Description of Sensor Functions
Programming the sensor functions
The sensor features an analog output with two programmable limit values. The limit values and output operating modes can be programmed
in three different ways:
- Using the programming key on the sensor
- By activating the 0-V or +U
B
supply voltage on the programming input (for programming the limit values only)
- Using the serial interface on the sensor. This method requires an external interface module.
The programming methods using the programming key and programming input are described below. To use the serial interface on the sensor
for programming, see the software description. The processes for programming the limit values and the sensor operating modes run completely
independently and do not influence one another.
Notes:
- The sensor can only be programmed during the first 5 minutes after switching on. This time is extended during the actual programming pro-
cess. The option of programming the sensor is revoked if no programming activities take place for 5 minutes.
- Programming can be aborted at any time during the process, without changing the sensor settings. To do so, press and hold the program-
ming key for 10 seconds.
Programming the limit value of the analog characteristic
Note
A flashing red LED during the programming process indicates unreliable object detection. Should this occur, correct the alignment of the object
until the yellow LED flashes. Only then will the settings be transferred to the sensor memory.
Programming the limit values using the programming key
Programming the near characteristic limit value
1. Position the object at the site of the required near limit value
2. Press and hold the programming key for 2 seconds (yellow LED flashes)
3. Briefly press the programming key (green LED flashes 3 times as confirmation). The sensor returns to normal mode.
Programming the distant characteristic limit value
1. Position the object at the site of the required distant limit value
2. Press and hold the programming key for 2 seconds (yellow LED flashes)
3. Press and hold the programming key for 2 seconds (green LED flashes 3 times as confirmation). The sensor returns to normal mode.
Programming the limit values using the programming input
Notes:
- Before starting the programming process, the programming input must be disconnected for at least 2 seconds.
- If the operating voltage (0 V or +U
B
) is applied for >10 seconds, the sensor returns to normal mode without changing the settings. To ensure
that programming is successful, disconnect the programming input before this time elapses.
- If the programming input is not used, it should be permanently connected at 0 V.
- If programming adapter UB-PROG2 is used for the programming process, the "A1" key is equivalent to 0 V and "A2" to +U
B
. In this case,
ensure that the wire that is connected to the programming input is open at the end of the sensor cable (not clamped at potential).
Programming the near characteristic limit value
1. Position the object at the site of the required near limit value
2. Connect the programming input to 0 V for 2 seconds (yellow LED flashes, then the green LED flashes three times as confirmation). The sen-
sor then returns to normal mode.
Programming the distant characteristic limit value
1. Position the object at the site of the required distant limit value
2. Connect the programming input to +U
B
for 2 seconds (yellow LED flashes, then the green LED flashes three times as confirmation). The
sensor then returns to normal mode.
Programming the sensor operating modes
The sensor features a two-stage process for programming the sensor operating modes. During this process, you can program:
1. The curve of the analog characteristic
2. The shape of the sound cone
These two stages of the process are programmed in succession. To switch from one programming function to the next, press and hold the pro-
gramming key for 2 seconds.
