3-1. Precautions When Selecting Settings

If (MODE key) is pressed for 2 sec. while setting is in progress in a mode other than RUN mode, the mode will switch to RUN mode. When this occurs, the settings which had been changed before (MODE key) was pressed for 2 sec. will be confirmed.

Setting protection

You can use the ‘key lock function’ to protect settings. (Refer to p.4) Key lock function can be used to prevent the operator from accidentally changing the sensor settings.

SET Mode

5-1. SET Mode Functions and Settings

SET mode is the mode used for making basic settings. Settings for five functions can be configured.

: Teaching

Refer to p.7l for setting procedure

The ‘threshold value’ can be set by utilizing three kinds of teaching, whichever ‘2-level teaching’, ‘limit teaching [

, ]’ or ‘full-auto teaching’.

Make sure that detection may become unstable if less margin is applied in the use environment when teaching.

2-level Teaching

2-level teaching is a method of setting the threshold value by teaching the amplifier unit two different status conditions - sensing object present and sensing object absent. The ‘threshold value’ is normally set using this method.

Thru-beam type Reflective type Retroreflective type

Sensing object present

Sensing object absent

Limit Teaching [ , ]

Teaches only the status condition in which no sensing object is within sensing range (status in which incident light intensity is stable). This method is used to set a ‘threshold value’ for conducting sensing in the presence of a background, or when extremely small objects are to be detected.

Full-auto Teaching

This method is used to set the threshold value while the sensing objects are still moving on the production line, without stopping the production line.

Background

Minute object

This mode allows the selection of output operation from either L-ON (Light-ON), or D-ON (Dark-ON). When set to ‘L-ON’, the output will be ON if the incident light intensity becomes greater than the ‘threshold value’. When set to ‘D-ON’, the output will be ON if the incident light intensity becomes less than the ‘threshold value’.

: Timer Operation Setting

Refer to p.10 for setting procedure

This sets timer operation and timer period. Without timer, ON-delay timer, or OFF-delay timer can be set. In case of setting ON-delay timer or OFF-delay timer in the timer operation setting mode, timer period can be set. Select timer period from 1 ms, 5 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms, 40 ms, 50 ms, 100 ms, 500 ms, and 1,000 ms. * The factory setting is ‘Without timer’.

: Light-emitting Amount Selection Setting

Refer to p.11 for setting procedure

: Emission Frequency Setting

Refer to p.12 for setting procedure

Allows light reduction to be set for the light-emitting amount. When the setting is ON, the light-emitting amount is reduced. Use this setting if sensing is difficult because the incident light intensity is saturated (4,000 or higher). * The factory setting is ‘OFF’.

If the incident light intensity is still saturated (4,000 or higher) even when the light reduction setting is used, make the distance between the sensing objects and the fiber head longer.

When fiber heads are used side-by-side, the emission frequencies for each amplifier can be set to different frequencies in order to prevent interference. For the FX-101:, this function is activated by setting the emission frequency to 1, 2 or 3. For the FX-102:, this function is activated by setting the emission frequency to 1, 2, 3 or 4. <Number of units for interference prevention>

• Combination of FX-101: only: Maximum 3 units

• Combination of FX-102: only: Maximum 4 units

• Combination of FX-101: and FX-102:: Maximum 4 units

• For the FX-101:, the interference prevention function will not operate for

emission frequency 0 (factory setting).

• The response time will change when the emission frequency is changed.

The beam-emitting part and the operation indicator (orange) will blink while the emission frequency is being set. (They light up steadily when emission frequency 0 is set.) The blinking cycle will change depending on the emission frequency which is selected. (Refer to the table below.)

Make sure that detection may become unstable if less margin is applied in the use environment when teaching.

2-level Teaching
