SICK LMS400-2000 2D Laser Scanner Sensor

SICK LMS400-2000 2D Laser Scanner Indoor

Product Introduction

The SICK LMS400-2000 is a 2D laser scanner designed for indoor applications. It uses a visible red light source at 650 nm. The device operates in laser class 2, with laser class 1 in standby mode. Furthermore, it provides a reading field at the front. The working range spans from 0.7 m to 3 m. At 10% remission, the scanning range reaches 3 m. This scanner integrates level control as its primary application. The LMS400-2000 delivers high accuracy for demanding measurement tasks.

Technical Specifications

First, the scanning frequency ranges from 300 Hz to 500 Hz. The horizontal angular resolution is configurable from 0.1° to 1.0°. Besides, the response time is at least 2 ms. The systematic error stays within ±4 mm. Meanwhile, the statistical error is 3 mm. The sensor detects almost any object shape. It supports a selectable region of interest (ROI). The ROI ranges from 50 mm x 3,000 mm to 1,000 mm x 1,750 mm. Additionally, the device offers up to 50 equidistant columns or 30 freely positionable columns. The minimum column width is 50 mm. The minimum detectable object measures 30 mm x 30 mm. The smallest height threshold above the container floor is 30 mm.

Interfaces and Communication

The scanner includes an Ethernet interface with TCP/IP protocol. Data transmission rates reach 10 Mbit/s in half-duplex mode. Moreover, a serial RS-232 interface supports data output and service functions. The device offers four digital inputs. In addition, five digital outputs are available. Four outputs are PNP type, and one provides a 4 mA to 20 mA analog signal. Six LEDs serve as optical indicators. Switching threshold output works via telegram, digital outputs, or analog output. Height values in columns output through telegram or analog output. Therefore, integration with control systems becomes straightforward.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The housing material is aluminum die cast. The housing color is light blue (RAL 5012). The enclosure rating reaches IP65 according to EN 60529. The supply voltage is ≤ 24 V DC with ±15% tolerance. Power consumption is 25 W. The weight is 2.3 kg. Dimensions are 179 mm x 107 mm x 130 mm. A plug housing is included. The ambient operating temperature spans 0 °C to +40 °C. Storage temperature ranges from –20 °C to +70 °C. Object remission ranges from 4.5% to 100%. The device meets EMC standards EN 61000-6-2:2001 and EN 61000-6-4:2001. Vibration and shock resistance follow EN 60068-2-6, -27, -29, and -64.

Installation Guide

First, mount the scanner securely using the appropriate bracket. Ensure the reading field faces the target area. Next, connect the power supply within the ≤ 24 V DC range. Then, link the Ethernet cable for TCP/IP communication. For serial communication, use the RS-232 interface. Additionally, configure the digital inputs and outputs as needed. The four digital inputs accept control signals. Five digital outputs provide switching or analog signals. The six LEDs help verify proper operation. Finally, adjust the scanning frequency and angular resolution via software. The IP65 rating requires proper sealing of all connectors.
