Appendix A: Glossary
Blanked Beam: A beam that is “ignored” by the receiver, as the result of a blanking program being applied to it. Beams (or groups
of beams) are blanked when a component or fixture will remain in or move through the light screen array; blanking the affected
beams prevents the component or fixture from causing false outputs.
Blocked Beam: A beam that is obstructed between the emitter and the receiver, and is not blanked.
Clear Beam: A beam that runs unobstructed from the emitter to the receiver (same as a made or unblocked beam).
Excess Gain: A measurement of the amount of light falling on the receiver from the emitter over and above the minimum amount
required for operation. A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY emitters and receivers automatically perform an Alignment procedure to equalize the
amount of excess gain at each element along the array.
Host: A DeviceNet application that controls and receives input from the MINI-ARRAY System.
Made Beam: A beam that runs unobstructed from the emitter to the receiver (same as an unblocked or clear beam).
Unblocked Beam: A beam that runs unobstructed from the emitter to the receiver (same as a made or clear beam).
