This is a short how to video that will cover the basics of the 4-state detection mode for the K30 Pro Optical Sensor from Banner Engineering.
The first step is to connect the K30 Pro Optical Sensor to a Windows PC using the Pro-Editor cable kit and by following the diagram in the Pro-Editor data sheet.
If you're having trouble connecting. Check out our troubleshooting guide on the Banner Pro Editor Software.
Plug the Pro-Editor cable into a USB port on your Windows PC and click 'Connect'.
Click 'Continue', and then select 'Detection'. Click on the Device Logic dropdown menu and select 'Four State Full Logic'.
The 4-state mode allows up to four animations based on the status of the output signal and an input signal.
The K30 Pro Optical has ten customizable animations with 14 color options.
To preview an animation, click the 'Start' button. The detection window can also be modified in the software.
You can set the output switchpoints via the Output Switchpoint Low and High menus.
When a target is detected between these two switchpoints, the K30 will send an output signal via the black wire or pin 4 on the five-pin models, and via the white wire or pin 1 on the 8-pin models.
To preview the sensor's measurement readings, click the 'Play' icon to enter live mode.
The Pro-Editor software will pull the sensor's measurements in real time, allowing you to determine the best switchpoints for your application.
To write the configuration to the device, click the 'Write' button.
That covers the basics of setting up the 4-state detection mode for the K30 Pro Optical Sensor.
