For FX-305(P)

The

FX-305(P) is equipped with two independent outputs, but

the items that can be set in output 1 and output 2 respectively

are only the following.

The items other than those are common.

1

Threshold value 2 Output operation

3

Timer operation and Timer period 4 Sensing mode

Teaching

• The threshold values can be set by 2-point teaching, limit

teaching, full-auto teaching or window comparator mode

(1-point, 2-point, 3-point teaching) [only for

FX-305(P)],

when the MODE indicator / TEACH (yellow) lights up.

• This is the method of setting the threshold value by teaching

two levels, corresponding to the object present and object

absent conditions. Normally, setting is done by this method.

For

FX-305(P), select either Output 1 “

If the teaching is accepted, the read incident

light intensity blinks in the digital display.

If the teaching is accepted, the read incident

light intensity blinks in the digital display

and the threshold value is set at the mid-

value between the incident light intensities

in the object present and the object absent

conditions. After this, the judgment on the

stability of sensing is displayed.

In case stable sensing is possible: “

(only

FX-301B/G/H)

The incident light intensity appears in the

digital display and the setting is complete.

Notes: 1) Do not move or bend the fiber cable after the sensitivity setting.

Detection may become unstable.

2) In case a reflective-type fiber is used, maximum sensitivity will be

set if the jog switch is pushed while in no work status in procedure

and .

continuously for 0.5 sec. or more with the object

moving on the assembly line. (The incident light

intensity is displayed during sampling.)

the jog switch when the object has passed.

If the teaching is accepted, the read incident

light intensity blinks in the digital display

value between the incident light intensities

in the object present and the object absent

conditions. After this, the judgment on the

stability of sensing is displayed.

(only

FX-301B/G/H)

The incident light intensity appears in the

digital display and the setting is complete.

Notes: 1) The threshold value’s shift amount can be selected in PRO mode.

Refer to the “PRO Mode Operation Guide” for more details

pertaining to setting instructions. (Increments of 5 % between –45

and 45 % for setting possible. 0 % default.)

2) Do not move or bend the fiber cable after the sensitivity setting.

Detection may become unstable.

In case of 2-point teaching

• Full auto-teaching is used when it is desired to set the

threshold value without stopping the assembly line, with

the object in the moving condition.

In case of full auto-teaching

Refer to p.1458~ for general precautions and to the “PRO mode operation guide”

on our website for details pertaining to operating instructions for the amplifier.
