Banner A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY MAC Series Instruction Manual

Measuring Light Screen System (MAC Series Controllers)
Controller Models MAC-1, MACN-1, MACP-1,
MACV-1, MACI-1, MAC16N-1, MAC16P-1
(See Section 1.1 for additional, model-specific features)
• Measuring Light Screen system for inspection and profiling
applications.
• Modular system with compact controller and a variety of BMEL/
BMRL series MINI-ARRAY emitters and receivers.
• Sensors available with either 9.5 mm (3/8") or 19.1 mm (3/4")
beam spacing and with array lengths from 6" to 4'
(in 6" increments), plus 5' and 6' models.
• Controller is programmable for any one or two of ten
measurement modes (depending on model) and any one of four
scanning modes, using a computer running Windows
Vista, or 7 and the Banner-supplied
• Software is also supplied for display of error analysis (via
controller self-diagnostics) and for sensor alignment.
• System status, including alignment, is displayed via LED
indicators on the controller and on the receivers.
• Controller may be programmed for blanking to ignore activity in
one or two fields along the length of the array.
• Programmable hysteresis at the high and/or low limit of each
measurement area provides smoothing of output response;
also programmable for number of consecutive scans before an
output update.
• Separate gate input (e.g., from a presence sensor) allows control
of scan initiation.
•
Supports serial communication with a computer or PLC via RS-
232C interface; enables a computer or PLC to process scan data
and/or initiate scans; serial data may be either ASCII or binary.
WARNING . . .
!
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A
sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current Banner
Safety Products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
