SENSOR
The SENSOR function block verifies the status of the
input of a sensor (not a safety sensor). If the beam
of the sensor is occupied (sensor output FALSE) the
output is 0 (FALSE). Otherwise, with the beam clear
and an output of 1 (TRUE) then the output is 1 (TRUE)
Parameters
Manual Reset:
If selected this enables the request to reset each
time the area protected by the sensor is occupied.
Otherwise, enabling of the output directly follows the
input conditions.
There are two types of reset:
Manual and Monitored.
When Manual is selected the system only verifies the signal's transition from 0 to 1. If Monitored is selected the
double transition from 0 to 1 and then back to 0 is verified.
WARNING:
If the Manual Reset is active, a consecutive Input has to be used. Example: In 1 and In 2 are
used for the functional block, then In 3 has to be used for the Reset Input.
Output Test:
This is used to select which test output signals are to be sent to the sensor. This additional test makes it possible
to detect and manage any short-circuits between the lines. There is a choice of up to 8 possible test output
signals, Test Output 1 ÷ Test Output 8 (depending on used module).
Startup Test:
If selected this enables the test at start-up of the external component. This test is performed by occupying and
clearing the area of the sensor to run a complete function test and enable the output. This test is only requested
at machine start-up (when the unit is switched on).
Filter (ms):
This is used to filter the signals coming from the safety light curtain. The filter can be configured to between 3
and 250 ms and eliminates any bouncing on the contacts. The length of the filter affects the calculation of the
unit's total response time
Enable Error Out:
If selected reports a fault detected by the function block.
Item Description:
This allows a description of the component's function to be entered. The text is displayed in the top part of the
