible to set a rising or a falling characteristic.
In the case of a rising characteristic, the current or the voltage at the analog output rises with increasing object distances.
In the case of a falling characteristic, the current or voltage at the analog output falls with increasing object distances.
- Analog range

In the set analog range, the current or voltage of the analog output is output depending on the distance.
The start value of the analog range must be smaller than the end value.
The analog range can be located anywhere within the sensing range.
- Behavior outside the analog range

The behavior of the analog output outside the analog range can be set for the following three modes:
- No object detected:
The behavior of the analog output if no object is detected.
- Object in front of the analog range:
The behavior of the analog output if an object is located in front of the analog range from the sensor's perspective.
- Object behind the analog range:
The behavior of the analog output if an object is located behind the analog range from the sensor's perspective.
For every mode, you can define if the maximum or the minimum analog value shall be output at the analog output.
The minimal analog value corresponds to 0 mA for sensors with analog output 0...20 mA, 4 mA for sensors with analog output 4...20 mA, or 0 V for sensors with analog output 0...10 V.
The maximal analog value corresponds to 20 mA for sensors with analog outputs 0...20 mA or 4...20 mA, or 10 V for sensors with analog output 0...10 V.
