Taking
fi
ber sensors to the next level
Setup is made simple, using a dual digital display
The dual digital display allows users to check both the threshold
value and incident light intensity at the same time, allowing
for clear and intuitive control of the sensor’s functions. The
threshold value can be adjusted simply by pressing the
(UP)
key or the
(DOWN) key, so that the output operation can be
controlled with high precision, directly from the RUN mode.

Commercially-available connectors are used so that lead time and spare part numbers
can both be reduced
The connectors used are commercially-available connectors,
so that processing costs and lead time required for carrying
out processing after purchase of the sensors can be greatly
reduced. The same connection parts as the
DP-100
series
of digital pressure sensors and the
PM-64
series of micro
photoelectric sensors can be used.
Commercially-available press-fit connectors are used, so that the processing
costs for connection cables can be greatly reduced.

Saving-space with a width of 9 mm
0.354 in
The sensor is very slim, yet equipped with a dual digital
display. Both space saving and ease of use have been
achieved.
Equipped with a four-chemical emitting element
A stable amount of emitted light is ensured due to control
of the aging of the emitting element to the maximum limit.

A three level navigation structure provides easy access to the sensor’s functions, from
basic to advanced
Setting details are divided into three levels for simple operation, so that settings for normal operation are made in
“RUN mode”, basic settings are made in “SET mode”, and advanced functions are set in “PRO mode”. This makes
configuration much easier to understand and carry out.

Teaching using ON / OFF buttons [SET mode]
Simply press the ON button when an object is present
and OFF when it is not. There is no need to switch
settings or make judgments between Light-ON (
)
and Dark-ON (
).
Attenuation function [SET mode]
If the light receiving level becomes saturated when
sensing over short distances or when sensing
transparent objects or minute objects, the light emitting
amount can be reduced so that stable sensing can be
provided without needing to change the response time.
<Setting example>

Interference prevention function [SET mode]

Object present ON
Object absent OFF
Reflective type
The emission frequencies can be set separately for
each unit in order to avoid interference. The emitted light
fl
ashes while setting is in progress, so that you can see
at a glance which
fi
ber sensor is currently being set.
In addition, this interference prevention is not done by
using optical communication. This means that there is no
need to place the amplifiers close together like there was
before, and so the amplifiers can be set up apart from
each other.
* When the emission frequencies are changed, the response times will
also change.
Object present ON
Object absent OFF
Limit teaching function
This carries out teaching and sets threshold values only
when no object is present (when the incident light amount
is stable). This is useful when sensing objects if there
are other objects in the background and when sensing
minute objects. Teaching can also be carried out using
external input.

Threshold tracking function [PRO mode]
This function seeks changes

resulting from changes in

so that the incident light

automatically.

Alert function [PRO mode]
When the amount light received approaches the
threshold value, the display can be made to blink in
order to alert the operator.
Threshold value
Time
GETA function [PRO mode]
The display value for the incident light intensity can be offset
by the desired value (target value). The target value can be set
to between 0 and 2,000 (in increments of 100). For example, if
the incident light intensity is 1,500 and the target value is set to
2,000, then “2,000” will appear in the digital display.
Variations in the amount of light received
<When using at a shift amount of 20% and a threshold value of 1,000>
The amount of light received ranges from about 900 to 1,100
when the digital indicator flashes.
