  • Fibers install quickly without tools.
  • Bipolar (NPN/PNP) outputs with three Delay settings (0, 20 or 40 milliseconds).

  • Mounts flat or to 35 mm DIN rail; two brackets included with sensor (one for angle mount, one for flat mount). R55F Series Sensor Overview The R55F Fiber-Optic Sensor was developed to provide simplicity of operation and access to tight areas for color mark (registration) sensing applications. The R55F is a technological advancement from earlier R55 models. R55F sensors feature TEACH mode sensitivity adjustment, by presenting the light and the dark sensing conditions to the sensor. In addition, sensitivity may be fine-tuned at any time by simply clicking the “+” or “-” buttons on the sensor. The ten-element signal strength light bar clearly displays the relative received signal strength. The bipolar (one NPN and one PNP) outputs may be programmed to include a 20 or 40-millisecond pulse stretcher (OFF Delay), if required. Both TEACH mode sensitivity adjustment and output SETUP are accomplished using the push-buttons on the sensor, or by supplying input pulses via the Remote Teach input. TEACH mode has two options: Static TEACH and Dynamic TEACH. Static TEACH is used to manually set the two sensing conditions individually or to program a specific condition to be sensed (single-point TEACH). Dynamic TEACH provides a means for teaching a series of conditions on-the-fly; the R55F “averages” the sensing events and automatically sets (and periodically updates via the adaptive threshold feature) the switch point between light and dark conditions.

A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable (see page 11). Advantages of glass fiber optics for color mark sensing:

  • Randomly mixed bifurcated fiber bundles produce the best optics for color mark sensing.
  • Bundle of small fibers may be shaped at sensing end tip to match the color mark shape.
  • Best chemical resistance. Visible Red, 650 nm Visible Green, 525 nm Visible Blue, 475 nm Visible White, 450-650 nm Infrared, 880 nm Visible Red, 650 nm Visible Green, 525 nm Visible Blue, 475 nm Visible White, 450-650 nm Advantages of plastic fiber optics for color mark sensing:
  • Plastic fibers may be repeatedly flexed.
  • Low cost.

LO and DO: Alternately flash green : ON amber (indicating ready to teach output ON condition) Light Bar: Goes OFF TEACH Condition #1 (Output ON state) Present the output ON sensing condition and single-click STATIC button. LO and DO: Alternately flash Green : OFF (indicating ready to teach output OFF condition) Light Bar: Remains OFF TEACH Condition #2 (Output OFF state) Present the output OFF sensing condition and single- click STATIC button. Contrast accepted: one of the ten segments flashes for three seconds to indicate relative contrast, and then the sensor enters RUN mode. Contrast too low: every other segment flashes for three seconds to indicate low contrast, and the sensor returns to TEACH Condition #1.

SETUP DO LO OFF Delay Switch Point DYNAMIC STATIC Double-click LO or DO: depending on condition of taught : OFF Light Bar: Two center segments are lit if TEACH was successful. NOTES: 1) The sensor will return to RUN mode if either TEACH condition is not registered within 90 seconds. Also, TEACH mode may be cancelled by pressing and holding the push button for ≥ 2 seconds. In either case, the sensor will revert to the previous conditions taught (i.e., exit without save). 2) If the sensing conditions are accepted at the end of TEACH Condition #2, the signal strength light bar flashes one of its ten segments for three seconds to indicate relative sensing contrast. The higher the flashing segment, the higher the measured sensing contrast. High contrast relates directly to sensing reliability. High- contrast sensing applications are most tolerant of sensing variables, such as web flutter or variations in color mark color or print density. See page 8 for Remote TEACH procedures

Dynamic TEACH is used to program sensitivity during actual machine run conditions. During Dynamic TEACH, the R55F samples many color marks against their background material and automatically sets the sensitivity at the optimum level. Dynamic TEACH activates the sensor’s adaptive threshold system, which continuously tracks minimum and maximum signal levels, and automatically maintains centering of the switch point between the light and dark conditions. The adaptive threshold system remains in effect during RUN mode to automatically adjust for changes in the light or the dark conditions. When Dynamic TEACH mode is used to program sensitivity, the output ON state must be assigned to either the light or dark condition using the SETUP mode (see page 7). Sensitivity may be adjusted at any time when the sensor is in RUN mode by clicking the “+” and “-” buttons. However, when a manual adjustment is made, the adaptive threshold system is disabled (cancelled).

Contrast too low: five light bar segments flash for three seconds to indicate low contrast, and sensor reverts to the previously taught conditions. NOTES: 1) If the sensing conditions are accepted at the end of Dynamic TEACH, the signal strength light bar flashes one of its ten segments for three seconds to indicate relative sensing contrast. The higher the flashing segment, the higher the measured sensing contrast. High contrast relates directly to sensing reliability. High contrast sensing applications are most tolerant of sensing variables, such as web flutter or variations in color mark color or print density. 2) If the sensor does not measure enough contrast at the end of Dynamic TEACH, every other segment of the signal strength light bar flashes in unison for three seconds to warn of unacceptably low contrast, and the sensor returns to RUN mode with its previously taught conditions.
