2.2 Intended use
The MLG-2 WebChecker is a measuring automation light grid. The MLG-2 is designed
f
or op
tical and non-contact edge detection and width measurement of flexible and rigid
sheets of material.
A measuring automation light grid is designed for mounting and may only be operated
according to its intended function. For this reason, it is not equipped with direct safety
devices.
The system designer must provide measures to ensure the safety of persons and sys‐
tems in accordance with the legal guidelines.
In the event of any other usage or modification to the MLG-2 measuring automation
light grid (e.g., due to opening the housing during mounting and electrical installation)
or in the event of changes made to the SICK software, any claims against SICK AG
under the warranty will be rendered void.

T
he measurement field width is calculated from the ordered module number. Positions

epresent the module number in the type code.
The module width is always 150 mm. The largest possible measurement field with of
3,150 mm results from the possible module number of 21. The smallest possible mea‐
surement field width is a measurement module with 150 mm.
NOTE
A maximum of 16 me
asurement modules can be used in one MLG-2 WebChecker. The
light grid can be filled with empty modules. A maximum of 19 empty modules may be
used and the total number of modules must not exceed 21.
There must be at least one measurement module on the connection side and on the
head side. If no empty modules are used, all active modules on the terminal compart‐
ment must be specified.

3.3 Structure and function
The MLG-2 is an optical automation light grid. It comprises a sender and a receiver.
T
he sender consis
ts of sender optics, several sender elements (LEDs), and actuation
electronics. The receiver consists of receiver optics, several receiver elements (photodi‐
odes) and actuation electronics.

3.3.2 Measurement principle
Providing no object is located between the sender and receiver, the light beams from
the sender LEDs will hit the receiver LEDs.
If an object is located between the sender and receiver, the light beams will be inter‐
rupted, depending on the size of the object.
The MLG-2 works with the cross beam function. When the cross-beam function is
enabled, the light beam from a sender LED is received by three receiver LEDs in two
scans.
You get the most accurate measurement result when you place the material sheet or
sheets in the optimal object position. The optimal object position is the distance
between the sender and the object to be detected and is about 2/3 of the distance
between the sender and receiver, see figure 19, page 26. The light beams are distrib‐
uted uniformly at the optimal object position. The electronics in the receiver observe
the completely and partially interrupted light beams for evaluation. The exact object
position is determined energetically within a beam.

Scanning ranges
The oper
ating range is the distance between sender and receiver for which the MLG-2
works safely. The operating range is 2.5 m and takes into account an operating reserve.
Measurement field width
The MLG-2 consists of measurement modules and optionally empty modules. The mea‐
surement modules can be located on the connection side and on the head of the
MLG-2. Empty modules do not have LEDs.
The measurement field width is calculated from the ordered module number. Positions
9 to 11 represent the module number in the type code.

Beam separation and minimum object length
A minimum objec
t length is required so that an object is detected by the MLG-2.
Table 7: Beam separation and minimum object length
Beam separation Minimum detectable object length (stationary
objec
t)
5 mm 4 mm
Additional minimum distances see "Req
uired minimum distances for an object",
page 28.
The minimum object length level depends on the following factors:
•
From the speed with which the object moves. The higher the speed, the longer the
object has to be.
•
The response time. The response time depends on the measurement field width.
The wider the measurement field width, the higher the scan time and the
response time.
3.5 Scan time
With the MLG-2, not all light beams are active at the same time. The light beams are
al
w
ays processed from the terminal compartment.
The scan time depends on the number of beams of the MLG-2. The higher the number
of beams, the higher the scan time.
The MLG-2 works with the cross beam function. When the cross-beam function is
enabled, the light beam from a sender LED is received by three receiver LEDs in two
scans.

Figure 9: MLG-2 scan time, example of read direction of the connection side
The response times of the outputs result from the scan time.
T
he response time is the time it takes for an output to react following the detection of
an object. The typical response time is 3 × the scan time plus the transmission time to
the outputs. The optional Smoothing function can be used to multiply the response
time.
The data is transmitted in a cycle.
3.6 Operating reserve
The operating reserve defines the operational safety before contamination, vibrations,
mis
ali
gnment, temperature fluctuations, etc. cause the MLG-2 to produce incorrect
measurements.

The MLG-2 is subject to a certain level of contamination depending on its environment
and applica
tion. In principle, the MLG-2 must be cleaned regularly and a sensor teach-
in should be carried out after cleaning.
3.7 Minimum object attenuation
For the MLG-2 to detect the object, the object must dampen the energy of the light
beams eit
her completely or at least by 20%. An attenuation of 20% is achieved by mate‐
rials with a transmission of up to 80%.
If the MLG-2 is to detect partially transparent objects, in SOPAS ET, for the Sensitivity
parameter, you have to select the Medium or Fine option.
In materials with high transmission, the temperature difference between the operating
temperature and the temperature during teach-in must be less than ± 15 K.
The following prerequisites must be met:
•
The sender and receiver must be aligned precisely with one another.
•
The front screens from the sender and receiver must always be kept clean.
