Printed in USA P/N 37735G5A Low cost photoelectric sensors with unique expansion slot to allow instant sensor upgrading at any time* Expansion cards for data bus network interfaces and sensor performance displays Basic sensor directly interfaces to PLCs, relays, and other logic- level loads Easy "smart sensor" interfacing to any data bus network by simply selecting the appropriate plug-in card and cable for popular bus protocols, including DeviceNet ™ , SDS™ , Seriplex™ , ASI ™ , LON™ , and others. 10 to 30V dc operation; integral mini-style quick-disconnect (QD) connector Highly-visible sensor status and performance LEDs Tough mechanical design withstands 1200 psi washdown Photoelectric sensors with expansion slot for field upgrades Q45X Series Sensors Q45X Series sensors are self-contained dc photoelectric devices designed for reliable sensing in industrial environments. A unique design allows the user to instantly customize the basic sensor with the addition of one of many optional expansion cards. Expansion cards will be available for conversion of the basic sensor to nearly any data bus system protocol. Sensors are easily converted to bus- compatible devices by simply raising the hinged top cover and plugging the appropriate bus card into the expansion slot. Bus system expansion cards are currently planned for DeviceNet™, SDS™, Seriplex™, ASI™, LON™, and others. With the bus card installed in the Q45X, "smart drop" junction boxes are not required. Sensor wiring is accomplished using simple "dumb drop" junction boxes or "T" connectors. If the bus protocol is ever changed, the Q45X Series sensors on the network can be quickly converted by simply inserting a different bus card. Sensors are reconfigured without disturbing mounting or alignment. The expansion slot also allows numerous advanced sensor features to be added to the basic Q45X, including sensor diagnostics and digital bargraph displays. In addition, other advanced functions can be developed to meet specific customer requirements.

Description

The Q45X is a 10 to 30V dc sensor with impressive optical performance. Output of the basic sensor (i. e. without a bus card) is bipolar: one sourcing (PNP) and one sinking (NPN) solid-state device. Both outputs have 250 mA capacity, and may be used simultaneously. Outputs are converted from light operate (normally open) to dark operate (normally closed) via a switch located under the hinged top cover. This basic output configuration provides a direct interface to a PLC or to any "smart drop" on a bus system (see page 5). Standard Q45X features include three highly-visible sensor status indicator LEDs for power, signal, and output state. The POWER LED flashes to indicate an overload or short circuit of either output. The SIGNAL LED incorporates Banner’s patented Align- ment Indicating Device (AID™) circuitry which pulses the indicator at a rate which is proportional to the received light signal strength. A slow flash rate alerts personnel to a marginal signal due to sensor misalignment or dirt on the lenses. Q45X sensors are available for the nine sensing modes listed in the table (left). All models boast o- ring sealing which exceeds the NEMA 6P (IP67) rating. The Q45X is designed to withstand wash- downs to 1200 psi. Q45Xs are extremely rugged, with VALOX ® housings and molded acrylic lenses. Mini- style quick disconnect (QD) fittings are standard, and allow the user to choose mating 5-wire cable to exactly fit the interfacing requirements (see pages 5 and 6).

SUPPLY VOLTAGE: 10 to 30V dc (10% maximum ripple), at less than 50 mA (exclusive of load). OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: Basic sensor output: Bipolar; one current sinking (NPN) and one current sourcing (PNP) open-collector transistor. With optional bus card in expansion slot: Two-wire datacom interface with protocol corresponding to the bus system which is supported by the expansion board in use. Bus cards are planned for Device Net™, SDS™, Seriplex™, ASI™, LON™, and others. OUTPUT RATING (for basic sensor configuration, no bus card in use): 250 mA maximum (each output) up to 50°C, derated to 150 mA at 70°C (derate 5 mA/°C). Output leakage < 1 µA (off state). Output saturation voltage (both outputs) <1V at 10 mA and <2 V at 250 mA. Both outputs are protected against continuous overload or short circuit when the sensor is in the basic configuration. CIRCUITRY PROTECTION: Sensors are protected against false pulse upon power-up and false response to power supply transients. Sensors are protected from power supply polarity reversal. RESPONSE TIME and REPEATABILITY: Independent of signal strength. See individual sensor specifications (pages 3 & 4). 100 millisecond delay upon power-up (outputs are inactive during this period). ADJUSTMENTS: Multi-turn SENSITIVITY control on top of sensor (beneath a transparent o-ring sealed Lexan ® cover) allows precise sensitivity setting (turn clockwise to increase gain). Inter- nal switch selects LIGHT operate (L/O) or DARK operate (D/O). STATUS INDICATORS: Highly visible; located beneath a trans- parent Lexan ® dome on top of the sensor. POWER: Green LED lights whenever 10 to 30V dc power is applied, and flashes to indicate output overload or short circuit. SIGNAL: Patented Alignment Indicating Device (AID™) System red LED pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal. An LED bargraph indicator is available on an optional expansion card for continuous monitoring of signal level and sensing contrast. LOAD: Yellow LED lights whenever the outputs are conducting. CONSTRUCTION: Molded VALOX ® thermoplastic polyester housing. Molded acrylic lenses. Stainless steel hardware. O-ring sealed transparent Lexan ® top cover. NEMA 6P (IEC IP 67) rated. Designed to withstand 1200 psi washdown (except cable connec- tion). CABLE: Sensors require mini-style quick disconnect cable, sold separately. See page 5 for details. MOUNTING OPTIONS: Standard industrial limit switch mounting via two #10 (5 mm) screw clearance holes on 30 mm centers (see dimension drawing, above right). Brackets are avail- able for mounting sensor by its 30 mm threaded base (mounting jam nut is included with sensor). See page 6 and the Banner Product Catalog for a selection of 30 mm brackets.

The visible red sensing beam of these sensors makes them very easy to align. Model Q45XB6LPQ polarizes the emitted light and filters out unwanted reflections, making sensing possible in applications otherwise con- sidered unsuited to retroreflective sensing. Use "LPs" only in very clean environments, and use with the model BRT-3 3" reflector. NOTE: for detailed information on retroreflective tar- gets, see the Banner product catalog.

They are ideal for use when the reflectivity and profile of the object to be detected are sufficient to return a large per- centage of emitted light back to the sensor. Model Q45XB6DLQ is the first choice for diffuse (proximity) mode applications when there are no background objects to falsely return light.

Beam PatternExcess GainSensing Mode and Models Q45XB6FPQ ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS FOR PLASTIC FIBER OPTICS OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF PLASTIC FIBER OPTIC ASSEMBLIES: -30 to +70 degrees C (-20 to +158 degrees F). CHEMICAL RESISTANCE OF PLASTIC FIBER OPTIC ASSEMBLIES: the acrylic core of the monofilament optical fiber will be damaged by contact with acids, strong bases (alkalis), and solvents. The polyethylene jacket will protect the optical fiber from most chemical environments; however, materials may migrate through the jacket with long-term exposure. Samples of plastic fiberoptic material are available from Banner for testing and evaluation. FIBER OPTIC Mode (plastic fibers) Plastic fiber optics are lower in cost than glass fiber optics, and are ideal for use in situations where environmental conditions allow (see in- formation, below). They are easily cut to length in the field, and are available in a variety of sensing end styles. For further information, refer to the Banner product catalog.

As a result, opposed individual fibers operate reliably in many very hostile environments. Also, special miniature bifurcated fiber optic assemblies with bundle sizes as small as .020 inch (.5mm) in diameter may be used successfully for diffuse mode sensing. The excess gain curves and beam pat- terns illustrate response with standard .060 inch (1.5mm) diameter and .12 inch (3mm) diameter bundles. Response for smaller or larger bundle sizes may be interpolated. OBJECT Diffuse Mode Opposed Mode OBJECT Q45XB6CVQ and Q45XB6CV4QCONVERGENT Mode Ranges: CV focus at 1.5 in.

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. Installation and Removal, Q45X Series Plug-in Expansion Cards Lift here Photo 1. Photo 2. Lift board up and out Photo 3. 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.
