Displacement/Dimensional Measurement Systems

This page introduces KEYENCE’s lineup of displacement/dimensional measurement systems with communication functionality in addition to the supported networks and connection examples.

Lineup of displacement/dimensional measurement systems with communication functionality

Communication units for the LK-G5000 Series

Communication units for the LJ-V7000/LS-9000 Series

Connection example

The communication interface on the controller or compatible communication units can be used to connect products using an open network, Ethernet, or RS-232C.
*See “Supported networks” below for more information on the network compatibility of each series.

(Ex.) LJ-V7000 Series

RS-232C

PLC link connectivity of PLCs made by various other manufacturers is possible via RS-232C/Ethernet.

Typical connection example

Connecting to a network makes it possible to collect and manage various information from displacement and dimensional measurement systems. This allows for the construction of information systems for PLC-based calculations, changeovers, production management, and more.

The following example includes a network-connected displacement/dimensional measurement system.

On-the-spot analysis of measurement data without a PC

The PLC can be used for on-the-spot analysis of measurement data with no need to prepare a PC specifically for analysis. The ability to freely program calculations in the PLC also allows for compound judgments Measured shapes can also be visualized in graphs when using a touch panel.
