Rockwell Automation 42EF RightSight DeviceNet Photoelectric Sensors - Manual (Page 4)

Configuration
RightSight DeviceNet photoelectric sensors interface directly to the network without the
need for a DeviceLink adaptor. After securing the sensor to a stable surface or
support, it will be necessary to configure some of the parameters shown on Table 2
using a suitable network configuration tool such as the Rockwell DeviceNet Manager.
For remote configuration the DeviceView Hand-Held Configurator (2707--DNC) is
available.
Diagnostic Operation
The RightSight DeviceNet photoelectric sensor provides two independent diagnostic
outputs to indicate an unstable sensing condition. These two diagnostic outputs may be
configured to operate in one of two possible modes. The first, static, is designed for
web sensing or other applications in which an immediate diagnostic output is required.
In this mode, the output bits are triggered whenever an “unstable” signal is detected.
The dynamic operating mode is useful in repetitive applications where targets are
constantly moving into and out of the sensors field of view. In this mode, the output bits
are triggered only after detection of seven successive “unstable” signals. This prevents
“false triggering” caused by the leading and trailing edges of the target.
Table 2 specifies the range of margins defined as unstable for each of the two outputs,
Margin Diagnostic 1 and Margin Diagnostic 2. A third diagnostic output bit is also
provided. This output will be activated when either the Margin 1 or Margin 2 diagnostic,
or the Motion Detect preset values is reached.
