U-GAGE™ T30 Series with Analog and Discrete Outputs

U-GAGE T30 Series Overview

The U-GAGE is an easy-to-use ultrasonic sensor, ideal for demanding environments. Simple push-button programming provides flexibility for a variety of applications. Excellent for measurement applications such as sensing of liquid levels in a tank or, for example, determining box heights for sorting purposes.

Each sensor includes both an analog and a discrete output, which may be programmed independently with different window limits or together with identical limits. Each output has the option of being set with a sensing distance set point centered within a 10-mm window.

U-GAGE T30 Series Programming

Window Limits

Window limits may be taught to the sensor in several ways. The following methods describe the programming procedures using the push buttons on the back of the sensor; remote programming (remote TEACH) procedures are described on page 4.

NOTE: When the sensor changes state between PROGRAM and RUN modes, all of the LED indicators turn OFF momentarily, before the appropriate LEDs come ON as described below. The sensing window limits expand temporarily to full scale (max range) during PROGRAM mode.

Teaching Limits for Either Analog or Discrete Output

1.Choose the output for the first set of window limits (analog or discrete) and push and hold the corresponding button until the green Power LED goes OFF and the appropriate yellow Output LED turns ON (solid). This indicates the sensor is waiting for the first limit.

2.Position the target for the first limit and briefly “click” the same button. This will teach the sensor the first limit. The yellow Output LED will flash to acknowledge receiving the first window limit; it is now waiting for the second limit.

3.Position the target for the second limit and “click” the button again. This will teach the sensor the second limit. The yellow Output LED turns OFF and the green Power LED comes ON; the sensor is now in normal RUN mode.

4.Repeat for the other output (analog or discrete) if a second output is desired.

NOTE: Press and hold the same button > 2 seconds (before teaching the second limit) to exit PROGRAM mode without saving any changes. The sensor will revert to the last saved program.

Teaching Analog or Discrete Limits Using the Auto-Zero Feature

For some applications, a sensing distance set point centered within a minimum sensing window may be required. The TEACH procedure for this application is simple: teaching the same limit twice causes the sensor to program a 10-mm window centered on the position taught (position ±5 mm).

NOTE: The sensor allows for some forgiveness in this procedure. If the two limits are not exactly the same (but closer than the minimum 10-mm window required), the sensor will put the set point at the “average” of the two limits.

U-GAGE™ T30 Series with Analog and Discrete Outputs

Teaching Identical Limits for Both Analog and Discrete Outputs Simultaneously

To set both the analog and the discrete outputs at exactly the same limits, both may be set simultaneously.

1.Push and hold either the Analog or the Discrete programming push button until the yellow Output LED turns ON. Push and hold the other push button until its yellow Output LED turns ON. The sensor is waiting for the first limit.

2.Position the target for the first limit and “click” either programming push button. Both yellow LEDs will flash to acknowledge receiving the first window limit; the sensor is now waiting for the second limit.

3.Position the target for the second limit and “click” either button again to teach the sensor the second limit.

4.The green Power LED will come ON to indicate that the sensor will now function in normal RUN mode; both yellow Output LEDs will remain ON if the outputs are conducting within the window limits.

General Notes on Programming:

1.The sensor will return to RUN mode if the first TEACH condition is not registered within 120 seconds.

2.After the first limit is taught, the sensor will remain in PROGRAM mode until the TEACH sequence is finished.

3.Press and hold the programming push button > 2 seconds (before teaching the second limit) to exit PROGRAM mode without saving any changes. The sensor will revert to the last saved program.

U-GAGE™ T30 Series with Analog and Discrete Outputs

Remote Programming

To program the sensor remotely or to disable the keypad, the Remote Programming function may be used. Disabling the keypad prevents anyone on the production floor from adjusting any of the programming settings. Connect the gray wire of the sensor to +12 to 24V dc, with a remote programming switch connected between them. NOTE: The impedance of the remote teach input is 55 kΩ.

Programming is accomplished by following the sequence of input pulses. The duration of each pulse (corresponding to a push button “click”), and the period between multiple pulses, are defined as: 0.04 seconds < T < 0.8 seconds.

•	1 pulse:	Programs first discrete limit. Wait > 0.8 sec. Next pulse programs
		second discrete limit.
•	2 pulses:	Programs first analog limit. Wait > 0.8 sec. Next pulse programs
		second analog limit.
•	3 pulses:	Programs first analog and discrete limit. Wait > 0.8 sec. Next pulse
		programs second analog and discrete limit.
•	4 pulses:	Disables (locks out) or enables the keypad for security.
