2 Overview

The A-GAGE™ EZ-ARRAY™ measuring light screen is ideal for such applications as on-the-fly product sizing and profiling, edge-guiding and center-guiding, loop tensioning control, hole detection, parts counting, and similar uses (see Figure 2-1).

Emitters and receivers are available with arrays from 150 to 2400mm (5.9" to 94.5") long. The emitter has a column of infrared light emitting diodes (LEDs) spaced 5mm apart; their light is collimated and directed toward the receiver, positioned opposite the emitter, which has photodiodes on the same 5mm pitch. The light from each emitter LED is detected by the corresponding receiver photodiode.

This sophisticated light curtain is capable of detecting opaque cylindrical objects as small as 5mm in diameter or measuring part edges within 2.5 mm, depending on the scanning method selected (see Scanning Method ). The sensing range is 400 mm to 4 m (16" to 13').

The EZ-ARRAY’s two-piece design makes it economical and easy to use. Controller functionality is built into the receiver housing. It can be configured for many straightforward applications simply by configuring the six-position DIP switch on the front of the receiver (the receiver user interface).The IO-Link communication interface provides the capability for more advanced control and monitoring. See IO-

Link Interface .

Installation is easy, too. The emitter and receiver housings can be side-mounted or end-cap-mounted using the included end-cap brackets; longer models also include a center bracket (see Mounting the Emitter and Receiver ).

Beam synchronization is achieved via the 8-conductor sensor cables. Individual LEDs and a 3-digit diagnostic display on the receiver provide ongoing visual sensing status and diagnostic information. Comprehensive data is available to a process controller via a combination of four outputs: two analog and two discrete (discrete output 1 is an IO-Link output). The IO-Link output provides a discrete output

(SIO mode) or a communication interface (IO-Link mode).

Figure 2-1. Typical A-GAGE EZ-ARRAY application


2.1 System Components

A typical A-GAGE EZ-ARRAY has four components: an emitter and a receiver, each with an integral quick-disconnect (QD) fitting, plus an 8-pin

QD cordset for the emitter and for the receiver (see Figure 2-2).

For applications that use the IO-Link interface, an additional cable splitter is used to convert the receiver 8-pin connector to a compatible M12 connector.

2.2 Features

Built-in features in the EZ-ARRAY contribute to its ease of use.

Many features are available using either the user-friendly receiver interface or the more advanced IO-Link interface.

Built-in diagnostic programming and easy-to-see indicators on the receiver simplify physical alignment and troubleshooting

(Figure 2-3); more advanced diagnostics are available via the

IO-Link interface.

The receiver has a bright LED that indicates overall sensing status (OK, marginal alignment, and hardware error). Two other LEDs indicate serial communication status. Seven Zone indicators each communicate the blocked / aligned status of oneseventh of the total array. A 3-digit diagnostic display provides further diagnostic information, including number of beams blocked, whether blanking is configured, and troubleshooting codes.

The emitter has a red LED that signals proper operation (ON when power is applied). See Status Indicators for more information about indicators and Troubleshooting and Error Codes for display codes and troubleshooting.

The Alignment routine ( Alignment Blanking Button or Alignment Blanking Routine ) automatically equalizes the excess gain of each beam for reliable object detection throughout the array. This routine need not be performed again unless the sensing application changes, or if the emitter and/or receiver is moved.

Configurable beam blanking accommodates machine components and fixtures that must remain in or move through the light screen.

Blanking may be set using the receiver interface, the teach wire, or the IO-Link interface.

The EZ-ARRAY light screen provides a wide selection of sensing and output options, including measurement (“scan analysis”) modes and scanning methods that can determine a target object’s location, overall size, total height, or total width, or the number of objects.

Scanning may be continuous or controlled by a gate sensor.

2.3 Configuration via DIP Switch or IO-Link Interface

Commonly used configuration options can be set up easily via a six-position DIP switch located behind a hinged clear access panel on the front of the receiver.

Access to the DIP switch can be prevented by using the screw-on security plate to hold the clear access panel closed or by disabling them via the IO-Link interface.

2.3.1 Outputs

All models have two analog outputs and two discrete outputs (discrete output 1 is an IO-Link output).

The analog outputs are 0–10V voltage. They may be configured (via DIP switch or IO-Link interface) for either a positive or negative slope.

Discrete output 1 is always used for measurement; discrete output 2 may be used either for alarm or measurement operation (selectable via DIP switch or IO-Link interface). When the receiver interface is used, discrete output 1 and analog output 1 follow the same measurement mode. When the IO-Link interface is used for configuration, discrete output 2 has full configurability, including measurement mode,

NPN or PNP polarity, and normally open or normally closed operation. Discrete output 1 has the same configurability as discrete output

2, except for NPN or PNP polarity. Discrete output 1 is a dedicated push-pull output.

2.3.2 Display Invert

For applications where the sensors must be mounted with the display end at the top (so that the display is not right-reading), the receiver’s diagnostic display can be inverted for easy reading, either by use of the receiver’s remote wire ( Receiver Gray (Remote Teach) Wire ) or the IO-Link interface (HW Interface Flags in Appendix: General Configuration ).

2.4 Status Indicators

Both the emitter and receiver provide ongoing visual indication of operating and configuration status.

The emitter has a red LED that signals proper operation (ON when power is applied).

The receiver has a bright Status LED that indicates overall sensing status (OK, marginal alignment, and hardware error). Two other LEDs indicate whether communication is active or if there is an error. Seven Zone indicators each communicate the blocked/aligned status of one-seventh of the total array. A 3-digit diagnostic display provides further diagnostic information: number of beams blocked, whether blanking is configured, and troubleshooting codes. See Troubleshooting and Error Codes for display codes and troubleshooting.

2.4.1 Zone Indicators (Beams Blocked Segment)

Seven LEDs represent emitter/receiver alignment status. They provide a visual aid for sensor alignment and monitoring objects within the sensor’s field of view. The sensor array is partitioned into seven equal segments, each of which is represented by one of the seven LEDs.

The LED closest to DIP switch S6 (see Figure 5-1) represents the group of optical channels closest to the receiver display (the “bottom” group). The LED closest to DIP switch 1 represents the far segment of channels.

These LEDs illuminate either green or red. When an LED is green, no unblanked beams are obstructed in that segment. When the LED is red, one or more beams in that segment is obstructed.

2.4.2 Three-Digit Display

The 3-digit display has slightly different functions during normal operation, alignment, and gain adjust modes. In normal operation the display indicates the current numerical value of measurement mode 1. The display also identifies the following activated sensor functions: blanking and locked-out user interface/electronic configuration, as shown in Figure 2-4. (For directions for inverting the display, see

Receiver Gray Wire or see HW Interface Flags in General Configuration .)

Rev.B

During blanking mode, the display reads “n”, followed by the number of blocked beams in the array. During alignment mode, it reads “A”, followed by the number of blocked, unblanked beams; a period follows the A (“A.”) if blanking is configured.

During gain adjust mode, the display reads “

” followed by “1” or “2” to indicate the gain level. (A “1” represents high excess gain, and a

If a sensing error occurs, the display reads “c” followed by a number that corresponds to the recommended corrective action (see Troubleshooting and Error Codes ).

2.4.3 Blanking Indicator

The Blanking indicator will be visible (ON) when the blanking feature is enabled. It appears as a period following the first digit of the display.

2.4.4 Electronic Configuration Indicator

The Electronic Configuration indicator is ON when the sensor configuration is defined by the IO-Link interface, and not the DIP switch.

When electronic configuration is enabled, the DIP switch is ignored.

2.5 Receiver Gray (Remote Teach) Wire

The receiver gray (remote teach) wire is used to electronically emulate the receiver push button functions (see Troubleshooting and Error

Codes ) via a process controller, to disable the DIP switches for security, or to provide a gate input to initiate sensor scanning. Connect a normally open switch between the receiver's gray wire and dc common, or connect the gray wire to a digital input (PLC) and pulse the wire as indicated in Figure 2-5.

NOTE: A low level is 0 to 2 volts and a high level is 10 to 30 volts or circuit open. Input impedance is 22k.

Remote TEACH/Gate in the determines the functionality of the receiver gray wire (see Remote TEACH/Gate in Scan Configuration ).

• Disabled: The remote wire has no function (regardless of whether it is low or high). When the gray wire is disabled, the receiver is in continuous scan mode; it begins a new scan immediately after updating the outputs from the previous scan. (Continuous scan is used in most analog output applications and whenever continuous updating of the outputs is acceptable.) The gray wire is always enabled when in DIP switch mode.

• Remote Teach: The gray wire provides the full Remote Teach functionality shown in Figure 2-5.

• Alignment/Sensitivity: This mode is an abbreviated version of Remote Teach. It can perform the alignment and sensitivity adjustment functions, but not the display inversion or DIP switch enable/disable functions.

Gate Mode options enable the gray wire to be wed as a gate input pulse, typically from a dc device such as an NPN-output photoelectric sensor or a PLC discrete output.

• Gate - Active High - The receiver scans whenever the gate is pulled high.

• Gate - Active Low - The receiver scans whenever the gate is pulled low.

• Gate - Rising Edge - The receiver scans once for each low-to-high gate transition. (Multiple transitions cannot be faster than the sensor's response for them to be reliably detected.)

• Gate - Falling Edge - The receiver scans once for each high-to-low gate transition. (Multiple transitions cannot be faster than the sensor's response for them to be reliably detected.)

The factory default is Receiver Interface enabled.

Four-pulsing the remote line saves the current settings and disables the interface (the sensor continues to operate using the saved settings; changes made to the DIP switch will have no effect).

Repeating the process enables the Receiver Interface so that settings can be changed.

2.6 Scanning Method

One of three scanning methods may be configured:

• Straight Scan

• Single-edge Scan

• Double-edge Scan (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 steps)

Sensor response time is a function of sensor length and scanning method. Maximum scan times are shown in Figure 2-8.

2.6.1 Straight Scan

Straight Scan is the default mode, in which all beams are scanned in sequence, from the display end to the far end of the array. This scanning method provides the smallest object detection size. Straight scan is used when low-contrast sensitivity is selected or when single-edge and double-edge scan cannot be used. The edge resolution is 5 mm (0.2"). When low-contrast sensing is selected (used when measuring semi-transparent objects), the minimum object detection size is 5 mm (0.2") diameter. When high-excess-gain sensing is selected, the minimum object detection size is 10 mm (0.4"). See Figure 2-6.

2.6.2 Single-Edge Scan

Single-Edge Scan is used to measure the height of a single object. This scanning method is commonly used for box height measurement. For single-edge scan, the receiver always activates the first beam channel (or "bottom" beam, nearest the display). When the first beam is blocked, the sensor performs a binary search to hunt for the last beam blocked, as follows:

1. The receiver scans only the first beam until it is blocked (see Figure 2-7).

2. When the first beam is blocked, the sensor looks to see whether the middle beam is blocked or made (unblocked).

3. If the middle beam is made (unblocked), the sensor checks the bottom quarter beam; if the middle beam is blocked, the sensor checks the top quarter beam.

4. The routine continues to divide the number of beams in half until the edge is found.

Single-edge scan can be used only for single, solid objects that block the first beam (closest to the display). Because the receiver checks only the first beam until it is blocked, single-edge scan will not function when the item to be measured does not block the first beam.

Single-edge scan is also ineffective if the object does not present a continuous blocked pattern.

Single-edge scan works only when the high-excess-gain setting is enabled. When single-edge scan is selected, the sensor object detection size is 10 mm and edge resolution is 2.5 mm.

2.6.3 Double-Edge Scan

Double-Edge Scan is used to detect two edges of a single object, for example, to determine box width measurements. Double-edge scan requires the selection of a step size: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 beams. The sensor uses the steps to "skip" over beams, as follows:

1. The sensor activates beam 1 (closest to the sensor display end).

2. The sensor activates the next beam, determined by the step size. (For example, if the step size is 2, beam 3 is next; if the step size is 8, beam 9 is next.)

3. As long as the activated beam is made (unblocked), the sensor continues the stepping routine until a blocked beam is found.

4. When a blocked beam is found, a binary search is conducted to find the object's "bottom" edge.

5. When the bottom edge is found, the sensor continues to step through the array until it finds the next unblocked beam.

6. Another binary search is performed to find the second edge.

Similar to single-edge scan, double-edge scan has some restrictions: the object should provide a solid obstruction; the size of the object determines the maximum step size (Figure 2-6). Double-edge scan can be used to detect up to three objects. Like single-edge scan, double-edge scan works only when the high-excess-gain setting is selected. When double-edge scan is selected, the sensor object detection size varies, depending on the step size, but edge resolution is 2.5 mm.

The EZ-ARRAY provides two gain options for straight scan applications: high excess gain and low contrast. The gain method can be selected using the receiver push button, the receiver remote teach wire, or the IO-Link interface.

High (maximized) excess gain is suited for detecting opaque objects and for reliable sensing in dirtier environments where objects to be detected are 10 mm or larger. The high excess gain method is always used in single- and double-edge scan. The high excess gain option has a minimum blocked threshold level, which provides reliable sensing at higher excess gain levels.

The low-contrast setting is used for sensing semi-transparent materials and for detecting objects as small as 5 mm (straight scan only).

In low-contrast operation, only a portion of a beam must be blocked for detection to occur. In low-contrast operation, the sensor sets an individual threshold for each optical channel during the alignment process; this process equalizes the signal strength to allow semi-transparent object detection.

When using the IO-Link interface, low-contrast sensing provides a fine-tune sensitivity setting of 15% to 50%. When using the receiver interface, low-contrast sensitivity is always 30%.

2.8 Electronic Alignment Routine

The objective of the optical alignment process is to adjust the emitter light level to maximize sensor performance. Perform the alignment procedure at installation and again whenever the emitter and/or receiver is moved.

During the alignment procedure, the receiver polls each beam channel to measure excess gain and performs a gain adjustment for each beam. When the system exits the alignment procedure, each channel's signal strength is stored in non-volatile memory.

The procedure can be performed using the receiver remote wire, the receiver interface push button or the IO-Link interface (see Receiver

Gray Wire , Alignment/Blanking Button , or refer to Alignment Blanking Routine ). The receiver's Alignment push button may be disabled, by configuration thru the IO-Link interface.

2.9 Blanking

If a machine fixture or other equipment blocks one or more sensing beams, the affected beam channels may be blanked. The blanking option causes the receiver to ignore the status of blanked beams for measurement mode calculations. For example, if a machine fixture blocks one or more beams during sensing, the output data will be incorrect; if the beams blocked by the fixture are blanked, the output data will be correct. Blanking may be configured using the receiver's Alignment push button, the receiver remote wire, or the IO-Link interface.

2.10 Measurement Mode Selection

The outputs may be configured for any of fourteen measurement (scan analysis) modes, which refer to specific beam locations, quantities of beams, or edge transitions. Note that not all measurement mode options are available when the receiver interface is used for configuration. Selected modes are individually assigned to each output (see Configuration DIP Switch or refer to Measurement 1 and

Measurement 2 table in General Configuration ).

When using the IO-Link interface for configuration, discrete output 2 can have NPN or PNP polarity (regardless of model), be normally open or normally closed, and be assigned to any of the measurement modes. Discrete output 1 has the same configuration options as discrete output 2, except for NPN or PNP polarity. Discrete output 1 is the IO-Link output and is a dedicated push-pull output. When using the receiver interface, limited output configuration combinations may be selected see ( Configuration DIP Switch ).

NOTE: Array beams are numbered in sequence (beam 1 located nearest the sensor display; see Figure 2-3).

The "first beam" referenced in the following descriptions is the beam nearest the sensor display.

"Beam Location" Modes

First Beam Blocked (FBB)

The location of the first blocked beam.

First Beam Made (FBM)

The location of the first made (unblocked) beam.

Last Beam Blocked (LBB)

The location of the last blocked beam.

Last Beam Made (LBM)

The location of the last made beam.

Middle Beam Blocked (MBB)

The location of the beam midway between the first and last blocked beams.

"Beam Total" Modes

Total Beams Blocked (TBB)

The total number of blocked beams.

Total Beams Made (TBM)

The number of beams made.

Contiguous Beams Blocked (CBB)

The largest number of consecutively blocked beams.

Contiguous Beams Made (CBM)

The largest number of consecutively made beams.

Outside Dimension (OD)

The inclusive distance (measured in beams) from the first blocked beam to the last blocked beam.

Transitions (TRN)

The number of changes from blocked to clear status and from clear to blocked status. (If beams 6-34 are blocked, then there is a clear-to-blocked transition from beam 5 to bream 6, and a blocked-to-clear transition from beam 34 to beam 35.)

Transition mode can be used to count objects within the array.

Contiguous First Beam Blocked (CFBB)

The location of the first blocked beam in the largest group of adjacent blocked beams.

Contiguous Last Beam Blocked (CLBB)

The location of the last blocked beam in the largest group of adjacent blocked beams.

Carpet Nap and Carpet Edge

These measurement modes are used to measure the location of carpet backing and tuft, and are selectable only via the IO-

Link interface, and only when the Scan Type "Carpet Nap" is selected. The modes can be measured from either end of the sensor, but at least 10 beams (2") must be blocked from one edge.

2.11 Analog Output Configuration

Analog output configuration assigns analog outputs 1 and 2 to one of the measurement modes described in Measurement Mode Selection . When the selected measurement mode involves first or last beam blocked or made (unblocked), the assigned output will vary in proportion to the beam number identified during a scan. When the measurement mode involves total beams blocked or made, that assigned output will vary in proportion to the total beams counted during a scan.

Analog outputs may have Null and Span values set in the IO-Link interface, in addition to a filter setting (to smooth the output) and Zero

Value (to specify the output value when the measurement mode value is zero). Refer to Appendix: Analog Output 1 Configuration and

Analog Output 2 Configuration .

2.12 Discrete Output Configuration

Discrete Output 1; Receiver Interface

When the receiver interface is used for configuration, the measurement mode assigned to discrete output 1 is the same as that assigned to analog output 1.

Discrete Output 2; Receiver Interface

Discrete output 2 (only) has two options: alarm and complementary (measurement) operation.

Alarm

Output 2 energizes when the receiver detects a sensor error (such as a disconnected cable) or whenever the excess gain of one or more beams becomes marginal.

Complementary (Measurement)

Discrete output 2 operation is complementary to discrete output 1 (when output 1 is ON, output 2 is OFF, and vice versa).

Discrete Output 1 and 2 Configuration; IO-Link Interface

When the IO-Link interface is used for configuration, the discrete outputs have more options: either discrete output can be assigned to any of the measurement modes, high and low set points can be added, the outputs can be inverted, and hysteresis values can be set, as well as a scan number to smooth output performance. Discrete output 2 can be assigned to alarm mode via the IO-Link interface also. Refer to Appendix: Discrete Output 1 Configuration and Discrete Output 2 Configuration .

4 Installation and Alignment

4.1 Mounting the Emitter and Receiver

Compact EZ-ARRAY emitters and receivers are easy to handle during mounting. When mounted to the sensor end caps, the supplied mounting brackets allow ±30° rotation. An emitter may be separated from 400 mm to 4 m (16" to 13') from its receiver.

From a common point of reference, make measurements to locate the emitter and receiver in the same plane, with their midpoints and display ends directly opposite each other. (If sensors are mounted with their display ends at the top, see Receiver Gray Wire or refer to

HW Interface table in General Configuration for directions on inverting the 3-digit display.) Mount the brackets to the emitter and receiver housings using the supplied M6 bolts and Keps nuts, or user-supplied hardware; see Figure 4-1.

Center mounting brackets must be used with longer sensors, if they are subject to shock or vibration. In such situations, the sensors are designed to be mounted with up to 900 mm unsupported distance (between brackets). Sensors 1050 mm and longer are supplied with a center bracket to be used as needed with the standard end-cap brackets.

1. Attach the center bracket to the mounting surface when mounting the end-cap brackets.

2. Attach the clamp to both slots of the housing, using the included M5 screws and T-nuts.

3. After the sensor is mounted to the end-cap brackets, attach the clamp to the center bracket using the supplied M5 screw.

4.2 Mechanical Alignment

Mount the emitter and receiver in their brackets and position the windows of the two units directly facing each other. Measure from one or more reference planes (e.g., the building floor) to the same point(s) on the emitter and receiver to verify their mechanical alignment. Use a carpenter's level, a plumb bob, or the optional LAT-1-SS Laser Alignment Tool, or check the diagonal distances between the sensors, to achieve mechanical alignment.

When alignment is difficult, a LAT-1-SS tool is useful to assist or confirm alignment by providing a visible red dot along the sensor's optical axis (see Figure 4-2). Snap the

LAT-1 clip onto the sensor housing, turn on its laser emitter, and use a strip of retroreflective tape at the opposite sensor to see the dot.

Also check "by eye" for line-of-sight alignment. Make any necessary final mechanical adjustments, and hand-tighten the bracket hardware. See Optical Alignment and Alignment Blanking Button for further alignment information.

Figure 4-2.

Optical alignment using the LAT-1-SS

Figure 4-3. Sensor mounting, mechanical alignment

Verify that:

• The emitter and receiver are directly opposite each other, and nothing is interrupting the beams.

• The sensing area is the same distance from a common reference plane for each sensor.

• The emitter and receiver are in the same plane and are level/

plumb and square to each other (vertical, horizontal, or inclined at the same angle, and not tilted front-to-back or side-toside).

4.3 Hookups

Refer to Figures 4-4 and 4-5 for the appropriate hookup information.

Inputs

Receiver gray wire: The receiver has an input that can be used as a gate input or for remote teach. To initiate remote teach, alignment, and gating functions, tie the wire through a switch to sensor common. See Receiver Gray (Remote

Teach) Wire for more information.

Outputs

Refer to Figures 4-4 and 4-5 for standard hookup information and Specifications for further electrical requirements.

Analog white and yellow wires: The receiver has two analog outputs. Both outputs are voltage analog outputs. The white wire is referenced as analog output 1; the yellow wire is referenced as analog output 2. The voltage analog outputs will source current through an external load to sensor common.

Discrete Outputs: The receiver has two discrete outputs; the green wire is referenced as discrete output 1, and the red wire is referenced as discrete output 2.

Discrete output 1 is a push-pull output. Discrete output 2 is PNP, unless the polarity is altered via the communication interface. Refer to Specifications for further electrical requirements.

Sync (Pink) Wire

The emitter and receiver are electrically synchronized via the pink wire. The emitter and receiver pink wires must only be electrically connected together.

4.4 Optical Alignment

After the electrical connections are made, power up the emitter and receiver.

Verify that input power is present to both emitter and receiver; the emitter Status indicator and the receiver Status LED should be ON green. If the receiver

Status LED is on red (and a "c" appears on the 3-digit display), refer to Troubleshooting and Error Codes .

Optimize Alignment and Maximize Excess Gain

Verify that the emitter and receiver are pointed squarely at each other. A straightedge (e.g., a level) can help determine the direction the sensor is facing

(see Figure 4-7).

c)

Slightly loosen the sensor mounting screws and rotate one sensor to the left and right, noting the positions where the receiver Zone indicators turn from green to red; repeat with the other sensor. Center each sensor between the noted positions and tighten the end cap mounting screws, making sure to maintain the positioning. The sensor windows should directly face each other.

Once optimum optical alignment is verified, proceed to configuration, via the remote teach wire, the receiver interface, or the IO-Link interface ( Receiver Gray

Wire , Alignment Blanking Button , or refer to the Appendix: IO Link Alignment

Blanking Routine ) and complete the electronic alignment. This further alignment step adjusts the emitted light level of each beam for the application, to maximize sensing performance.

5 Receiver User Interface

The receiver user interface comprises the six-position DIP switch, two push buttons, 3-digit display, and other indicators present on the receiver (see Status Indicators for more complete status indicator information). The receiver interface enables configuration of standardized combinations of the EZ-ARRAY sensing options (output configuration, scanning methods and modes); for more advanced setup, refer to to IO-Link Interface .

5.1 Configuration DIP Switch

The DIP switch can be used to configure the sensor. Access the switch by removing the screw-on security plate and lifting the clear hinged access cover. The access cover may be removed entirely (pull straight out to remove, press back in to replace) for easier access during configuration.

Some of the switches are assigned their own functions, others work together in combination (see table). Switches S1 and S2 in combination select one of four scanning modes. Switches S3 and S4 in combination select one of four measurement mode pairs (one for each analog output). Switch S5 defines the analog slope setting for both analog outputs and S6 defines whether discrete output 2 is complementary to discrete 1, or functions as an alarm (when configuration is accomplished via DIP switch, discrete output 1 and analog output

1 follow the same measurement mode).

To open access cover, insert a small flat-blade screwdriver, press up, and pull.

5.1.1 Scanning Modes (S1 and S2)

Straight Scan (S1 ON, S2 ON)

Straight Scan is the most versatile scanning mode and can be used without the exceptions noted in the other scanning modes. Use this scanning mode when using the low-contrast sensitivity setting to measure semi-transparent materials.

Double-Edge Step 1 (S1 ON, S2 OFF)

Double-Edge Step 1 can be used when three or fewer opaque objects are presented to the light curtain at one time. The advantage of this mode is improved sensor edge resolution (2.5 mm). The minimum object detection size is 10 mm.

Double-Edge Step 4 (S1 OFF, S2 ON)

Double-Edge Step 4 can be used when three or fewer opaque objects are presented to the light curtain and the minimum size object to be detected is 30 mm. This scanning mode ignores objects smaller than 30 mm. Like Double-Edge Step 1, the sensor edge resolution is 2.5 mm. See Figure 2-8 for sensor scan times.

Single-Edge Scan (S1 OFF, S2 OFF)

Single-Edge Scan can be used when a single opaque object is presented to the light curtain at one time. The object must block the "bottom" channel (the channel closest to the receiver display). Like the double-edge scans, the sensor edge resolution is 2.5 mm. The minimum object detection size is 10 mm. See Figure 2-8 for sensor scan times. Because single-edge scan is capable only of measuring the height of an opaque object that blocks the bottom channel and all channels up to the height of the object, the pertinent measurement modes are LBB (last beam blocked) or TBB (total beams blocked). When single-edge scan is selected, the selected measurement mode will be applied to both analog outputs. Selection of OD/ID with single-edge scan will result in an error code.

5.1.2 Measurement Modes (S3 and S4)

The measurement modes, determined by switches S3 and S4 in combination, define what information is calculated by the sensor and sent via the analog outputs. See Measurement Mode Selection for measurement mode definitions. Discrete output 1 and analog output 1 will follow the same measurement mode. (If single-edge scan is selected, select measurement mode LBB or TBB.)

During normal operation, the 3-digit diagnostic display reads out the numerical value of the specified measuring mode for analog output

1.

5.1.3 Analog Slope (S5)

Switch S5 defines the analog output slope. As the measurement mode values increase, the analog output voltage can either increase

(positive slope, S5 ON) or decrease (negative slope, S5 OFF). Switch S5 applies the same slope to both analog outputs.

5.1.4 Complementary/Alarm (S6)

Switch S6 defines the operation of discrete output 2. When the receiver user interface is used, discrete output 1 is active when an object is detected by the sensor (normally open operation). In complementary mode (S6 ON), output 2 will always be in the opposite state of output 1. In alarm mode (S6 OFF), discrete output 2 will be active when the sensor detects a system fault. System faults include a failed emitter, mis-wiring of the emitter/receiver communication wire (the pink wire), and low excess gain (if the sensor is configured for highcontrast sensitivity).

28 wm - tel: 763-544-3164 Rev.B



5.2 Alignment/Blanking Button (Electronic Alignment)

The Alignment/Blanking push button is used both to maximize the alignment and to access the blanking feature. The electronic alignment routine adjusts the emitted light level to maximize sensor performance. Perform the procedure at installation and again when the emitter and/or receiver is moved. For IO-Link interface alignment instructions, see Alignment Blanking Routine .

Blanking is used to maintain sensing accuracy in applications where a fixed object (for instance a permanently mounted bracket) will block one or more beams. The sensor will ignore the blanked channels when calculating outputs from the selected measurement modes.

5.2.1 Electronic Alignment and Blanking - Receiver Interface

To initiate the electronic alignment procedure, use a small screwdriver to press the Alignment/Blanking button for two or more seconds.

The left-hand digit of the 3-digit display will read "A" (representing alignment); the right two digits will show the number of beams blocked.

The receiver is learning the clear condition. Rotate the sensors as required (but do not change the distance between them). When the receiver's 3-digit display shows 0 beams blocked, the sensors are adequately aligned.

Tighten the sensor mounts, then press the Alignment/Blanking button again for two seconds to exit alignment mode. If all sensor light channels are clear, the EZ-ARRAY stores each channel's signal strength in non-volatile memory and reads "- - -" on the 3-digit display.

Re-alignment is not required again, unless the emitter or receiver is moved.

If any beams are blocked by objects other than the sensing target to be measured during run mode, those beams can be blanked in alignment mode for more accurate measurement. The blocked beams must be either blanked or cleared during alignment mode for alignment to proceed (see below). While the "A" is visible on the receiver display, momentarily (about 0.5 seconds max.) press the Alignment/

Blanking button again. The "A" will change to "n" to indicate the sensor is ready to "learn" the blanking pattern; momentarily press the button again to exit the blanking routine. The sensor blanks the blocked beams and the display changes to "A."; the period following the lefthand digit signifies blanking is active. Press the Alignment/Blanking button for two seconds to exit alignment mode. The EZ-ARRAY stores each channel's signal strength in non-volatile memory and reads "-. - -" on the 3-digit display to denote blanking is in use.

5.2.2 Flashing "000" on the 3-Digit Display

When returning to run mode, the receiver determines whether any unblanked beam channels are obstructed. If any channels are obstructed, the new alignment settings are not saved; the receiver flashes zeroes on the display three times and sensing will continue, using the previously set alignment settings. If this occurs, either clear the blocked beams and repeat the alignment routine or repeat the alignment routine and blank the blocked beams.

5.3 Gain (Sensitivity Adjust) Button

To change the sensitivity (Gain setting), press and hold the button for two seconds. The left-hand digit of the 3-digit display will read "

L the right-hand digit will read "1" (high excess-gain) or "2" (low-contrast). The sensitivity level can then be toggled between the values 1

"; and 2. When the desired sensitivity level is displayed, hold the Gain push button for 2 seconds and the sensor will return to run mode.

5.4 Inverting the 3-Digit Display

For instances where the sensors must be mounted in an inverted position, the 3-digit display can be can be inverted for readability. See

Receiver Gray Wire . The 3-digit display can then be switched back to "normal" by repeating the procedure.

NOTE: The periods on the three seven-segment indicators do not move when the display is inverted.

5.5 Troubleshooting and Error Codes

If the receiver Status LED is red and the 3-digit display reads "c" followed by a number from 1 to 10, a corrective action is needed (see table below).

5.5.1 "Dirty" Channel Indicator

If the Status LED is red, but no "c" is visible on the 3-digit display (the scan measurement mode result is displayed), the sensor alignment is marginal. Clean the sensor windows and perform the alignment procedure as necessary.

For all corrective actions, first verify proper supply voltages and wiring connectivity. Disconnect and re-connect the sensor cable connectors to verify proper connector installation.

Remove and re-apply sensor supply voltage. If the error code 2 is removed, electrically re-align the sensor ( Alignment/Blanking Button ). If the error code persists, contact Banner for further problem-solving techniques.


1. Verify that emitter and receiver wiring is correct (see Figures 4-4 and 4-5).

2. Check the status of the emitter Status LED. Emitter LED OFF: Check the voltage across the emitter brown and blue wires. If the voltage across the emitter brown and blue wire is OK, then replace the emitter. Emitter Status LED

AO1 PEAK and AO2 PEAK Measurements

The AO1 PEAK and AO2 PEAK measurements store the minimum/maximum values of Analog Output 1 and Analog Output 2 respectively. When the EZ-ARRAY's Analog Outputs are configured to have Peak Detect = Enabled and Peak Detect Reset = External Communications, then reading these measurements will reset the Analog Output Peak Detect value. To enable this mode of operation, the Analog

Output's Configuration Flags must be configured as shown in Example 1 (see Table A-22).
