T30RW R-GAGE Washdown Radar Sensor Instruction Manual T30RW Overview The T30RW is an industrial radar sensor that uses high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. It detects high- dielectric targets, such as metal or large amounts of water, and lower-dielectric materials, such as wood, rock, or organic material. The sensor can be configured with software, IO-Link, or remote input wires to sense objects up to a specific distance, ignoring objects beyond this distance (background suppression).

50 Hz or 650 Hz (user defined in the software) represents a loss of signal condition where there is no target or the target is out of range. This output can be tied directly to a number of Banner lights for visual feedback without the need for a controller. ...
Master AOI is to translate the desired IO-Link read/write requests, made by the Parameter Data AOI, into the format a specific IO-Link Master requires. Each IO-Link Master AOI is customized for a given brand of IO-Link Master. Add and configure the relevant Banner IO-Link Master AOI in your ladder logic program first; then add and configure Banner IO-Link Device AOIs as desired, linking them to the Master AOI as shown in the relevant AOI documentation. ...

T30RW R-GAGE Washdown Radar Sensor Instruction Manual Analog Teach Modes The default is to teach two separate points. With a positive slope, the first taught point is 4 mA and the second taught point is 20 mA. If the two taught points are within 100 mm or less, the sensor views them as the same point. It considers that point as the 20 mA spot and sets the 4 mA spot at 300 mm. If a taught point is within the dead zone, the sensor sets that point at 300 mm. ...
