Q45X Series
Installation
Modules are installed through the top of the sensor.
The procedure is as follows:
1) Remove power from the sensor.
2) Loosen the top cover hold-down screw and raise the cover. The cover is hinged at the front.
3) Using a small screwdriver inserted into one of the slots at the rear of the inside black cover, lift up and remove the
black inside cover (Photo 1).
4) Insert the card in the expansion slot so that the connector receptacles on the card align with the connector pins
inside the sensor. Slide the card down into the slot until the connectors are fully engaged. (Photo 2).
5) Replace the black inside cover. NOTE: Some expansion cards are supplied with a new (replacement) black inside
cover.
Removal
Modules are removed through the top of the sensor. The procedure is as follows:
1) Follow steps 1 through 3 of the Installation Procedure, above.
2) Insert a small, flat bladed screwdriver or similar tool into the lift slot on the edge of the expansion card (Photo 3).
Gently pry up to disconnect the card, and then lift it out.

Hookup Information
Hookup of basic sensor
(no bus card installed - "dumb" sensor)
Hookup to bus network
(bus card installed - "smart" sensor)
The hookup diagram at the above right, for connection to a bus
network, does not show wire colors. Wiring convention is different
for each bus protocol (i. e. DeviceNet™ cable wire colors are
different than SDS™ cable wire colors, etc.). The Q45X offers a 5-
pin mini-style QD connector, as the standard, so that the proper
cable may be selected for the bus system in use. Contact your
Banner sales engineer for help in selecting the appropriate cable.
Use of a bus expansion card makes the Q45X a "smart" sensor
which can be connected to the bus network using a simple "dumb
drop" junction box or a "T" connector. Plugging a bus expansion
card into a sensor automatically converts the basic outputs to a pair
of datacom connections with the proper protocol for the bus
network in use. Q45X sensors without bus cards (i. e. "dumb
sensors") may be added to any bus system via a "smart drop"
junction box. Of course, basic Q45X sensors interface directly to
PLC dc inputs. The block diagram at the right illustrates how
"smart" and "dumb" Q45X sensors can be mixed together on the
same bus network.
