System Configuration
Analysis (Measurement)
Mode Selection
Choose the measurement
option that best tells you the
size and/or position of objects
as they relate to the array.
Control Mode Selection
Continuous Mode: The control module
constantly polls the array for status.
Gate Mode: The control module polls
the array for status when prompted
by an input from a Gate sensor.
Host Mode: The control module
polls the array for status when
prompted by a host controller.
Scanning Method
Straight scan polls each
beam sequentially to determine
the target object’s overall size
This is the most accurate and
precise measurement, but
also the most time consuming.
Interlaced alternates a straight
scan with a slanted beam scan
to improve optical resolution
in the center one third of the
sensing range.
Edge activates only the beams
located near the top edge of
the object in the light screen to
reduce sensing response time.
Skip - one to seven beams
skipped reduces response
time. Minimum object detection
size increases proportionally
to the number of beams skipped
Set Point and
Hysteresis Selection
Assigns the set point to determine
where within the array the output(s)
will respond and hysteresis values to
smooth output response.
Invert
Allows output to be normally open
(No) or normally closed (Yes)
Serial Transmission
Choose ASCII, binary or no serial
communication
Blanking
Allows either 1 or 2 areas of the
array to be blind to the activity of
the area specified.
Alarm/Trigger
Output 2 may instead be programmed to
serve as a trigger input for another
MINI-ARRAY or ALARM for the
self-diagnostic circuitry.
Scan #: (1-9) Analog outputs
are updated with an average
value of the data received during
the selected number of scans;
discrete outputs respond only
if the received data is identical
for all of the selected number of
consecutive scans.
Analog and Discrete
Output Assignment
Assigns an analysis
(measurement) mode
to each output.
Serial Communication
Changes the identification
and baud rate of the
controller being configured.
Many options, yet easy to program
The software included with the control module makes it easy to congure the MINI-ARRAY
®
using your PC-compatible computer*.
Simply load the software, access the program and access the Edit PSF Conguration screen, shown below. Each option is easily
selectable, using your mouse and the pop-up menu-style selections.
*Running Windows® 95, 98, NT, ME, XP or 2000
Downloadable Software
