A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY Series Controllers—Discrete/Analog Outputs
Overview
- Offers 16 to 30V dc supply voltage with one NPN or one PNP output, and either two 0-10V dc or two 4-20 mA analog outputs, depending on model
- Determines target object location, overall size, total height or width, using up to two of nine programmable measurement modes
- Provides four configurable scanning methods
- Includes continuous or gated scanning
- Allows control of scan initiation with separate gate input
- Ignores activity in one or two 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 Requirements | 16 to 30V dc @ 1.25 A; controller alone (without emitter/receiver) requires 1 A |
|---|---|
| Inputs | Sensor 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 |
| Discrete Output | 150 mA max. @ 30V dc
Discrete output (ALARM):One NPN (current sinking) output OFF-state leakage current:less than 10 µA @ 30V dc
ON-state saturation voltage:less than 1V @ 10 mA; less than 1.5V @ 150 mA
|
| Analog Outputs | MACV-1:0-10V sourcing adjustable Null and Span (20 mA current limit) MACI-1:4-20 mA current sinking adjustable Null and Span (16 to 30V dc) |
| Output Protection Circuitry | Protected against short circuit of outputs |
| Sensing Performance | Analog resolution:Span/(Number of Channels) Analog temperature variation:0.01% of full scale/° C Analog linearity:0.1% of full scale |
| Serial Data Outputs | RS-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
|
| Programming | Use RS-232 PC-compatible computer running Window 95, 98, NT, ME, XP or 2000 operating system and Banner supplied software |
| Sensor Scan Time | 55 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:1.5 milliseconds |
| System Response Time | Outputs 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. |
| Indicators | Output 1 (V OUT or I OUT): Red ON steady:indicates Output #1 is active
ALARM:Red ON steady:indicates Output #2 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 Rating | IP20; NEMA 1 |
| Operating Conditions | Temperature:-20° to +70° C Relative humidity:95% (non-condensing) |
