Designated Beam Output Function

 Overview
Incidence/interruption information of a given beam can be output. This function is for the PC tool for
F3SJ only.
 Example
•To turn an external indicator ON when a specified beam of F3SJ is interrupted
•To provide an auxiliary output when a specified beam of F3SJ is receiving light
 Functional Description
• Designated Beam Output Function
If one or more specified beams are interrupted or receiving light, the state of interruption/reception can
be provided as an auxiliary output or an external indicator output operation.
Note that a designated beam output must be assigned to an output operation mode.
- Auxiliary Output (Non-Safety Output) p.94
- External Indicator Output (Non-Safety Output) p.98
• Designated Beam Zone Setting
Use this setting to set the beams to use as designated beams.
With an interrupting object in the appropriate position, it is possible to perform teaching and designate
beams manually.
• Designated Beam Incidence State
Specifies output status of a designated beam whether it is receiving light or interrupted.
ON when interrupted: Output turns ON if one or more beams are interrupted.
ON when receiving: Output turns ON if one or more beams are receiving light.
