Integrated Web Server & Pilot Laser
simple sensor alignment and remote configuration
All IDS sensors are delivered with an integrated webserver, allowing
the end-user to configure and align the device at ease after physical
connection with the local area network (LAN). An integrated, soft-
ware-controllable visible pilot laser greatly simplifies the alignment
process. In addition to the intial setup process, the web interface of the
IDS further enables the remote upgrade of device specific firmware and
the readback of absolute position values (sensor-target separation).
