Functions

5-7 Application Indicator Function

This function allows the upper application indicator and lower application indicator of the light
curtain to be used in application mode.
Set DIP switch 3 on the light curtain receiver to ON, and switch from beam adjustment mode to
application mode.
Indication by the light curtain's application indicator input 1 wire / 2 wire and indication in re-
sponse to states of the light curtain are possible.
The factory set color of the application indicator input 1 wire is gray, and the factory set color of
the application indicator input 2 wire is gray / black. For the lead wire color when the input / out-
put wire setting is changed, refer to "5-2 Input / output specifications".
When multiple light curtain units are connected in series, beam adjustment mode and applica-
tion mode can be used together.
Mixed application modes can also be used.

5-7-1 Indication by application indicator input

You can select application indicator ON / OFF with the wiring of the application indicator input 1
wire / 2 wire of the light curtain.
The software tool can be used to set changes to the indication color and Blinking / OFF.
5-7-1-1 Application indicator input 1 / 2 wire
The cable and input / output specification determine whether or not the light curtain's application
indicator input 1 wire / 2 wire is incorporated. When the light curtain's application indicator input
1 wire / 2 wire is "incorporated", indication by application indicator input 1 wire / 2 wire is pos-
sible.
In the case of line synchronization, indication by the light curtain's application indicator input 1
wire / 2 wire takes place on the emitter and receiver.
In the case of optical synchronization, indication takes place on an emitter or receiver equipped
with the light curtain's application indicator input 1 wire / 2 wire. In the case of optical synchroni-
zation, settings by the software tool are written to an emitter or receiver equipped with the light
curtain's application indicator input 1 wire / 2 wire.
