Used to judge the presence/absence of a workpiece using the pre-determined background

of the absence of workpiece. Insufficient light level or outside-range errors caused by
complicated workpiece appearance are judged as "the presence of the workpiece".

• TUNE1 input (external input terminal) can also replace the button operations
for tuning to CH1.
Tuning can be performed for TUNE2 to CH2.
•
When performing tuning, threshold values are recorded in EEPROM (non-volatile
memory) in the sensor. The writing life of EEPROM is 100,000 times. Be careful of
writing life when performing measurement-by-measurement tuning.
• The allocation of button and external input terminals can be fixed by
changing the tuning type.

Fine Adjustment of Hysteresis Width
2-5
●
Hysteresis Width Setting
A minute step can be judged by adjusting the hysteresis width according to the
workpiece. However, note that the judgment output varies if lowering the hysteresis
width while the displacement value is varying due to moving workpiece or low
reflection light intensity.
●
What is Hysteresis Width?
A point in which a judgment output turns from OFF to ON is called an operating
point, and a point in which a judgment output turns from ON to OFF is called a return
point. On this sensor, threshold means operating point, and a distance to the return
point can be set based on the hysteresis width.
Note that the direction where the hysteresis width is set for the threshold differs
depending on ON/OFF of the area output.
