Basic TEACH Instructions
Use the following instructions to teach the
Q5X
sensor. The instructions provided on the sensor display vary depending on the type of
TEACH mode selected.
Two-point TEACH is the default TEACH mode.
See the Instruction Manual for detailed instructions and other available TEACH modes. The TEACH modes include:
Twopoint static background suppression
—Twopoint TEACH sets a single switch point.
The sensor sets the switch point
between two taught target distances, relative to the shifted origin location.
Dynamic background suppression
—
Dynamic TEACH sets a single switch point during machine run conditions.
The sensor
takes multiple samples and the switch point is set between the minimum and the maximum sampled distances.
Onepoint window (foreground suppression)
—
One-point window sets a window (two switch points) centered around the
taught target distance.
Onepoint background suppression
—Onepoint background suppression sets a single switch point in front of the taught tar
get distance. Objects beyond the taught switch point are ignored.
Dual int distance
—Dual mode records the distance and amount of light received from the reference surface.
See
"Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations" on page 16
for more information about selecting a reference surface. The out
put switches when an object passing between the sensor and the reference surface changes the perceived distance or amount of
returned light.
Manual Adjustments
Manually adjust the sensor switch point using the
+
and
-
buttons.
NOTE: When FGS mode is selected (FGS indicator is on), manual adjustment moves both sides of the symmetrical
threshold window simultaneously, expanding and collapsing the window size. Manual adjustment does not move the
center point of the window.
NOTE: When dual mode is selected (DYN, FGS, and BGS indicators are on), after the TEACH process is completed,
use the manual adjustment to adjust the sensitivity of the thresholds around the taught reference point. The taught ref
erence point is a combination of the measured distance and returned signal intensity from the reference target. Manual
adjustment does not move the taught reference point, but pressing
+
increases the sensitivity, and pressing
-
decreas
es the sensitivity. When repositioning the sensor or changing the reference target, reteach the sensor.
Locking and Unlocking the Sensor Buttons
Use the lock and unlock feature to prevent unauthorized or accidental programming changes.
Three settings are available:
—The sensor is unlocked and all settings can be modified (default).
—The sensor is locked and no changes can be made.
—The switch point value can be changed by teaching or manual adjustment, but no sensor settings can be changed through
the menu.
When the sensor is in either
Loc
or
0Loc
mode, the active channel can be changed using (+)
(CH1/CH2)
.
When in
Loc
mode,
Loc
displays when the
(SELECT)(TEACH)
button is pressed. The switch point displays when (+)
(CH1/CH2)
or
(-)
(MODE)
are pressed, but
Loc
displays if the buttons are pressed and held.
When in
0Loc
mode,
Loc
displays when
(-)(MODE)
is pressed and held. To access the manual adjust options, briefly press and re
lease (+)
(CH1/CH2)
or
(-)(MODE)
. To enter TEACH mode, press the
(SELECT)(TEACH)
button and hold for longer than 2 seconds.
To enter
Loc
mode, hold
+
and press
-
four times. To enter
0Loc
mode, hold
+
and press
-
seven times. Holding
+
and pressing
-
four times
unlocks the sensor from either lock mode and the sensor displays
uLoc
.
Press and hold
TEACH
for longer than 2 seconds to start the selected TEACH mode.
1.
Present the target.
2.
Press
TEACH
to teach the target. The target is taught and the sensor waits for the second target, if required by the selected TEACH
mode, or returns to Run mode.
3.
Complete these steps only if it is required for the selected TEACH mode.
4.
Present the second target.
a.
Press
TEACH
to teach the target. The target is taught and the sensor returns to Run mode.
b.
From Run mode, press either
+
or
-
one time. The selected channel displays briefly, then the current switch point value flashes slow
ly.
1.
Press
+
to move the switch point up or
-
to move the switch point down. After 1 second of inactivity, the new switch point value flash
es rapidly, the new setting is accepted, and the sensor returns to Run mode.
