The use of only two switches makes for very simple operations
All models
Only two switches, the large
jog switch and the large MODE
key, are required for operation.
You can operate it simply by
the 3 steps shown on the right.
●
Large MODE key
●
Large jog switch
Pressing the switch selects
or cancels the operating
mode
Moving the switch
from side to side
allows items to be
selected

Pressing the
switch then
confirms the

A quick-connection cable saves wiring and
work-hours
Connector type
One unit can be used as either a main unit or sub unit
The amplier unit can be used as either a main unit
or a sub unit. This feature allows for easy mounting in
the side-by-side conguration. The main and sub unit
functions are distinguished only by the proper use of the
main cable and the sub cable.
Moreover, inventory management and maintenance is
simplied.
An optical communication function allows up to *16 sensors
to be adjusted simultaneously
FX-301 FX-305
The optical communication function allows the data that is
currently set to be copied and saved all at once for all ampliers
connected together from the right side. This greatly reduces
troublesome setup tasks and makes setup much smoother.In
addition, troublesome adjustment operations at times such as
when replacing
sensors can also be
carried out easily
and data can also be
copied and stored
using the optical
communication
function.
Single copy & save operation for all amplifiers
* Use the optical communication function for only the same types of sensors. Furthermore,
the FX-301-HS is not equipped with optical communication function capability.
Settings can be entered directly using numerical input
All models
Every function can be directly set merely by the input
of a four digit code (numbers) from the code table. This
convenient feature is easy to set up. In the event that
settings are accidentally changed at the operating site,
merely entering the correct code can restore the original
settings. This results in easy and quick maintenance.
First digit: Settings for response time and hysteresis
Second digit: Settings for L/D ON and display mode
Fourth digit: Timer period settings
Third digit: Settings for Adjust lock and timer
Identical part numbers eliminate
the need for costly inventory
management labor

Upper communication unit for digital sensor
SC-GU1-485
We now offer remote maintenance for digital sensors!
The communication unit enables inputs to the digital ber
sensors (such as teaching and data bank switching) to
be carried out via a PLC or a personal computer, and
also allows conrming of the incident light intensity an
output status for the ber sensors. This greatly improves
workability during equipment starting up and maintenance.

External input unit for digital sensor
FX-CH2
Teaching and changing settings can be performed
by using the PLC and touch panel.
Various settings and switching of up to 16 units of
digital ber sensors can be accomplished at once
without operating the actual sensors themselves, but
via external signals, such as the PLC, touch panel, and
push buttons.
