    System Description 1.2 System Features Built-in features simplify the operation of the A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY System. Emitters and receivers, available in a choice of two resolutions and 10 lengths, provide the right size and precision needed for many applications. Programmable beam blanking accommodates machine components or other fixtures that must remain in or move through the light screen.

    Sensors connect to controller using 5-conductor quick-disconnect cables (one each for emitter and Connections receiver), ordered separately; see page 5 for available lengths. Use only Banner cables, which incorporate a “twisted pair” for noise immunity. Cables measure 8.1 mm (0.32") dia. and are shielded and PVC-jacketed.

    3. Installation and Mechanical Alignment 3.1 Emitter and Receiver Mounting Banner MINI-ARRAY emitters and receivers are small, lightweight, and easy to mount; the mounting brackets (supplied) allow ±30 degrees rotation. From a common point of reference, make measurements to position the emitter and receiver in the same plane with their midpoints directly opposite each other.
  • Page 15: Control Module Mounting

    Installation and Mechanical Alignment Mount the emitter and receiver in their brackets and position the red lenses of the two units so they directly face each other. The connector ends of both sensors must point in the same direction. Measure from one or more reference planes (e.g. the building floor) to the same point(s) on the emitter and receiver to verify their mechanical alignment.
  • Page 16: Hookups

    Installation and Mechanical Alignment 3.3 Hookups Connections are made to the MACNXDN-1 and MACPXDN-1 control modules via 20 wiring terminals located along the front surface of the module. Refer to Figures 3-3 and 3-4 for the appropriate hookup information. NOTE: The controller must be powered up before the DeviceNet connection in every power-up situation, for proper operation.

    System Diagnostics 5. System Diagnostics System diagnostics may be performed using the status and diagnostics indicators on the control module and sensors. 5.1 Diagnostics/Status Indicators NOTE: Status indicators appear to “freeze” if the controller is configured for Gate or Host mode (Section 4.4), and no signal is present to cause a scan update.
