Q45X Series Sensors

Q45X Series sensors are self-contained dc photoelectric devices designed

for reliable sensing in industrial environments. A unique design allows

the user to instantly customize the basic sensor with the addition of one of

many optional expansion cards.

Expansion cards will be available for conversion of the basic sensor to

nearly any data bus system protocol. Sensors are easily converted to bus-

compatible devices by simply raising the hinged top cover and plugging

the appropriate bus card into the expansion slot. Bus system expansion

cards are currently planned for DeviceNet™, SDS™, Seriplex™, ASI™,

LON™, and others.

With the bus card installed in the Q45X, "smart drop" junction boxes are

not required. Sensor wiring is accomplished using simple "dumb drop"

junction boxes or "T" connectors. If the bus protocol is ever changed, the

Q45X Series sensors on the network can be quickly converted by simply

inserting a different bus card. Sensors are reconfigured without disturbing

mounting or alignment.

The expansion slot also allows numerous advanced sensor features to be

added to the basic Q45X, including sensor diagnostics and digital bargraph

displays. In addition, other advanced functions can be developed to meet

specific customer requirements.

Description

The Q45X is a 10 to 30V dc sensor with impressive

optical performance. Output of the basic sensor (i. e.

without a bus card) is bipolar: one sourcing (PNP)

and one sinking (NPN) solid-state device. Both

outputs have 250 mA capacity, and may be used

simultaneously. Outputs are converted from light

operate (normally open) to dark operate (normally

closed) via a switch located under the hinged top

cover. This basic output configuration provides a

direct interface to a PLC or to any "smart drop" on a

bus system (see page 5).

Standard Q45X features include three highly-visible

sensor status indicator LEDs for power, signal, and

output state. The POWER LED flashes to indicate an

overload or short circuit of either output. The

SIGNAL LED incorporates Banner’s patented Align-

ment Indicating Device (AID™) circuitry which

pulses the indicator at a rate which is proportional to

the received light signal strength. A slow flash rate

alerts personnel to a marginal signal due to sensor

misalignment or dirt on the lenses.

Q45X sensors are available for the nine sensing

modes listed in the table (left). All models boast o-

ring sealing which exceeds the NEMA 6P (IP67)

rating. The Q45X is designed to withstand wash-

downs to 1200 psi. Q45Xs are extremely rugged, with

VALOX

housings and molded acrylic lenses. Mini-

style quick disconnect (QD) fittings are standard,

and allow the user to choose mating 5-wire cable to

exactly fit the interfacing requirements (see pages 5

and 6).
