Dual Sensor Teaching

When using two ILS sensors it is necessary to teach a common origin. The following prerequisites apply for dual sensor teaching.

  • Three tags with unique ID numbers.

  • The tags have a space of a minimum 200 mm apart from each other.

  • The tags are horizontal.

  • The tags are positioned in the common field of view (FOV) of the sensors.

  • The common FOV is at least 300x300 mm.

  • The tags are placed near or on the same plane as the one that will be used for bolt positions in ILG.

If all bolts are on a horizontal plane the tags for dual sensor teaching could be tilted around 5 to 10 degrees. Note that it is the plane created by the tags that should be tilted and not the tags themselves.

Teaching Dual Sensors
  1. In Setup Mode, on the ILS Sensor page, in the Workspace tab, select the Start button to track all the tags.

  2. Position the three tags in the common FOV.

  3. Verify that all three tags are visible in both sensor 1 and in sensor 2, by looking at the column 1 and 2 in the table. There should be a check mark for each tag in both columns.

  4. Select the TEACH ALL SYSTEM DATUM button.

  5. Select the IDs of the tags that should be used for origin, x-axis direction and the xy-plane.

  6. Select Save.

  7. Select the STOP button.

  8. Use the NutEagle WPF GUI application in each sensor. On the Detection page in NutEagle verify that tags of the same ID have the same coordinates in both sensors.
