System Description 1.2 System Features Built-in features simplify the operation of the A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY System. Emitters and receivers, available in a choice of two resolutions and 10 lengths, provide the right size and precision needed for many applications. Programmable beam blanking accommodates machine components or other fixtures that must remain in or move through the light screen. Blanking is set using the included EDS file and the user’s DeviceNet configuration tool.

System Description 1.3 DeviceNet Features The A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY System connects to the DeviceNet Bus network using simple junction boxes or “T” connectors. An Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) is supplied with each controller to assist in device configuration. The MINI-ARRAY System may be configured by any of a number of DeviceNet configuration tools; for specific configuration information, refer to your DeviceNet documentation.

ow ed Installation and Mechanical Alignment 3. Installation and Mechanical Alignment 3.1 Emitter and Receiver Mounting Banner MINI-ARRAY emitters and receivers are small, lightweight, and easy to mount; the mounting brackets (supplied) allow ±30 degrees rotation. From a common point of reference, make measurements to position the emitter and receiver in the same plane with their midpoints directly opposite each other. Mount the emitter and receiver brackets using the M4 x 0.
PAGE 15
Installation and Mechanical Alignment Mount the emitter and receiver in their brackets and position the red lenses of the two units so they directly face each other. The connector ends of both sensors must point in the same direction. Measure from one or more reference planes (e.g. the building floor) to the same point(s) on the emitter and receiver to verify their mechanical alignment.
PAGE 16
Installation and Mechanical Alignment 3.3 Hookups Connections are made to the MACNXDN-1 and MACPXDN-1 control modules via 20 wiring terminals located along the front surface of the module. Refer to Figures 3-3 and 3-4 for the appropriate hookup information. NOTE: The controller must be powered up before the DeviceNet connection in every power-up situation, for proper operation. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 EMITTER and RECEIVER CABLES OUTPUT 1 NC RED WHITE BLACK V+ V16 - 30V dc 1.

The foil shield and the braided shield should be removed at the point where the wires exit the cable. Figure 3-5. Emitter and receiver cable preparation 3.3.

Control Module Configuration 3.3.4 DeviceNet Communication Hookups 4. Control Module Configuration The A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY control module is easily configured using the supplied EDS file and the user’s DeviceNet configuration tool. 4.1 Communications Setup See Section 3.3.4, page 17 for information on connecting the MINI-ARRAY control module to the DeviceNet network. 4.2 System Alignment The emitter/receiver pairs have a wide field of view and are easy to align.
PAGE 19
Control Module Configuration 4.4 Control Mode Selection The control mode determines the method used to control scanning of the light screen array. Choose from three scan control modes: • Continuous Scan mode (the Factory default setting), • Host Command mode, and • Gate mode In Continuous Scan Mode, the control module begins a new scan as soon as it updates the outputs from the previous scan. This is the fastest scan control method; it is used when continuous updating of the outputs is acceptable.
PAGE 20
Control Module Configuration 4.5 Scanning Methods The control module offers the choice of one of four scanning methods: • • • • Straight scan Interlaced scan Edge scan Skip scan Straight Scan is the default mode in which all beams are scanned in sequence from the bottom end (cable end) to the top end of the array. This scanning method requires the longest scan times and provides the smallest object detection size.

PAGE 22
Control Module Configuration 4.7 Output Configuration (Analysis Mode Assignment) Both outputs #1 and #2 (“Alarm”) individually may be assigned to one of the Scan Analysis Modes selected for Meas 1 or Meas 2 or they may be Disabled. Either output may be disabled, but not both at the same time. Each output has Low and High Set Point options. The number selected for each option identifies a beam in the array (beam #1 being closest to the cabled end of the emitter and the receiver).
PAGE 23
System Diagnostics 5. System Diagnostics System diagnostics may be performed using the status and diagnostics indicators on the control module and sensors. 5.1 Diagnostics/Status Indicators NOTE: Status indicators appear to “freeze” if the controller is configured for Gate or Host mode (Section 4.4), and no signal is present to cause a scan update.

Appendix A: Glossary Blanked Beam: A beam that is “ignored” by the receiver, as the result of a blanking program being applied to it. Beams (or groups of beams) are blanked when a component or fixture will remain in or move through the light screen array; blanking the affected beams prevents the component or fixture from causing false outputs. Blocked Beam: A beam that is obstructed between the emitter and the receiver, and is not blanked.
