Features

Settings for up to 16 fiber/laser sensors can be changed at once by using an external signal.

The data bank setting for the digital fiber sensor FX-301B/G/H(P) and digital laser sensor LS-401(P) can be changed by using an external signal without operating the sensor. (loading / saving)

Suitable for a wide range of applications

Bank settings include response times, threshold values, output operation settings, timer settings, hysteresis, stability, digital display settings (incident light intensity / percentage / peak hold / bottom hold), digital display inversion and ECO mode. These can all be changed at once using external signals to correspond to a variety of different applications.

Applications

In production lines containing target objects that vary in color from lot to lot, the fiber, sensor's settings must be changed in accordance with the characteristics of the target objects (see illustration below). However, it can be very troublesome to change sensor settings for each different arrangement or type of work. Making these changes to settings takes time and requires extra care, in order to avoid possible malfunctions. The FX-CH series allows preset bank settings to be changed, all in a single step, by utilizing an external signal, without having to handle individual sensors.
