Overview and Specifications

1-2-1. Optical synchronization

Synchronization is required between an emitter and a receiver for normal operation of F3W-MA. F3WMA uses a specific beam for Synchronization. The beam is hereinafter called synchronization beam. Depending on sensor configuration, the synchronization beam is either of the followings.

Configuration Synchronization Beam

T-Shaped configuration with COM lines T-Shaped configuration with 4-Joint Connector

Other configurations End beams (Top or Bottom beam)

*1. In the T-shaped Configuration with COM lines, the primary and secondary sensors are determined based on the wiring.

Refer to 4-2. Wiring Examples for more information.

*2. In the T-shaped Configuration with 4-Joint Connector, the primary and secondary sensors are determined based on the

wiring. Refer to 3-4-2-4. Reduced Wiring Connector System and 4-2. Wiring Examples for more information.

For an emitter and a receiver to synchronize, at least one synchronization beam must be unblocked. The synchronization process is performed when:

(1) The power is turned on for an emitter and a receiver

(2) All beams of the primary sensor are blocked and then unblocked

(3) Synchronization is lost due to an error such as noise and ambient light

The sensor can maintain the synchronization in other cases than those described above and it is not necessary to keep

the synchronization beam unblocked all the time.

Overview and Specifications

1-2-2. Basic operation

The F3W-MA performs the Self-Test when the power is turned ON (within 2 seconds) to check for

errors. When no errors are detected during the Self Test, the F3W-MA starts normal operation.

The basic operation of the beam-aligned F3W-MA is that when a Muting Trigger Beam (Mute A/B

Trigger Beam) is blocked, the F3W-MA sends a corresponding muting signal.

The positions of the Muting Trigger Beams can be switched by the DIP Switch.

Refer to Chapter 2 Setting with DIP Switchfor more information on DIP Switch.

The positions of the Muting Trigger Beams can be identified by the symbols "▼" printed on the indicator label of the

F3W-MA. The above example shows the F3W-MA0100P. For the F3W-MA0300P, the Muting Trigger Beams are the third

beams from both ends of the sensor.

MUTE A and MUTE B indicators are illuminated when the F3W-MA sends a Muting signal.

Also, the F3W-MA regularly performs the Self-Test while operating. This function cannot be cancelled.

If an error is found in the Self-Test, the F3W-MA enters the Error state, keeps the muting output in the

OFF state, and indicates the error at the same time.

The Self-Test detects such errors as described below.

2-1. DIP Switch

F3W-MA series has DIP Switches to configure functions. Configure functions with the DIP Switches before

installing F3W-MA in your site. To set DIP Switches, turn the power of the F3W-MA off and open the cover as

shown below. When the setting the DIP Switch is complete, close the cover and turn the power of the F3W-

MA on.

F3W-MA in T-Shaped configuration with COM lines or 4-Joint Connector is operated based on the DIP

Switches setting of the primary sensor. The DIP Switch setting of a secondary sensor does not affect the

operation.

Chapter2 DIP Switch

When attaching the cover, tightly fasten the screws (M2.5, recommended torque: 0.35N.m). Failure to do so may cause the cover

to come loose, leading to deterioration of the functionality.

Operate the DIP Switch before turning the power of the F3W-MA on.

If the DIP Switch is operated during operation of the F3W-MA, the F3W-MA transitions to the Error state.

A change of the DIP Switch setting is activated upon power-on.

Note that do not use any tool which may damage F3W-MA's body when operating the DIP Switch.

2-2. Scan Code Selection

The F3W-MA has two scan codes (Code A and Code B). These scan codes have different internal processing

time. The use of different scan codes allows for placement of systems in close proximity and in line with each

other and minimize mutual interference.

The following settings are available for the Scan Code Selection.

• Scan Code A

• Scan Code B (Factory Default Setting)

Both the emitter and receiver units must be set to the same code.

You can minimize the impact of light interference by configuring the Scan Code settings for F3W-MA and F3SG-R when they are

in proximity to each other.

Refer to 3-1-1. Mutual Interference Prevention for more information on setting the scan code and mounting condition.

2-3. Operation Mode Selection

For F3W-MA, one of the three operation modes below can be selected according to the installation

environment and the shape of the work piece.

2-3-1. Point-To-Point Detection

The point-to-point detection mode detects a workpiece in a spot as with traditional single-beam

sensors. It can be used for workpieces with a constant shape, such as one without any hole.

Chapter2 Operation Mode Selection

2-3-2. Chattering and Void Space Prevention

The chattering/void space prevention mode uses the beams adjacent to the muting trigger beam(s) as

extended muting trigger beams for stable detection. After the extension, a workpiece is detected by

multiple beams, preventing impact of small holes (void spaces) regardless of a workpiece speed and

sensor chattering due to oscillation of the sensor.

When all of the beams extended as the trigger beams by this function receive light, the original status is recovered.

3-4-3. Functional Earth Connection

The F3W-MA operates properly without functional earth connection in a general industrial

environment. If the F3W-MA fails due to electrical noise, connecting the F3W-MA to the functional

earth may work to prevent the noise. It is recommended the functional earth terminal of the F3W-MA

be connected to functional earth cables. Connection with protective earth cables may cause the F3W-

MA to fail due to a noise level of the environment.

When you connect the F3W-MA with the functional earth, connect the earth cables to the functional

earth terminal, as shown below.

The size of the screws of the terminals is M3. Make sure to use crimp terminals that fits the size.

The earth cable must have a cross section of 1 mm2 or more with conductor resistance of 0.058 ohms/m

or less and a length of 20 m or less.
