ULTRA-PROG-IR
Settings for Control Elements
Depending on the connected type of sensor, different tabs are arranged on the user interface of the software ULTRA-PROG-IR.
The tab 'Adjustment Type' is available for every type of sensor and allows settings for the control elements of the sensor.
The following settings can be made in the tab 'Adjustment Type':
- Potentiometer
- Adjustability with the potentiometer:

For potentiometer 1 and potentiometer 2, a range limit can be set that is adjustable with the respective potentiometer.
It is also possible to deactivate one or both potentiometers.
Depending on the type of sensor, the following range limits can be selected:
- Switching point 1 of switching output 1
- Switching point 2 of switching output 1
- Switching point 1 of switching output 2
- Switching point 2 of switching output 2
- Start of analog range
- End of analog range
- Adjustment range of the potentiometer:

The adjustment range is the range where the selected range limit can be adjusted with the potentiometer.
The start of the adjustment range corresponds to the selected range limit at left stop of the potentiometer.
The end of the setting range corresponds to the selected range limit at right stop of the potentiometer.
The adjustment range always refers to both potentiometers if they are active.
- Teach-In

It is possible to use the XI connection of the sensor to teach a range limit.
Therefore, an object must be positioned in the desired distance.
The object must be located within the sensing range of the sensor.
Then, the XI connection is connected to the GND connection of the sensor.
The connection must be stable for at least three seconds.
After completion of the teach-in process, the green LED lights up for approx. 0.5 seconds.
After that the connection of the XI connection can be separated or the teach-in process is repeated after every three seconds.
If during the teach-in process no object is located within the sensing range or the object is not detected, no range limit is taught.
In this case, the sensor ignores the teach-in signal.
Depending on the type of sensor, the following range limits can be taught:
- Switching point 1 of switching output 1
- Switching point 2 of switching output 1
- Switching point 1 of switching output 2
- Switching point 2 of switching output 2
- Start of analog range
- End of analog range
The teach-in function is not activated when the sensor is delivered.
- Synchronization and multiplex mode

If the XI connections of two or up to ten sensors are connected, the sensors synchronize.
In synchronized mode, all sensors have the same cycle time and send the ultrasonic signals at the same time.
For sensors with different cycle times, the common cycle time in synchronized mode is determined by the sensor with the longest cycle time.
For sensors with a shorter cycle time than the cycle time in synchronized mode, the initial state outside the actual cycle time is saved.
It is possible to delete the initial state during the extended cycle time.
In multiplex mode, the connected sensors work with a synchronous cycle time, too, however, the ultrasonic signal is sent alternately.
Therefore, an address must be assigned to each sensor and the overall number of sensors must be set.
The addresses of the sensors at the same time define the order in which the sensors send the ultrasonic signals.
In multiplex mode, the XI connections of the sensors must be connected and then energized altogether at the same time.
While the XI connection is set to teach-in, the synchronization and the multiplex mode are both automatically inactive.
