The Sick TiM 2D LiDAR sensors offer a high performance for field evaluation and measurement data output in a compact housing.
Scanning ranges go up to 25m and working ranges go up to 270°.
Settings
| Property | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Sick Laser | User-friendly name. |
| Enable | ON | Activate to enable the device. |
| Run at startup | ON | Activate to enable the device at Kinetic startup. |
| IP | 192.168.0 | Enter the IP address of your device. Your device and Kinetic Designer should be on the same subnet. |
| Port | 2112 | TCP/IP port used by the device. Do not change unless you know what you are doing. |
| Minimum points to create a Cluster | 2 | A cluster is a group of close points which have a position that will be tracked . This setting can help to reduce noise. |
| Cluster Expiration Time (ms) | 300 | Time before a cluster is dropped when it is not detected anymore. |
| Maximum Clustering Distance (mm) | 50 | Threshold for points close together to be considered as one cluster. |
| Tracking Move Threshold (mm) | 2 | Threshold under which movement is not considered movement but eliminated as noise. |
| Maximum Matching Distance (mm) | 600 | Threshold over which a cluster can’t be matched as being the same cluster after a movement. |
| Minimum Life time (ms) | 0 | Minimum time a cluster must exist before being considered a cluster. This setting can help to reduce noise from reflections. |
| Process noise covariance (mm) | 1.0 | Error expected on position evaluation. |
| Measure noise covariance (mm) | 4.0 | Error expected on position measurement. |
| Positioning Algorithm | Centroid | Method to describe the position of a cluster. ● Centroid: Computes the average of all point coordinates to define the cluster coordinates ● Nearest point: Defines cluster’s position at the coordinates of the cluster’s nearest point to the origin ● Nearest point centroid: Computes an average like centroid but by using the (maximum) 8 nearest points to the origin |
| Bounding Box | OFF | Enable bounding box. |
