PSF Conguraon Screen for Models MAC-1, MACP-1, MACN-1,
MACV-1, and MACI-1
PSF Conguraon Screen for Models MAC16N-1 and MAC16P-1
The soware included with the controller makes it easy to congure the MINI-ARRAY using your PC-compable computer. Simply install
the soware, launch the program, and access the Edit PSF Conguraon screen. Each opon is selectable using your mouse and the
pop-up menu-style selecons.
Alarm/Trigger—Output 2 may instead be programmed to serve as a trigger input for another MINI-ARRAY or ALARM for the self-
diagnosc circuitry.
Analog and Discrete Output Assignment—Assigns an analysis (measurement) mode to each output.
Analysis (Measurement) Mode Selecon—Choose the measurement opon that best tells you the size and/or posion of objects as
they relate to the array.
Blanking—Allows either 1 or 2 areas of the array to be blind to the
acvity of the areas specied.
Control Mode Selecon—There are three modes to choose from:
• Connuous Mode: The controller constantly polls the array for status.
• Gate Mode: The controller polls the array for status when prompted by an input from a Gate sensor.
• Host Mode: The controller polls the array for status when prompted by a host controller.
Invert—Allows output to be normally open (No) or normally closed (Yes).
Scan #—Analog outputs are updated with an average value of the data received during the selected number of scans. Discrete outputs
respond only if the received data is idencal for all the selected number of consecuve scans. Values: 1 through 9.
Scanning Method—There are four scanning methods:
• Straight scan polls each beam sequenally to determine the target object's overall size. This is the most accurate and precise
measurement, but also the most me-consuming.
• Interlaced scan alternates a straight scan with a slanted beam scan to improve opcal resoluon in the center one third of the
sensing range.
• Edge scan acvates only the beams located near the top edge of the object in the light screen to reduce the sensing response
me.
• Skip scan skips one to seven beams to reduce the response me. Minimum object detecon size increases proporonally to the
number of beams skipped.
Serial Communicaon—Changes the idencaon and baud rate of the controller being congured.
Serial Transmission—Choose ASCII, binary, or no serial communicaon.
Set Point and Hysteresis Selecon—Assigns the set point to determine where within the array the output(s) will respond and the
hysteresis values to smooth the output response.
