Omron ZX-E Series Manual

Smart Sensors (Inductive Displacement Type)
ZX-E Series
Designed to meet your measurement needs
What's innovative about the ZX-E sensor is that the same ampli-
fer unit can be attached to any one of five sensor headds; It's sim-
ply a matter of selecting the sensor head that best suits your
measurement application. And there's total compatibility between
all sensor heads and the amplifier, making maintenance quick
and easy.
Plug & Play Concept
All sensor heads are fully compatible to the amplifier unit and can
be selected based on application. Also for maintenance reason it
is more efficient and cost saving to replace only the sensor head.
Simply Linearity Adjustment
With the ZX-E it is
possible to adjust
the linearity of the
sensor for different
types of metals, fer-
rous and non-fer-
rous. Using Omron's
patented Linearity
Adjustment Function
you can perform a teaching function at 0%, 50% and 100% of the
measurement distance from the object to the sensor head. The
amplifier then confirms the result. This feature greatly reduces
setting time.
ZX-E Series
Smart Sensors that use the eddy current method
are now available. Develop new applications with
sub-micron sensing technology.

Mutual interference prevention function
Up to five sensors
can be combined
very closely together
without any mutual
interference occur-
ring between them.
This is achieved by
placing a calculating
unit (ZX-CAL2) be-
tween each sensor.
With this unique fea-
ture multiple mea-
surements can be
made in a machine or a process.
Smart calculation function
By inserting a 'calcu-
lation unit' (ZX-
CAL2) between two
amplifiers the thick-
ness and difference
measurements are
easily obtained, and
these results will be
displayed on the am-
Calculation unit for thickness-measurement
plifier. This technolo-
gy, patented by Omron, eliminates the need for connecting a
digital panel meter and the troubles one wiring and setting up as-
sociated with it.
