you insert the bers into the amplier. For details, refer to the

56789

instruction manual enclosed with the bers.

1. Snap the ber lock lever 1 down as
far as it will go.

* Cascading is not available for FX-505□-C2.

● You can only cascade ampliers of the series connection type, i.e.
FX‑501□ and FX‑502□.

● Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing

ampliers of the series connection type.

● If you cascade 2 or more ampliers, make sure to mount them on a
DIN rail. Refer to “3 Mounting” for details.

● For each amplier using a main connection cable you can install a

maximum of 11 additional ampliers using sub cables.

● If you connect 2 or more ampliers of the series connection type in
cascade, use the sub cable (optional) for the second series‑connec‑

tion-type amplier and all after.

Cascading ampliers

1. Mount the ampliers one by one on the
DIN rail.

2. Slide the ampliers next to each other
and connect the quick‑connection cables

(main cable for the rst amplier, sub
cables for all ampliers after the rst).

When the sensing object is small or there are objects in the background,

use this teaching method. Both the thru-beam type and the reective type

can be used. The procedure only shows the thru‑beam type.

Sensing object is present Sensing object is not present

● Please note that if the threshold values are very close to each other,
objects may not be detected reliably.

● For teaching in Window Comparator mode or Hysteresis mode,

you need to set the shift amount in PRO mode rst. For the setting

procedure, refer to the “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL” (only
available in English).

● If you use 1‑point teaching, set the shift amount (the initial value is
10% or 100) in PRO mode.

Teaching is performed in RUN mode. There are different teaching methods
available. Which teaching method is recommended depends on the sensor
type and whether the sensing object is present or not present or moving.

1-point teaching in window comparator and hysteresis mode

With this method, you set the threshold range by setting the shift amount
to the desired value and measuring the incident light intensity once. The
shift amount will be added to the incident light intensity to provide the upper
threshold respectively subtracted from the incident light intensity to provide
the lower threshold.

3-point teaching in window comparator and hysteresis mode

With this method, you set the threshold range by performing teaching with
three sensing objects with different incident light intensities (P‑1, P‑2, and
P‑3). After you have performed teaching, the three points P‑1, P‑2, and P‑3
will be sorted in ascending order into the values A, B, and C. The threshold
range will be calculated from A, B, and C as follows: The lower threshold
value 1_SL is the midpoint between A and B and the upper threshold value
2_SL is the midpoint between B and C.

amplier)

● Copy settings

notes on mounting

Communication
is performed via
the communica‑
tion window of the

amplier (marked

with an arrow).

Communication direction

For optical com‑
munication to
work, you need to
cascade the sub
ampliers (2) to
the right of the

main amplier

(1).

● Make sure to mount the ampliers closely when the interference pre‑
vention function is controlled by optical communication. For the setting
procedure, refer to the “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL” (only
available in English).

● When you cascade this product together with other products (e.g. ber
sensor ampliers, pressure sensor controllers, etc.), install the prod‑
ucts so that they are in order of group A, B, D and C as shown in the

gure below. This product is included in group D. Within each group,

identical models should be mounted next to each other.

● If products are mounted between different groups, cover the com‑

munication window of each product with the amplier protection seal

FX-MB1 (optional).

● If you use copy setting for a cascade of different products from the FX‑
500 series, each product will only accept the settings that it supports
and ignore settings for unsupported functions.

notes on optical communication

● Optical communication is not possible if an amplier is in one of the
following states:

‑ The copy lock has been activated (setting

).
‑ The digital display is blinking.
‑ The external input setting of the main amplier is set to

(only for databank loading / saving).

● When the communication protocol of a sub amplier is set to halt com‑
munication (setting

), it is not possible to communicate with

any of the sub ampliers mounted to the right of said sub amplier.

Interference prevention function

14

There are 2 options available for interference prevention:

● Interference prevention by optical communication (

, default).

● Interference prevention by different emitting frequency.

For the setting procedure, refer to the “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL”
(only available in English).

Interference can be prevented only for a limited number of ampliers when

you have selected the default setting

(optical communication). The

number of ampliers depends on the response time you have selected, see

table below.

≤250μs

LONG

U-LG

HYPr

≤24ms

If you have mounted more ampliers than the interference prevention func‑

6

tion can cover, you need to prevent interference manually with one of the
two following methods:

● Attach the amplier protection seal FX-MB1 to the communication win‑

dow between the last amplier in the valid range and the rst amplier

of the next range (see example below).

● Turn the communication function OFF (

) for the amplier

after the valid range (see example below). For the setting procedure,
refer to the “PRO MODE OPERATION MANUAL” (only available in
English).

● If you have mounted more than the valid range of ampliers and the

ampliers use different response times, cover the communication
window between two ampliers with different response times with a

protection seal or turn the communication function OFF for the ampli‑

er in the master position.

Example

Communication direction

You have mounted 12 ampliers

and the response time is STD. This
means, the valid range for the inter‑
ference prevention function is 4 ampli‑

ers (1). The last amplier in the

33

2

2

valid range is highlighted in gray.
To make sure that there is no interfer‑

ence between the 12 ampliers, use

one of the two following methods:

111

● Cover the communication window between the 4th and the 5th ampli‑
er (2) with the protection seal.

● Turn the communication function OFF (

) for the amplier

marked with 3.

cautions

16

● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.

● This product is suitable for indoor use only.

● Make sure to add or remove ampliers with the power OFF.

● If you apply a voltage exceeding the rated range or if an AC power
supply is connected directly, the product may get burnt or damaged.

● Shortcircuiting the load or wrong wiring may burn or damage the
product.

● Do not run the wires together with high‑voltage lines or power lines
or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to
induction.

● Avoid using the product where there are strong magnetic elds as they

may prevent the product from working according to the specication.

● Verify that the supply voltage including the ripple is within the rating.

● If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that
the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to
an actual ground.

● In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter
motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame
ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.

● Do not apply stress directly to the sensor cable joint or the ber cable
by forcibly bending or pulling.

● The ultra long response time settings U‑LG and HYPR are more likely
to be affected by extraneous noise since the sensitivity is higher than
with other response times. Test the behavior of the product before use.

● Do not use during the initial transient time (H‑SP, FAST, STD: 0.5
seconds, LONG, U‑LG, HYPR: 1 second) after the power supply is
switched ON.

● Use the quick-connection cable (see Specications on page 8).
You can extend the cable up to 100m max. with 0.3mm

2

or more
cable. However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as
possible.

● Do not use the product in dusty or dirty places or in places that are
exposed to steam.

● Protect the sensor from water, oil, grease, organic solvents such as
thinner, etc., strong acid, and alkaline.

● This product cannot be used in an environment containing inam‑
mable or explosive gasses.

● Never disassemble or modify the product.

● This product uses an EEPROM. Due to the EEPROM’s lifetime, do not
expect to make settings more than 100 thousand times.
