Unit description

Intended Use

The radar sensor series MWC25M-L2M-B16 emits electromagnetic waves (radar waves) that are reflected from objects in the sensing range and received back by the radar sensor to detect objects, measure their distance from the sensor, and measure  the relative velocity of an object. The radar sensor operates according to the Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) method in the 122 GHz – 123 GHz ISM band, approved for industrial use. The sensor it emits a continuous radar signal that is varied in frequency within the frequency range of the ISM band. With this method, the sensor is able to reliably detect the distance and velocity of static and moving objects. When measuring velocity, the radar sensor detects the velocity of an object in the radial direction only, without measuring tangential velocity or parts of speeds.

Use and application
The radar sensor series MWC25M-L2M-B16 with CAN open interface for distances up to 25 m range is optimized for use in industrial applications. Its compact cubic housing of the L2 series is proven in many industrial areas due to its high robustness.
The radar sensor has a standardized CANopen interface according to CiA 301 specification. Via Service Data Objects (SDOs) the sensor can be parameterized for specific features in each application. You can e.g. parameterize the measurement mode, the foreground and background suppression as well as the minimum and maximum velocity suppression. In addition, it is possible to set many other parameters, such as the filter operating mode, the filter strength and the sampling rate. Alternatively to the parameterization via CAN-Bus, P+F offers a device type manager (DTM) using the FTD framework program PACTware. Herewith you can additionally use various evaluation and filter settings for distance and velocity values.
Typically, radar sensors are used in a variety of applications such as:
  • Distance measurement (between two vehicles, in a crane arm, between two cranes, etc.)
  • Velocity measurement (of trains, on AGVs, etc.)
  • Area monitoring/anti-collision monitoring (on front and rear of vehicles, etc.)
  • Fill level control (silo, agricultural tanks, etc.)
  • Height control (scissor lift table, work platforms, etc.)

Installation

Safety Information

Caution!

Risk of short circuit Carrying out work while the system is energized may result in damage to the device.

  • Always disconnect the supply voltage before carrying out work on the device.
  • Only connect the device to the supply voltage once all work has been completed.
Preparation 
Unpacking the Device 
  1. Check the packaging and contents for damage.
    • In the event of damage, inform the shipping company and notify the supplier.
  2. Check the package contents against your order and the shipping documents to ensure that all items are present and correct.
    • Should you have any questions, direct them to Pepperl+Fuchs.
  3. Retain the original packaging in case the device is to be stored or shipped again at a later date.
Connection
Applying Supply Voltage for a Sensor with V15 Connector Plug
To supply voltage to the sensor, proceed as follows:
  1. Insert the prepared connection cable into the connector plug provided for this purpose on the sensor.
  2. Screw the union nut onto the connector plug as far as it will go. This ensures that the power cable cannot be pulled out inadvertently.
  3. Now connect the supply voltage to the cables provided for this purpose and switch it on.
    • The sensor is now ready for operation.

Applying Supply Voltage to a Sensor Fixed Cable with Plug
To supply voltage to the sensor, proceed as follows:

  1. Connect the prepared connection cable to the plug of the sensor connection cable.
  2. If present, secure the plug connection with the securing elements provided.
  3. Now connect the supply voltage to the cables provided for this purpose and switch it on.
    • The sensor is now ready for operation.

Note:

  • Use a shielded 5-wire sensor connection cable to connect the sensor to a CAN open bus, because the pinout of the CAN open specification differs from the standard pinout.
  • For pin assignment or cable color assignment refer to the respective data sheet.
LED Indicators
The sensor has a status LED and a sensor LED.
Status LED
The Status LED is a two colour LED with green colour or red colour. A mixture of both colours in order to obtain an orange colour is not used. The status LED indicates the sensor / CAN-Bus status according to the definitions in the table detailed below,

  • LED is on, permanent yellow light indicates an object detected in the sensing range.
  • If the LED is off no object has been detected.
LED Configuration
The sensor configuration allows a LED off mode. The indication by LEDs can be completely disabled over the object 0x4001 according to section 4.3 of this document.

CANopen Interface

Commissioning 

Supported Features and Standards

The CANopen interface on the Pepperl+Fuchs Radar Sensor DS2 supports the following CANopen features:

  • Network management (NMT)
  • Heartbeat
  • Acyclic parameter access via service data objects (SDO)
  • 4 transmit process data objects (TPDO)
  • Layer setting services (LSS) for configuring the node ID and baud rate
  • Store/restore configuration

The CANopen interface for the 1D Radar Sensor works with the following standard configuration (factory setting):

  • Node ID: 16
  • Baud rate: 250 kBit/s (CiA)

Note:

Before connecting the device to a network, make sure to configure the node ID according to the IDs present in the network. A node ID must be unambiguous, otherwise message collisions and errors can occur.

Network management (NMT)
The CANopen standard CiA301 specifies 3 possible states for the sensor node.
  • Preoperational
  • Operational
  • Stopped
The node can be set to any of these states as required. When activated, a sensor always starts in preoperational state and issues a boot up message.
Network management (NMT)
Preoperational
PDO (process data) messages cannot be sent in the “preoperational” state; as such, this state is used to parameterize the sensor or indicate a standby state.
Operational
In the “operational” state, all communication services are performed and process data is exchanged.
Stopped
In the “stopped” state, only NMT (network management) messages can be sent; redundant or defective sensors can be isolated from the bus almost completely in this state. The network manager can issue NMT messages to prompt the sensor to change from one state to another. Other NMT functions include 2 reset commands for resetting either the entire sensor or bus communication only.

Setting the Baud Rate and Node ID
For DS2 baud rate and node ID can be configured via LSS.
Note:
Configuration of Node ID and Baud rate via LSS is active after power cycle.
Heartbeat Function
The interval after which status messages are sent can be set via the object 1017h “Producer heartbeat time”. Entering the value 0 will deactivate the function. Every other 16-bit value determines the heart- beat interval in milliseconds. Default value is 0 ms, Heartbeat disabled (acc. to CiA301 profile requirements).

Status: 05h, sensor in “operational” state

Error Register
The error register shows the appearance of event or errors of the sensor. Each event or error is coded bit by bit and multiple errors can be indicated at any time. A value of 0 is indicated if no error occurred. The error register can be accessed using object 0x1001h.

Operation and Communication

Process Data Object (PDO)
A maximum of 8 bytes of useable data can be sent in each message using the process data object (PDO).  This feature is only available in the operational state and can be activated in dif ferent modes, set using the object 0x1800 “TPDO Communication Parameter” and 0x1A00 “TPDO mapping parameter.” A total of 2 transmit PDOs will be supported in the final product – currently in use is only 1 transmit PDO. The protocol supports dynamic PDO mapping. Example of the default PDO1 message: This PDO message contains measuring readings of the sensor that are sent periodically and automatically once new values are available (event triggered). The measuring rate of the device is 50Hz (per default value).

1 1 Distance real32 [300; 50000 mm]0 if no target de- tected This object contains up to ten reflections of targets. All reflections are output without any influence of fil- ters or suppressions. Each reflection shows the following values:-distance in mm-velocity in cm/s-amplitude in digits
2 2 Velocity real32 [0; +/-8000 cm/s]0 if target does not move
3 3 Amplitude real32 [0; 100000]0 if no target de- tected
… Distance… Velocity… Amplitude
31 GetAll String Subindex 31 returns all re- flections at once. The val- ues need to be converted from bytes to float.
