Conguring the Discrete Outputs (MAC16P-1, MAC16N-1)
Congure the 16 discrete outputs using the Outputs buon on the Mulple Output MINI-ARRAY PSF Conguraon screen.
The Outputs buon launches the Edit Discrete Outputs screen, which allows the Set Points and Hysteresis levels to be dened for each
output. Set Point and Hysteresis values may be congured individually for each output and assigned to either Meas1 or Meas2.
Set Point level denes the condion where the output is in the “true condion”. For a typical applicaon, the output will be acve when
the Measurement mode result is between the set point limits. If the inverted opon is specied, the output will be inacve when the
Measurement mode result is between the set point limits (i.e., the true condion).
The Hysteresis Low and High levels determine when the output changes back to the false condion.
The SEG measurement mode uses the Set Point Low and High levels to dene segmentaon of the light screen. As an example, Output 1
Set Point Low is 5 and the Set Point High is 20. These two values dene beams 5 through 20 as a segment. When any of these beams are
blocked, this segment of the light screen is considered blocked, and Output 1 is acve (or inacve, if “Inverted” is selected). For the SEG
measurement mode, the Hysteresis specicaon is inacve.
The Scan Number may be used to change the number of consecuve scans necessary to change the output. When the Scan Number is
set to one, the output changes aer only one scan. If the Scan Number is set to ve, the outputs do not change unless the condion is
true for ve consecuve scans.
Conguring the Analog Outputs (MACV-1 and MACI-1)
The MACV-1 and MACI-1 Controllers oer two independent analog outputs.
For Analog Output 1 and Analog Output 2, each output is assigned to one of six analysis modes, which are selected using the Edit PSF
screen.
1. Specify the Analysis Mode Selecon for Meas1 and Meas2
2. Specify the Analog Output using the Analog Output choices. The analysis mode is selected as Meas1, Meas2, or Disabled.
• Disabled: Output is not used
• Meas1 and Meas2:
Reect the choices provided with the Analysis Mode Selecon
3. Dene the number of scans (Scan #) to average before the analog output updates. Accepted values are 1 through 9.
4. If desired, select the Invert
opon to change the output from a rising signal to a falling signal.
Null/Span Adjustment—The user can adjust both the zero and full-scale reading for both analog outputs of MACV-1 and MACI-1
Controllers. This adjustment is implemented via the Edit PSF screen Null/Span buon, which acvates the Null/Span menu. The Null/
Span menu causes the controller to temporarily respond to scaling adjustments. The Null and Span ranges can be adjusted as follows:
