Banner MICRO-AMP Series - Manual (Page 2)

The Banner MICRO-AMP ® System is a family of miniature dc modu-
lated photoelectric amplifiers and logic modules which offer the same
sensing performance as larger, conventional modules. They are the
smallest photoelectric control modules ever built, and can fit easily into
tight areas of machines or control panels. Built around the concept of
an I/O module, they are the perfect photoelectric control device for use
with computers or programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Multiple
modules stack neatly on 1-inch (25mm) centers in PVC mounting
track, taking only a fraction of the control panel space required by
standard photoelectric modules.
Model MA3 is a complete dc-powered modulated amplifier designed
for use with Banner's SP100 Series of miniature remote sensors.
Model MA3-4 is a higher-gain amplifier which is used with Banner's
complement of high-performance modulated remote sensors. Build-
ing-block style control logic may be added to a system with a selection
of MICRO-AMP logic modules.
Model MPC3 is similar to amplifier model MA3, except that it is
specifically designed for PC board mounting in OEM sensing applica-
tions.
MICRO-AMP modules may be mounted and wired using the optional
model RS8 socket (shown in the drawing at right) or they may be
mounted directly to a printed circuit board (see Accessories, p. 20).
