1 Introduction[edit | edit source]
The sensor scans, without contact, the edges of webs comprising materials that are impermeable to sound, like a film.
The FX5230 has a measurement range from +/-10mm.
2 Commissioning[edit | edit source]
The sensor can transmit the sensor signals using 2 different data protocols, data protocol 1.0 or 2.0
For our application we do require data protocol 1.0
In order to set the required data protocol please perform as follows:
- Switch off operating voltage of the sensor
- Press "GRP" button for data protocol 1.0
- Switch on operating voltage of the sensor while pressing "GRP" button
- Keep it pressed for approx. 15 sec - LED 1 will start flashing. After 15 secs the flashing LED changes to continuous illumination (only for a short time) as confirmation of the change of the data protocol
- Release pressed button. The sensor switches to normal operating mode - the setting is complete
3 Function test[edit | edit source]
To test if the sensor is working fine it should deliver the position -10mm if no film is inside and +10mm if the film is fully inside.
4 Troubleshooting[edit | edit source]
If the sensor doesn't work properly check if you can measure an analog output signal on X3 4/8 for the old one (AK4021) , for the new one (DA2010) -X10 4/6
NEW
The DIP switch setting are in the drawings displayed:
Output Config -10V - 10V : set all DIPs to off, except DIP 1 and 6 to on
Output Config 4mA - 10mA : set all DIPs to off, except DIP 2 and 7 to on
In case you cannot measure any output signal it might be possible that the Edge Guide sensor is running on an old firmware version, which doesn't support to switch to the proper data protocol. That means that the sensor does not keep setting 1.0 for the transmission protocol - it will reset it to 2.0 everytime. Erhardt+Leimer can figure out if the correct firmware is running on the sensors by checking the ID-Nr. printed on a label located on the housing of the sensor. Unfortunately it's not possible to check on site if a sensor is running on the proper firmware. Therefore I would recommend sending an email with the ID-Nr. of the sensor to Template:EEC-Support, so they can get in touch with E+L and gather the required information.
