10 Chapter 2 On safety Operating instructions WARNING Laser radiation The LMS S05 or LMS511 Traffic laser scanners used in the conform to laser class 1 (eye-safe) according to EN (see laser warning plate on the device for publication date). This ensures compliance with 21 CFR except for the tolerances according to Laser Notice No. 50 of July 26, The laser beam is not visible to the human eye. Improper use (e.g., opening the housing and stopping the motor) can result in dangerous exposure to radiation. Do not open the housing (opening the housing does not prevent the laser from switching on). Observe the laser safety regulations as per IEC Q1 (latest version). Important No maintenance is required to ensure compliance with laser class 1. The laser output aperture is the front screen of the LMS S05 or LMS511 Traffic laser scanner. The laser operates at a wavelength of γ = 905 nm (invisible infrared light). The radiation emitted in normal operation is harmless to human skin and eyes. The laser warning is located on the right-hand side of the laser scanner. WARNING Risk of injury due to electric current Connection to the power supply must be completed in a separate step. Only authorized personnel are allowed to perform electrical installation work. The power supply must always be disconnected when attaching and detaching electrical connections. Select and implement wire cross-sections and their correct fuse protection in accordance with the applicable standards. Observe the current safety regulations when working on electrical systems. WARNING Harmful potential equalization currents due to different ground potentials The has been designed and tested for electrical safety according to EN L1 (2006L04) and EN L1/A11 (2009L03). The system is connected to the peripheral devices (power supply, rotary encoder, PLC/host, any other sensors, etc.) via screened cables. The shield of each cable is connected to the metal housing of the laser scanner via the system plug. If the peripheral devices have metal housings and if the cable shields are also connected to these housings, it is assumed that all devices involved in the system have the same ground potential. This is achieved, for example, by complying with the following conditions: Mounting the devices on conductive metal surfaces Correctly grounding the devices and metal surfaces in the system Low-impedance and current-carrying equipotential bonding between areas with different ground potentials, if necessary 10 Operating Instructions SICK /

11 Operating instructions Chapter 2 On safety If these conditions are not met, e.g., on devices in a widely distributed system covering several buildings, potential equalization currents may flow along the cable shields between the devices due to different ground potentials and create a hazard. WARNING Risk of injury and damage caused by potential equalization currents Potential equalization currents between the and the peripheral devices can have the following effects: Dangerous voltages on the metal housing, e.g., of the LMS Incorrect functioning of or irreparable damage to the devices Damage/irreparable damage to the cable shields due to heating and cable fires WARNING Location of use The is intended solely for use in traffic zones. 2.5 Protection of the environment The components of the object detection system have been designed to minimize their impact on the environment. They consume little power and few natural resources. At work, you should always act in an environmentally responsible manner. For this reason, please note the following information on disposal. Disposal after final decommissioning Always dispose of unusable or irreparable devices in accordance with the applicable waste disposal regulations specific to your country.

These are used to capture the profile of the vehicle. The laser scanners used for this purpose are the LMS S05 Left/Right in the case of the VPS153 configuration and the LMS511 Traffic Left/Right in the case of the VPS553 configuration. The third laser scanner (2), which is aligned with the direction of travel, provides the length information. This scanner requires a larger scanning range. Therefore, both the VPS153 and the VPS553 system configurations rely exclusively on the LMS511 Traffic Length. The laser scanners are connected to the Traffic Controller (4) via an Ethernet switch (3). Fig. 3: An overview of the devices 14 Operating Instructions SICK /

15 Operating instructions Chapter 3 Product description The laser scanners within the coordinate system Precise laser scanner positioning is achieved using a three-dimensional coordinate system. The following axes apply to this coordinate system: The horizontal axis (x-axis) points to the right and left away from the lane. The edge of the road is the zero point of this axis. The vertical axis (y-axis) starts at the floor and points up. The movement axis (z-axis) points in the direction of travel. Fig. 4: The laser scanners within the coordinate system The laser scanner coordinates are defined with the help of the TEMS Manager software when the system undergoes calibration. The LMS511 Traffic/LMS S05 laser scanners The laser scanners capture the contour of the vehicle as it drives through. From a technical perspective, the vehicles are scanned by the laser scanners on one plane using the time-of-flight method. When an emitted laser beam is reflected by a target object, the position of the object is calculated in the form of a distance and an angle. These are then transferred to the central control unit so that further calculations can be performed. The laser is output through the front screen. This is indicated by a corresponding mark. Fig. 5: Laser output aperture of the LMS511 Traffic/LMS S05 laser scanners / Operating Instructions SICK 15

16 Chapter 3 Product description Operating instructions Both laser scanners feature automatic contamination measurement for the front screen. The contamination messages can be read directly on the device. Alternatively, they can be displayed/output at the downstream customer system using the Traffic Controller. Recommendation Detailed information on the operating principle of the laser scanners can be found in the operating instructions for the LMS5xx and LMS1xx product families. The Traffic Controller featuring VPS software Using the installed TEMS Recorder VPS software, the Traffic Controller calculates the dimensions of the vehicle on the basis of the distance data and the vehicle's respective position in the traffic lane. At the same time, the Traffic Controller serves as the central control unit for the measurement system. It provides the downstream systems with all the system data, the raw data calculated for the measurement, the measurement results, and the system messages on an ongoing basis via its Ethernet TCP/IP interface. Fig. 6: The Traffic Controller Note Setup, calibration, and fault analysis are also performed via the TCP/IP interface. An overview of the interfaces can be found in the next chapter System communication overview All communication between the individual system components and the downstream systems takes place via Ethernet TCP/IP interfaces. Fig. 7: System communication overview 16 Operating Instructions SICK /

17 Operating instructions Chapter 3 Product description All the laser scanners are connected to the Traffic Controller via an Ethernet switch. The TEMS Recorder is pre-installed on the Traffic Controller with VPS functionality. The TEMS Info client implemented on the customer side can be used to request measured values, measurement results, or even system status messages from the constant stream of TCP/IP data. The type of data to be transferred can be freely defined. For details of the data protocol used by the interface, please see the separate description of the TEMS Info interface. The system is set up using the TEMS Manager configuration software. TEMS Manager is installed on a customer computer and connected to the Traffic Controller via the Ethernet interface. TEMS Manager has a live view that allows you to configure, calibrate, and monitor the system via a graphical user interface The operating principle of the As soon as a vehicle enters the measuring system lane, the three laser scanners capture the contour of the vehicle. The laser scanners achieve this by setting up the measuring range and scanning the vehicle without making contact with it. The system does not require any reflectors or position marks. It is an active system featuring eye-safe infrared lasers. Fig. 8: The operating principle of the (measuring range shown in red) / Operating Instructions SICK 17

18 Chapter 3 Product description Operating instructions Determining the measuring points The two LMS Left/Right scanners (1) mounted on the gantry capture the top and side contours of the vehicle. The motion of the vehicle generates a point cloud made up of twodimensional sections. The LMS Length (2), which is aligned with the direction of travel, scans the front of the vehicle as it approaches. In this way, it is able to provide the length information and the time axis, to which the individual 2D sections are then assigned. The crucial factor is that LMS Length must always be able to detect the front of the vehicle. Fig. 9: The operating principle of the (determining measuring points) The measuring range must be optically free. The customer is responsible for ensuring that there are no foreign objects in the measuring range while the measurement is being performed. Any measuring points that result from environmental influences (e.g., fog or snow) and cannot be assigned to the object are suppressed using special filters. Fig. 10: The operating principle of the (blanking of environmental influences) In this way, the measurement can be greatly optimized and refined, even under harsh ambient conditions. 18 Operating Instructions SICK /

19 Operating instructions Chapter 3 Product description Processing measuring points The Traffic Controller joins together the individual 2D sections of the vehicle. When the vehicle's speed and respective position on the measuring strip are also taken into account, a 3D point cloud can be generated for the vehicle. The Traffic Controller can then use this to determine the length, width, and height dimensions. With the standard version of the, the vehicle dimensions are calculated using the following formulas: Height = Ymax(S) The maximum vehicle height is the maximum Y value of the 3D point cloud S. Length = Zmax(S) Zmin(S) The maximum vehicle length is the maximum Z value minus the minimum Z value of the 3D point cloud S / Operating Instructions SICK 19

20 Chapter 3 Product description Width = max_si (Xmax(Si) Xmin(Si) ) Operating instructions To calculate the vehicle width, sections (Si) are generated from the 3D point cloud (S) that extend 250 mm in the Z direction. The width is calculated for each section from the 3D point cloud. The maximum vehicle width is the maximum width across all the sections from the 3D point cloud. This calculation method compensates for errors that occur when vehicles do not travel through the measurement site in a perfectly straight line, but follow a slight curve instead. Note With the standard calculation method, the dimensions are determined with all vehicle superstructures (e.g., antenna) and attachments (e.g., side rearview mirrors) in place. If country-specific requirements stipulate that the vehicle dimensions must be determined without the antenna or side rearview mirrors, the calculation method can be adapted accordingly. For example, the can be configured so that the maximum width is only determined as of a defined distance in the Z direction, thereby excluding the side rearview mirrors from the calculation. Please contact SICK Support and remember to quote Application Note VPS553 Depending on how the is configured, the following measurement accuracy can be achieved on the basis of the standard calculation. Description Typical measurement accuracy Comment (±2σ) Length ±50 mm Speed < 7 km/h Width ±30 mm Speed < 7 km/h Height ±30 mm Speed < 7 km/h VPS153 Description Typical measurement accuracy Comment (±2σ) Length ±100 mm Speed < 7 km/h Width ±60 mm Speed < 7 km/h Height ±60 mm Speed < 7 km/h 20 Operating Instructions SICK /

21 Product description Operating instructions Chapter 3 TEMS Manager displays a 3D image of the measured vehicle. Fig. 11: 3D image of the vehicle in TEMS Manager If dimensional limits have been defined, these can be displayed in TEMS Manager in color. Transfer of measurement results The measurement results obtained while the vehicle is driving through are transferred by the control software of the Traffic Controller to downstream systems by sending a constant stream of TCP/IP data. The data is transferred via the TEMS Info interface (see chapter 6.5 Using the TEMS Info). The raw data (3D point cloud, measurement recording times, status messages) is transferred along with the measured dimensions. The customer is responsible for specifying which information is required for comparison against the defined target profile. With TEMS Manager, the measurement results can also be displayed and tracked in the live view. Using reference surfaces to detect movement of the laser scanners The two LMS Left/Right laser scanners mounted on the gantry do not just detect the contours of vehicles. They also detect the lane within the measuring range. The detected reference surfaces are an effective safeguard for protection against mechanical movement or rotation of the laser scanners. If the measuring points supplied deviate from the "known" measuring points of the contour (1) because the reference surface (2) has moved, a corresponding message is output via the TEMS Info interface. Fig. 12: Determination of reference surfaces / Operating Instructions SICK 21

22 Chapter 3 Product description In TEMS Manager, the laser scanner that has moved or rotated is shown in red. Operating instructions Note Make sure that the reference surface does not become obscured by piles of leaves or snow. 3.3 Project planning Several factors determine whether the will operate reliably and without any problems General system requirements To operate the measurement system, the following are required: Supply voltage: 24 V DC Host computer with TCP/IP data interface for setting up the system, carrying out further processing on the measurement results, and checking the system Measurement site requirements The is a system for measuring vehicles in which the vehicles are required to drive through one by one. In other words: Only one vehicle is allowed to be in the measuring range at any given time. Customers are responsible for ensuring that the measuring range is only ever occupied by a single vehicle, e.g., by installing their own red light or barrier. The system must be used on a single-lane section. This should be as flat as possible and must not include any bends. The measurement lane should be the length of the longest vehicle length to be measured plus 3 m. Due to the scanning range of the LMS Length, the length is restricted to 30 m. Fig. 13: Project planning (measurement site requirements) 22 Operating Instructions SICK /

23 Operating instructions Chapter 3 Product description Mounting requirements The measurement system requires a stable gantry that is secured to prevent rotation and offers sufficient load-bearing capacity to support both profile laser scanners (LMS Left/Right). The LMS Left/Right scanners are mounted on the left- and right-hand sides with the signal output side pointing down. If possible, the laser scanners should be on a single plane. The two LMS Left/Right laser scanners should be attached at a height of 5 to 8 m. The height should be at least 1 m higher than the maximum vehicle height. In this context, the measuring system should be dimensioned so that the minimum angle between the LMS Left/Right and the vehicle is guaranteed to be > 15. If the size of the biggest vehicle to be measured falls within the 15 lines, a sufficiently dense network of measuring points can be recorded during vehicle measurement. Fig. 14: Project planning (requirements when mounting the LMS Left/Right) The LMS Length can be mounted anywhere. This laser scanner can be attached at the side or mounted on a gantry or an overhead mast arm (as in the illustration above). Any mounting height can also be selected. The crucial factor is that LMS Length must always be able to detect the front of the vehicle as it drives through. Fig. 15: Project planning (requirements when mounting the LMS Length) / Operating Instructions SICK 23

24 Chapter 3 Product description Operating instructions In the same way as before, the detection range of the LMS Length must be respected. The distance between it and the gantry with the two LMS Left/Right scanners must be no more than 30 m. Notes Always make sure that all laser scanners have an unobstructed view of the measuring range. The laser scanners should always be attached in such a way that they are free from oscillations and vibrations Requirements for measured objects The can be used to measure vehicles of any type and class. The vehicles must have the following properties: Dimension Min. Max. Comment Length 1.0 m 30.0 m Scanning range of LMS511 Traffic Width 0.6 m 5.0 m Configurable extension Height 0.6 m 5.0 m Configurable extension Tab. 1: Requirements for measured objects (dimensions) The vehicles should drive through the measuring range in a straight line at a max. speed of 7 km/h. Up to and including this speed, full coverage can be guaranteed in terms of the measurement accuracy. In other words: The vehicle will be measured in full. If the vehicle drives through at higher speeds, there will be a loss of accuracy. Dimension Min. Recommended Max. Comment Speed 0.1 km/h 7 km/h 100 km/h Loss of accuracy above 7 km/h Tab. 2: Requirements for measured objects (speed) 24 Operating Instructions SICK /

27 Operating instructions Chapter 4 4 Mounting Mounting 4.1 Mounting the laser scanners General notes Mount the laser scanners at the designated locations. Be sure to observe the detailed drawings and information in the relevant operating instructions for the LMS5xx or LMS1xx product family. Important Please make a written note of the serial numbers on the LMS Left, LMS Right, and LMS Length. This information is required during the commissioning process. WARNING Be sure to closely observe the following notes during mounting: Mount the laser scanner so that it is protected from dirt and damage. Ensure that the field of view of the entire front screen is not restricted. Always mount the laser scanner in such a way that you are able to insert and remove the connector plug. Avoid excessive shock and vibration loading on the laser scanner. Recommendation Because of the ambient conditions, a weather protection cover is recommended. The weather protection cover also protects the laser scanner from direct sunlight on the laser scanner housing (overheating) and, to a great extent, from dazzle resulting from sunlight or other light sources Mounting the LMS Left/Right and LMS Length The two LMS Left/Right laser scanners on the gantry should be mounted at a downward vertical angle of 180. Depending on the system variant, the profile laser scanners either take the form of two LMS511 Traffic units or two LMS S05 units. Fig. 18: Mounting the LMS Left/Right on the gantry (in this case: LMS511 Traffic units) / Operating Instructions SICK 27

28 Chapter 4 Mounting Operating instructions The LMS511 Traffic Length must be mounted so that the front of the vehicle can always be detected as it is driving through. It can be mounted on a wall at the side, on an overhead mast arm, or on a gantry. Fig. 19: Mounting the LMS511 Traffic Length Note If you wish to use the automatic calibration wizard to calibrate the system (see chapter Working with the calibration wizard), the LMS Length must be mounted in the center of the traffic lane between the LMS Left and the LMS Right. Mounting kits and brackets Suitable mounting kits can be purchased from SICK AG for the purpose of mounting the devices (with or without a weather protection cover). If the bracket is supplied by the user, the following notes must be heeded: Stable mounting bracket that allows adjustable alignment of the laser scanner on the x- and y-axes. 4x M6 screws for the LMS511 Traffic, 2x M6 screws for the LMS S05. The length of the screws must be selected in accordance with the wall thickness or the bracket used. Note You can find detailed information on mounting the devices in the relevant device operating instructions.

Position When entering the values, pay attention to the alignment of the coordinate system: The x-axis runs crossways to the road. The first distance parameter (X) refers to the righthand edge of the roadway (as viewed in the direction of travel). The y-axis defines the mounting height of the laser scanners. The second distance parameter (Y) refers to the surface of the road. The z-axis points in the direction of travel. The third distance value refers to the front edge of the gantry (as viewed in the direction of travel) / Operating Instructions SICK 53

54 Chapter 6 Commissioning Operating instructions Rotation The laser scanners can be rotated about the x-, y-, and z-axes. The two laser scanners mounted on the gantry are aligned so that they point down vertically at an angle of 180. The laser scanner mounted on the overhead mast arm must be aligned so that the front of the vehicle can always be seen as it is driving through. Note The greater the precision with which you are able to determine the position and rotation of the laser scanners, the greater the measurement accuracy will be later on. The tolerances when entering the data depend on the specific application. Tip Right-click on one of the laser scanners. A window containing detailed information appears. From the graphical display, you can see what the laser scanner is measuring on the basis of the values entered. If there is no vehicle within the measuring range, the laser scanner measures the lane. Check whether the measurement is plausible and is an accurate reflection of the real situation. Under no circumstances may the measuring points slope or slant. The lane floor must be flat and even.
