A L-GAGE Q50 - Complementary Discrete Output Sensor Sensor Overview The Q50 Complementary Discrete is an easy-to-use triangulation sensor which provides a sophisticated, yet cost-effective solution for demanding applications. Q50 Series sensors feature compact, all-in-one design and require no separate controller. Each sensor has two discrete outputs (both NPN or both PNP). The complementary output can be configured for one of two conditions: * A sensing window consisting of two switch points * A single switch point, as with an adjustable-field sensor Optical Triangulation The function of the Q50 Sensor is based on optical triangulation (see Figure 1). The emitter circuitry and optics create a light source which is directed toward a target. The light source bounces off the target, scattering some of its light through the sensor's receiver lens to its position-sensitive-device (PSD) receiver element. The target's distance from the receiver determines the light's angle to the receiver element; this angle determines where the returned light will touch the PSD receiver element. The position of the light on the PSD receiver element is processed through digital electronics and analyzed by the microprocessor. The microprocessor will compare the target position to the taught window limits and then change the discrete outputs as required.

Press and hold the Teach push button until the Teach LED turns red (depress button for about 2 seconds). This indicates the sensor is waiting for the first window limit. 2. Position the target for the first limit. The Range LED should be green, indicating a valid target. Briefly "click" the Teach push button. This will teach the sensor the first limit. The Teach LED will flash red at 2 Hz to acknowledge receiving the first window limit; it is now waiting for the second limit. 4 Q50BV (6% Black) 3 3.

The white wire conducts when the target is outside (away from) the set point (see Figure 7). 1. Press and hold the Teach push button until the Teach LED turns Red (depress button for approximately 2 seconds). 2. Position the target at the sensing set point. The Range LED should be green, indicating a valid target. Briefly "click" the Teach push button. This will teach the sensor the first limit. The Teach LED will flash red at 2 Hz to acknowledge receiving the first window limit; it is now waiting for a second limit. 3. Maintain the same target position and "click" the Teach push button again to teach the same window position. The Teach LED will return to either yellow or OFF as the sensor returns to RUN mode. Note: The yellow LED will follow the black wire output. Remote Programming A function is provided to program the sensor remotely or to disable/enable the push button; this is accomplished via the gray wire. Disabling the push button prevents anyone on the production floor from adjusting any of the programming settings. Connect the gray wire of the Q50 Sensor to +5 to 30V dc, with a remote programming switch connected between them. NOTE: The impedance of the remote teach input is 15 k. To program, pulse the wire as illustrated in Figure 6. NOTE: The duration of each pulse (corresponding to a push button "click") is 0.04 to 0.8 seconds.

Timing for remote TEACH programming A Single Sensing Set Point with Complementary Outputs IN OUT RANGE Complementary Discrete Outputs The complementary discrete outputs are either both NPN or both PNP. The outputs are configured via the Teach procedure to either a single window or a fixed-field (single set point) application. The outputs are short circuit-protected and can switch up to 150 mA (resistive load). T TEACH OUTPUT Teach/Output LED In RUN mode, the Output LED is yellow when a target is sensed within the programmed window limits; otherwise the Output LED is red. Refer to the Indicator Status table on page 3. T Teach First Window Limit Run Mode NOTE: All LED indicators momentarily go OFF when the sensor changes state between RUN and TEACH modes. Range LED When the sensor detects a target within its sensing range (either 100 to 300 mm for visible-beam models, or 100 to 400 mm for infrared beam models) the LED will be solid green. In the absence of a target, the Range LED is solid red. Refer to the Indicator Status table on page 3. > 0.8 sec T Black Wire Conducting White Wire Conducting Sensing Range Figure 7.
