A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY Series Controller—Sixteen Discrete Outputs

Product image

Overview

  • Offers 16 to 30V dc supply voltage with either 16 NPN or 16 PNP outputs, depending on model
  • Determines target object location, overall size, total height or width, using up to two of ten programmable measurement modes
  • Counts the number of clear-to-blocked and blocked-to-clear transitions and then partitions the array into a maximum of 16 regions with two additional measurement modes
  • Provides four configurable scanning methods
  • Includes continuous or gated scanning
  • Allows control of scan initiation with separate gate input
  • Ignores activity in unlimited fields along the length of the array with programmable blanking
  • Supports serial communication (ASCII or binary) with a host computer or PLC using RS-232 or RS-485 interface
  • Includes advanced configuration software

Product Specifications

Power Requirements16 to 30V dc @ 1.25 A; controller alone (without emitter/receiver) requires 1 A
InputsSensor input (5 connections):Emitter and receiver wire in parallel to five terminals
Trigger (Gate) input:Optically isolated, requires 10 to 30V dc (7.5 K input impedance) for gate signal
Output ConfigurationMAC16N-1:Sixteen NPN (current sinking) outputs
MAC16P-1:Sixteen PNP (current sourcing) outputs
Output Rating150 mA max. @ 30V dc max.
OFF-state leakage current:less than 10 µA
ON-state saturation voltage:less than 1V @ 10 mA; less than 1.9V @ 150 mA
Output Protection CircuitryProtected against short circuit of outputs
Serial Data OutputsRS-232, ASCII or binary data format
Baud rate:9600, 19.2K or 38.4K, 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, even parity. Clear data may be suppressed; Header string may be suppressed in binary format; Data can be suppressed.
ProgrammingUse RS-232 PC-compatible computer running Window 95, 98, NT, ME, XP or 2000 operating system and Banner supplied software
Sensor Scan Time55 microseconds per beam plus processing time. The processing time is dependent on the scan analysis and the number of active outputs. This timing assumes a straight scan, continuous and TBB mode. Processing time:2.3 to 7 milliseconds
System Response TimeOutputs are not active for 5 seconds after system power up. Maximum response time for the sytem is two sensor scan cycles.



A scan cycle includes a sensor scan plus any serial data transmission. Serial transmission (if activated) follows every sensor scan.
IndicatorsOUTPUT 1 (OUT):
Red ON steady:indicates at least one output is active
ALARM:
Red ON steady:indicates output sixteen is active
GATE:
Red ON steady:indicates voltage is applied to Trigger (GATE) input
ALIGN:
Green ON steady:indicates sensor is aligned (excess gain less than 1x)
DIAG1, 2, 3:used in combination to indicate system status (see data sheet)
Construction Polycarbonate
Environmental RatingIP20; NEMA 1
Operating ConditionsTemperature:-20° to +70° C
Relative humidity:95% (non-condensing)
