R-GAGE® T30R Sensor Hysteresis Lines Displays the hysteresis distance. 4.3 Summary Pane The Summary pane (blue shaded area) displays Distance, Signal Strength, and Output Status. Distance Displays the distance to the target. Signal Strength Displays the amount of excess gain of the signal received from the target. The excess gain is relative to the minimum detection threshold (Signal Strength Threshold = 1).
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor 4.4.2 Analog Tab The following are the parameters on the Analog tab on the Sensor Settings pane. This tab is available for analog models. Analog Span Define the outer limits of the analog range. This can be used to create a positive or negative slope. Analog output options: Current: 4 mA to 20 mA Voltage: 0 V to 10 V or 0.5 V to 4.5 V Figure 6. Slope—Voltage-Sourcing Models, 0 V to 10 V Figure 5.
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor 4.4.3 Discrete 1 Tab The following are the parameters on the Discrete 1 tab on the Sensor Settings pane. Output Mode Select Switch Point or Window. Switch Point: The distance at which the switch point threshold is placed. Window: Define two set points to create window limits. Distance Settings Define the set point(s) and the hysteresis. Output Settings NO/NC: Select Normally Open or Normally Closed from the list. On Delay: Set an on delay in milliseconds. The maximum time is 60,000 ms.
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor Pulse Pro/PFM Settings Available when Output Mode is set to Pulse Pro/PFM. The T30R can generate pulses whose frequency are proportional to the sensor's measured distance, thereby providing a method for representing an analog signal with only a discrete counter. The sensing range of the sensor is scaled from 100 Hz to 600 Hz. 100 Hz equals the near range limit of the sensor, and 600 Hz equals the far sensing range limit.
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor 5 Configuring a Sensor 5.1 Banner Radar Configuration Software Use the Banner Radar Configuration software and PRO-KIT to set up the R-GAGE sensor. For more information visit www.bannerengineering.com/us/en/products/sensors/software/radar-configuration.html. 5.2 IO-Link Interface IO-Link is a point-to-point communication link between a master device and sensor. Use IO-Link to parameterize sensors and transmit process data automatically.
R-GAGE® T30R Sensor Note: Teach modes must be set with the remote input wire. To cancel a configuration while in process, press and hold the button for the output being taught for longer than 2 seconds. 1. To enter TEACH mode, press and hold the button for the desired output. The buttons are Analog and Discrete (analog models) and Discrete 1 and Discrete 2 (discrete models). 2. 3. 4. 5.

R-GAGE® T30R Sensor 6.5 Beam Patterns The beam pattern of the radar sensor is dependent on the radar cross section (RCS) of the target. The beam pattern graphs are guides for representative object detection capabilities based on different sized radar cross sections and corresponding example real world targets. Use the following charts as a starting point in application setup. Note that applications vary. • Use the Beam Width versus Distance chart to understand where corresponding objects can be detected.
