Question
Answer
Can the cable between Sensor Heads and the
Preamplifiers be extended?
No. If the cable is extended, measurement precision is lost.
Can calculations be performed with ZX-L-series
Smart Sensors (Laser Type), ZX-W-series Smart
Sensors (Microwave Type), and ZX-E-series
Smart Sensors (Linear Proximity Type)?
No. The ZX-L-series Smart Sensors (Laser Type), ZX-W-series
Smart Sensors (Microwave Type), and ZX-E-series Smart Sen-
sors (Linear Proximity Type) do not support calculations.
Is the ZX-SF-11 Interface Unit used with the ZX-
L-series Smart Sensors (Laser Type), ZX-W-
series Smart Sensors (Microwave Type), and
ZX-E-series Smart Sensors (Linear Proximity
Type) compatible with the ZX-T-series Smart
Sensors (Inductive Displacement Type)?
Yes, if the Interface Unit is version 2.0 or later. If the Interface Unit
is an earlier version, contact your OMRON representative.
(The Interface Unit version can be checked through the following
procedure.)
• Enter the version check command using a personal computer or
Programmable Controller.
• Check using the ZX-L-series and ZX-E-series Smart Monitor.
Why does an error occur and settings cannot be
made when teaching or directly inputting thresh-
old values?
Threshold values cannot be set using teaching or by direct input if
the following condition is not met:
• HIGH threshold value
−
LOW threshold value
>
hysteresis width
p. 77
When monitor focus is executed, why does an
error appear on the sub-display and the settings
cannot be made?
Monitor focus settings cannot be made when the distance
between the two specified points is not 1% or more of the mea-
surement distance.
p. 81
Can calculations be performed with 9 or more
Amplifier Units?
Contact your OMRON representative.
Can calculations be performed when Sensor
Heads with different measurement distances are
connected to 2 Amplifier Units?
Yes, if both Sensors are ZX-T-series Smart Sensors (Inductive
Displacement Type).
The change in the measured value displayed on
the Amplifier Unit was not the same as the actual
displacement. How do I correct this?
Use the span adjustment function to make the change in the
measured value agree with the actual displacement. You can also
try adjusting the mounting position of the Sensor Head (i.e., the
detection distance), or use the zero reset to match the values.
The Sensor Head has been broken. What needs
to be done?
If the Sensor Head is replaced with the same model, the original
settings will be available as soon as the new Sensor Head is
installed. (Only reset the span adjustment.)
The Amplifier Unit has been broken. What needs
to be done?
Just replace the failed Amplifier Unit with a new one. (The span
adjustment does not have to be reset. Reset the threshold values
and other functions.)
