4.7 Output Configuration (Analysis Mode Assignment)
Both outputs #1 and #2 (“Alarm”) individually may be assigned to one of the Scan
Analysis Modes selected for Meas 1 or Meas 2 or they may be Disabled. Either output
may be disabled, but not both at the same time.
Each output has Low and High Set Point options. The number selected for each
option identifies a beam in the array (beam #1 being closest to the cabled end of the
emitter and the receiver). When the selected Scan Analysis Mode involves first or last
beam blocked or made (unblocked), the assigned output will energize when the beam
identified during a scan falls within the range of the set points. When the Scan
Analysis Mode involves total beams blocked or made, that assigned output will
energize when the value of total beams counted during a scan falls within the range of
the set points.
Invert is an option (choose Yes or No) that may be applied to either or both of the
selected outputs. When Inverted (Yes) is selected for an output, that output will
de-energize (turn OFF), rather than energize, whenever the scan analysis value falls
within the range of the set points.
Hysteresis values for each end of the set point range may also be set. Hysteresis
determines the amount of change that must occur at each set point (High and Low)
to cause the associated output to change state. Hysteresis prevents unstable output
conditions when the scan analysis value exactly matches one of the set points. The
default hysteresis setting is one beam less than the Low Set Point and one beam
more than the High Set Point.
Alarm and Trigger
Output #2 (only) has two additional options: Alarm and Trigger.
Alarm: Output #2 energizes whenever the System detects a sensor error (such as a
disconnected cable).
Trigger: can be used to gate a second control module. The Trigger output is a 100
microsecond (0.0001 sec.) pulse. If the control module is set for edge scan, the
Trigger pulse will come at the end of the scan (Trigger Channel Number will be
ignored).
