2 Advantages of the MLG-2 compared to the MLG-1

The MLG-2 offers the following advantages over the MLG-1:

■Able to detect smaller objects (high-resolution mode)

■Improved detection of transparent objects thanks to “Transparent mode”

■Improved ambient light immunity due to the smaller aperture angle

■Better able to adapt to the environment and the application thanks to a variety of

operating modes

■Shorter response times and minimum presence time

■Smaller minimum distances when mounting multiple light grids

■Flexible mounting of removable fieldbus module (no blind zone)

■Removable fieldbus modules that can be ordered separately

■Control panel for easy commissioning without a PC

■IO-Link interface V.1.1

■Easy configuration with the SOPAS configuration software via an Ethernet interface

■Configuration options for multiple applications (measuring tasks)

For additional information, see the relevant operating instructions.

2 ADVANTAGES OF THE MLG-2 COMPARED TO THE MLG-1

3 Response times

As the MLG-2 offers shorter response times, you may have to adjust the PLC configura‐

tion. Alternatively, you can also set a digital output delay for the MLG-2. See the relevant

MLG-2 operating instructions.

Figure 2: Comparison of response times for MLG-1 / XLG and MLG-2 with parallel-beam function,

The response time depends on the beam function and on which basic function is

selected.

In the case of the cross-beam function, multiply the response time in the diagram by 2.
