Web server#

The DigiScan XD4100 has a builtin web server. The gauge measurements and parameters can be easily accessed from a PC, tablet, smartphone connected on the same Ethernet or Wifi network using a Webbrowser.

url:

  • gauge ip address

  • xd4100-xxx/ (where xxx are the 3 last digits of the gauge serial number available on the label near the connectors).

Change of parameters is possible only after login

  • Login: delta

  • password: xd

Main display#

../_images/main.png

Tip: Use F11 for full-screen mode, Ctrl + Mouse scroll wheel for zoom - unzoom

Graphs:

Display of 5 graphs. The user can select the following data: Width, Width deviation, Cold width (after contraction width at 20°C), Centre line, Edges position x and y, Strip speed, Strip temperature, Gauge internal temperature (Strip speed and temperature are optional and provided by user from a 4-20 mA input or from one of the network connection (Modbus TCP, OPCUA, field bus (option)).

Note: All measures are recorded and can be displayed using the same screen (History menu)

Right column display:

  • Measure box: on top display the same data as selected for graph number 1.

  • Statistic box: provides information about the strip. The displayed statistics are reset when the gauge detects a new strip (head).

  • Product data box: display strip identification, nominal width, range low, range high, Expension coefficent. These information are transferred by the host to the gauge. If the strip cold width is not within the range limit the indicator “Width out of range” is activated.

  • Gauge status box: display the measurement status and the gauge status. Will be displayed in orange for warning.

Graph setup#

../_images/setup_graph.png
Graph 1…5

Define the label for the different graphs

Temperature min max

Define the temperature map scale (option required)

Previous number

Define the number of previous product width displayed

Remove head and tail(Previous)

Number of measurements removed at head/tail for previous display

x axis

Selection of x axis time or length

Flipped

Invert x axis

Period

Number of second displayed


Note

  • Graph setup parameters are saved in web client computer and are different for each gauge connected.

  • Some parameters depend on the gauge options.

Gauge setup#

../_images/XD4100_Gauge_setup.png
Verif Fixture

Positions of the slot of the verification fixture (value available on the label of the verification fixture) and in the project file.

Camera Pixel
Defines the range of valid pixels for right and left cameras.

  • Leading min, Leading max : leading edge (dark to light) min and max position in pixels

  • Falling min, Falling max : falling edge (light to dark) min and max position in pixels

Leading edges are scanned from “Leading min” to “Leading max”, and Falling edges are scanned from “Falling max” to “Falling min”.

Factory setup for application working in “Light mode” (light emission from strip):

  • Leading min = 2

  • Leading max = 4094

  • Falling min = 2

  • Falling max = 4094

Factory setup for application working in “Dark mode” (backlight):

  • Leading min = 2048

  • Leading max = 4094

  • Falling min = 2

  • Falling max = 2048

Product Setup Input

Select the origin of the product setup data

Apply new:

  • Immediate: the new product setup is applied immediately when received

  • Next_head: the new product setup is applied when a head is detected. When a new product setup is received the product ID is greyed and will be change to black when it is applied (detection of a head)

Cold width compute:

  • Coefficient: a constant Coefficient of thermal expansion is applied

  • Grade_table: the Coefficient of thermal expansion is obtained from a Grade table and is depending of the product temperature

Speed input

Set the origin of the speed

Temperature input

Set the origin of the temperaure

Register input

Set the origin of digital inputs

Analog output setup

Set for the internal analogue outputs: the label, the range and default value

Analog input setup

Set for the internal analogue inputs: the label, the range and default value

Digital io setup

Set for the internal Inputs and Outputs labels

Statistics

Set the number of measurement samples removed at head/tail for the evaluation of min, max, average, standard deviation

Offset

Set the X and Y offsets to have centerline to 0 and Y position to 0. When “Invert X axis” is checked, all the X pixels postions are inverted.

Options

DigiScan XD4100, has different options such as Thermal Profile, Grade tables, External IO, Field Bus… or can be customized at customer request.

Plugin: Select the folder which contains the different configuration files related to the definition of the options. Refer to the project file for specific details.

Emissivity: Set the emissivity for Thermal Profile option.

Note

Gauge parameters linked to the camera scans and edge determination are available in the diagnostic screen. For more information refer to the chapter: Diagnostic. The parameters available in this screen depend on the gauge options.
