Features
Reduction of the data analysis burdenone small step towards IoT.
IO-Link compatible Collecting sensor level data
Field data collected and accumulated for “preventive maintenance” and “operation monitoring”.
An analysis of such field data requires high-level know-how and time, causing a burden to people responsible for the production site management.
The Self-Monitoring Sensor manufactured by Panasonic is capable of reporting sensor data and its own state to the host device through the I/O Link master.
With the Self-Monitoring Sensor, you can immediately judge the state of the sensor and easily identify the cause of failure. Thus, this sensor contributes to the reduction of the burden experienced by the client in collecting and analyzing data.
Incorporated self-monitoring function
With the Panasonic's Self-Monitoring Sensor,you can get high-level solutions!
Problems are solved by the Self-monitoring function.
| Status | Judgement of the state | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | Operation is normal. | ||
| Notification | Check the settings. Detected state is faulty. | * Recover to the normal state through checking installation and settings. Reduction in the incident light intensity | |
| Caution | Getting close to the end of service life. Reached the state where the device should be replaced. | * Limitation in the writing frequency into the memory or in the operation hours, etc. | |
| Fault | Short-circuited or broken. Reached the state where it is impossible to control as a device. | * Short-circuited output, damaged EEPROM, etc. | |
*
By creating a program with a PLC, etc., the "State" of the self-monitoring sensor can be grasped.

<Compact>
The smallest CMOS laser sensor in the industry*
*Based on research conducted by our company as of July 2022
A new optical system with a built-in mirror
In general, more accurate and stable measurements can be obtained by increasing the optical path length between the light-receiving part and the light receiving element (CMOS), but this also increases the sensor depth and the sensor body gets bigger. The HG-C series sensors incorporating a new optical system with a built-in mirror provides smaller sensor depth as well as higher measurement accuracy equivalent to displacement sensors.
An aluminum die-cast casing protects from strain and heat
A light-weight but strong die-cast aluminum casing has been adopted. A compact, solid body casing reduces the impact of strain and heat on the measurement accuracy.
<Overwhelmingly stable>
Precise measurements on the order of 1/100 mm 0.0003 inch*
* HG-C1030□
Fitted with a precise CMOS image sensor and an original algorithm
Thanks to a precise CMOS image sensor, it is now possible to perform highly precise measurements in the order of 1/100 mm 0.0003 in. The existing adjustable range reflective sensors cannot achieve such accuracy.
Useful functions
Teaching & window comparator mode
Normal sensing mode
[2-Point teaching]
Basic teaching method
The threshold value is set automatically at the midpoint between the two points specified by teaching.
[Limit teaching]
Useful teaching method for when there is a very small object or background object.
<When using background object as reference>
When the sensing object is located closer to the sensor than the background object, the threshold value for detection is set. This function is useful when there is a change in the size of sensing object.
<When using sensing object as reference>
The threshold value is set on the background object side with reference to the sensing object. Use this method when there is a long distance to the background object.
Window comparator mode
With an object below the sensor, press the TEACH key to set the valid range for distances via threshold values. There are 3 methods for setting the valid range: 1-point, 2-point, and 3-point teaching.
Perform 1-point teaching and the threshold range is set for the distance from the reference surface of the sensing object.
This is used for sensing within the threshold range.
Press TEACH once for the lower (first point) and once for the upper limit (second point).
This is the method to set the threshold range by conducting the teaching at 3 points (sensing object A, B and C). After teaching, the reference points are automatically sorted in ascending order (reference point 1, 2 and 3). The thresholds are set at the midpoints between reference point 1 and 2, and 2 and 3, respectively.
Rising differential mode / Trailing differential mode
Use this mode to cancel gradual changes in the measured value and to detect only sudden changes. For the setting of threshold value, use the threshold value fine adjustment function.
Timer setting function
The time mode options are “off-delay timer,” “on-delay timer,” “one-shot timer” and “no timer.” The counting time is fixed to 5 ms.
Off-delay timer
Function : Extends output signals by 5 ms.
Usage : Appropriate in case a connected device is slow to respond and ON time is required to extend.
On-delay timer
Function: Overrides output signals for 5 ms after detection.
Usage: Convenient way to override temporary signals and control with a time lag.
One-shot timer
Function: Sends output signals for only 5 ms after detection.
Usage: Useful when the signal duration needs to be constant to meet inputs from a connected device.
This mode is also used to extend temporary signals by a desired length of time.
Zero set function
This function compulsorily sets the measured value to “zero.”
The zero point can be set at a desired value. It is useful when measuring steps or tolerance with reference to the height of a sensing object.
Display setting function
How to indicate measured values of the moving sensed object can be chosen from three options, “Normal,” “Invert” and “Offset.”
Example：HG-C1050(-P)
Peak and bottom hold functions
The peak hold function holds the maximum measured value which is output and displayed.
The bottom hold function holds the minimum measured value which is output and displayed.
* The peak hold function and the bottom hold function cannot be set at the same time.
* When the zero set function is executed while the peak hold function or the bottom hold function is valid, the held measurement value is reset.
Threshold value fine adjustment function
Fine adjustment of threshold values can be performed while measurement is proceeding on the display, and even after teaching.
Key lock function
This function protects setting conditions from unintentional changes.
* For other functions and procedures for setting the functions, see“PRO Mode Setting”.

Notes:
1)This is the size in the measurement center distance. These values were defined by using 1/e2 (13.5% approx.) of the center light intensity.
Due to leak light outside the specified area, the reflectance around the detecting point may be higher than at the point and this may affect the measurement value.
