Allen-Bradley RightSight 42EF Series User Manual page 43

default value for this parameter is 1.5 with multiple selections that could reach a
maximum of 20X. This means that the sensor will need to have at least 20 times
the amount of light for the Green LED to stop flashing.
Counter/Timer Configuration: In this section, the operator is able to
configure the sensor counter and timer functions. Two main parameter sub-
sections are shown: Counter and Timer.
Counter: When enabled, the counter will count up on any transition from OFF
to ON until a maximum of XXXX detections.
Mode: Allows users to enable or disable the counter function. This
parameter is Read/Write.
Reset: Allows users to reset the counter function. This parameter is write
only and can be enabled via the AOP or sending explicit messages. Refer to
Appendix B for Index information.
Counter: This parameter is read only and displays the current count.
Timer: Measures the amount of time the output is present and absent up to a
maximum period of four seconds.
Mode: Allows users to enable or disable the timer function. This
parameter is Read/Write.
Reset: Allows users to reset the timer function. This parameter is write
only and can be enabled via the AOP or sending explicit messages. Refer to
Appendix B for Index information.
Duration Triggered: Displays the amount of time the target was detected.
The maximum value that this parameter will display is 4095 ms.
Duration Not Triggered: Displays the amount of time the target was not
detected. The maximum value that this parameter will display is 4095 ms.
Data Mapping Configuration: In this section, the operator is able to configure
the combination of parameters that shall be displayed as process data. The 42EF
RightSight process data consists of four bytes of data containing multiple
parameters to be presented to the operator. The following process data maps are
offered in the 42EF RightSight:
• Data Map 0 (Default): Triggered, Margin, Proximity, Gain, Signal
• Data Map 1: Triggered, Margin, Proximity, Gain, Contrast, Temp
• Data Map 2: Triggered, Margin, Proximity, Gain, Count
• Data Map 3: Triggered, Margin, Proximity, Gain, Duration
Triggered: Displays the status of the sensor output. This process data element is
a bit that indicates when the target has been detected or not.
