TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL
2.3 Automatic mode
The automatic mode is provided for host-less operation of the DLS-A(H). The analog and digitals outputs are
updated according the configuration described below as soon as the unit is powered up.
Analog Output
The analog output is configurable and works with two ranges:
– 0..20mA
– 4..20mA
Digital Outputs
Three digital outputs are included in the DLS-A(H). Two are programmable, while the third is used to
signal an error state of the device.
2.3.1 Configuration
After connecting the module, the following steps are necessary to configure the DLS-A(H) for the automatic
mode.
No. Action Comment Command
1
Set current output
range
Defines if the current output range
from 0 to 20mA respectively from 4
to 20mA.
Example for module 0:
Set current output range from 4mA
to 20mA.

2
Set distance range Defines minimum distance (D
min
)
and the maximum distance (D
max
)
for the distance range of the analog
output.
Example for module 0:
Set distance range from 0m to 10m

Set analog output in
error case
Sets the current, that should be
applied in case of an error.
Example for module 0:
Set current to 0mA in case of an
error.

Configure digital
output
Set the ON and OFF level for the
digital outputs.
Example for module 0:
DO 1: off=2000mm on=2005mm
DO 2: off=4000mm on=4005mm
