Description

Q45XDN Series sensors are designed specifically for use on DeviceNet-bus
networks. These are “smart” sensors which can be wired to a DeviceNet bus using
a “dumb” tee.

Q45XDN1 models support the Bit Strobe Connection, which responds to a master’s
request. Q45XDN2 models support the Change of State Connection, which responds
to a slave’s change of state. All models support the Explicit Message Connection,
which is required to Set and Get sensor Attributes.

Q45XDN Series sensors feature two highly-visible sensor status indicator LEDs for
power and received signal strength. The Signal indicator incorporates Banner’s
patented

Alignment Indicating Device (AID

) circuitry which pulses the indicator at a

rate which is proportional to the received light signal strength. A slow flash rate alerts
personnel to a marginal signal due to sensor misalignment or dirt on the lenses.

Q45XDN Series photoelectric sensors have impressive optical performance (see
excess gain curves on pp. 2 - 4). All models boast o-ring sealing which exceeds the
NEMA 6P (IP67) rating. They are extremely rugged, with PBT polyester housings and
molded acrylic lenses. They are equipped with a 12 mm Euro-style quick-disconnect
connector which accepts DeviceNet-compatible cable (see Hookup Information).

WARNING . . .

Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.

This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety

applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your
current Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
