Fixed-Field Mode Overview
T18 Series self-contained fixed-field sensors are small, powerful, infrared diffuse mode sensors with far-limit cutoff (a type of background suppression). Their high excess gain and fixed-field technology allow them to detect objects of low reflectivity, while ignoring background surfaces. The cutoff distance is fixed. Backgrounds and background objects must always be placed beyond the cutoff distance.
Fixed-Field Sensing Theory of Operation

The T18FF compares the reflections of its emitted light beam (E) from an object back to the sensors two differently aimed detectors, R1 and R2 (see Figure 1). If the near detector (R1) light signal is stronger than the far detector (R2) light signal (see object A, closer than the cutoff distance), the sensor responds to the object. If the far detector (R2) light signal is stronger than the near detector (R1) light signal (see object B, beyond the cutoff distance), the sensor ignores the object. The cutoff distance for model T18FF sensors is fixed at 25, 50 or 100 millimeters (1", 2", or 4"). Objects lying beyond the cutoff distance usually are ignored, even if they are highly reflective. However, it is possible to falsely detect a background object, under certain conditions (see Background Reflectivity and Placement). In the drawings and discussion on these pages, the letters E, R1, and R2 identify how the sensors three optical elements (Emitter E, Near Detector R1, and Far Detector R2) line up across the face of the sensor. The location of these elements defines the sensing axis (see Figure 2). The sensing axis becomes important in certain situations, such as those illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.

Sensor Setup
Sensing Reliability
For highest sensitivity, position the target object for sensing at or near the point of maximum excess gain. The excess gain curves for these products are shown on page 5. They show excess gain vs. sensing distance for sensors with 25 mm, 50 mm, and 100 mm (1", 2", and 4") cutoffs. Maximum excess gain for the 25 mm models occurs at a lens-toobject distance of about 7 mm; for 50 mm models, at about 10 mm; and for the 100 mm models, at about 20 mm. Sensing at or near this distance will make maximum use of each sensors available sensing power. The background must be placed beyond the cutoff distance. (Note that the reflectivity of the background surface also may affect the cutoff distance.) Following these two guidelines will improve sensing reliability.
Sensing Axis R1 R2 E
Background Reflectivity and Placement
Avoid mirror-like backgrounds that produce specular reflections. False sensor response will occur if a background surface reflects the sensors light more strongly to the near detector, or sensing detector (R1), than to the far detector, or cutoff detector (R2). The result is a false ON condition (Figure 3). To cure this problem, use a diffusely reflective (matte) background, or angle either the sensor or the background (in any plane) so the background does not reflect light back to the sensor (see Figure 4). Position the background as far beyond the cutoff distance as possible. An object beyond the cutoff distance, either stationary (and when positioned as shown in Figure 5), or moving past the face of the sensor in a direction perpendicular to the sensing axis, can cause unwanted triggering of the sensor if more light is reflected to the near detector than to the far detector. The problem is easily remedied by rotating the sensor 90 (Figure 6). The object then reflects the R1 and R2 fields equally, resulting in no false triggering. A better solution, if possible, may be to reposition the object or the sensor.
As a general rule, the most reliable sensing of an object approaching from the side occurs when the line of approach is parallel to the sensing axis.
Figure 2. Fixed-field sensing axis

Color Sensitivity
The effects of object reflectivity on cutoff distance, though small, may be important for some applications. It is expected that at any given cutoff setting, the actual cutoff distance for lower reflectance targets will be slightly shorter than for higher reflectance targets (see Figure-of-Merit information on page 5). This behavior is known as color sensitivity. For example, an excess gain of 1 (see page 5) for an object that reflects 1/10 as much light as the 90% white card is represented by the horizontal graph line at excess gain = 10. An object of this reflectivity results in a far limit cutoff of approximately 20 mm (0.8"), for the 25 mm (1") cutoff models for example; thus 20 mm represents the cutoff for this sensor and target. These excess gain curves were generated using a white test card of 90% reflectance. Objects with reflectivity of less than 90% reflect less light back to the sensor, and thus require proportionately more excess gain in order to be sensed with the same reliability as more reflective objects. When sensing an object of very low reflectivity, it may be especially important to sense it at or near the distance of maximum excess gain.

EZ-BEAM "S2" Series Sensors

Designed for use on Sensor BUS Networks
Features
Low cost and easy to use; no adjustments are necessary Sensor selection is simply a matter of choosing a housing style and sensing mode Models available for opposed (through-beam), polarized retroreflective, and fixed-field diffuse modes Advanced self-diagnostics with separate alarm output; dual LED system indicates sensor performance Solid-state outputs for direct connection to a BUS system network junction such as a Banner BUS DEPOT 4-pin quick disconnect connector for standard euro-style extension cables Epoxy-encapsulated circuitry; leakproof IP67 (NEMA 6P) rating for harsh sensing environments Brackets available for several mounting options
Description
"S2" Series EZ-BEAM sensors are designed to connect directly to a "smart" BUS system network junction, such as the Banner BUS-DEPOT. S2 Series sensors are internally wired to take advantage of the EZ-BEAM's marginal signal ALARM output. The ALARM output is normally open (N.O.) and conducts whenever the sensor's excess gain drops to between 1X and 1.5X in the light condition. The sensing signal output is also normally open, which means that the output conducts when light is sensed (i.e. - light operate). In order to take advantage of the second ALARM output, S2 sensors require the use of BUS DEPOT junctions which offer two channels per input. Both sensor outputs are PNP (current sourcing) for direct connection to a BUS network junction using standard 4-pin euro-style extension cables. S2 Series sensors offer all of the features and powerful sensing performance that EZBEAMs offer. The innovative dual-indicator system takes the guesswork out of sensor performance monitoring. Housings are tightly sealed and the sensor circuitry is epoxy-encapsulated for reliable duty in wet or oily sensing environments. Models are available for opposed (through-beam), polarized retroreflective and fixed-field diffuse sensing (see chart on page 2, for available ranges). As the chart on page 2 shows, there are three basic housing styles. The "S" style is a threaded barrel which is available in 18 mm or 30 mm diameters. The "Q" style offers either 25 mm or 40 mm right-angle rectangular housings. Finally, the "T" style is a patented right-angle design available with either an 18 mm or 30 mm threaded lens. The "T" style combines the mounting ease of a barrel sensor with the low-profile advantage of a right-angle design. Several mounting options are offered, including angled brackets and split-clamp brackets. S2 series sensors may also be simply mounted through suitable clearance holes. See page 7 for more information.

Description
T18XDN Series EZ-BEAM sensors are designed specifically for use on DeviceNet Bus Networks. These are smart sensors which can be wired directly to a DeviceNet bus using a dumb tee. T18XDN Series sensors offer all of the features and powerful sensing performance that EZ-BEAMs offer. The innovative dual-indicator system takes the guesswork out of sensor performance monitoring. Housings are tightly sealed and the sensor circuitry is epoxy-encapsulated for reliable duty in wet or oily sensing environments. Models are available for opposed (through-beam), retroreflective, polarized retroreflective, diffuse and fixed-field sensing. Several mounting options are offered, including angled brackets and split-clamp brackets. T18XDN series sensors may also be simply mounted through suitable clearance holes. See page 5 for more information.

Action
18,1,0,0,0,0 These six bytes indicate that this is a single point binary input with the input variable at Attribute #18. Always returns 0. This indicates that this device automatically determines the correct baud rate for communication. Indicates type of device in terms of the SDS protocol. This is presented as 4 X 8 bit words: 01.01.01.05 hex.
Vendor Identification Number 50 decimal. Device Address This variable indicates the network address of the device 0-125. It is the logical SDS address minus 1. If the SDS address of this device is 1 this attribute will be 0. Default value is 125 decimal. This attribute is stored in non-volatile memory. Setting this bit allows the device to send I/O event driven messages. These event messages include: COS ON, COS OFF, WRITE ON, WRITE OFF. If this bit is cleared, then only the error event (event 0) is generated. All other events will be disabled. This attribute is stored in nonvolatile memory. ASCII character string XXXXX-X.X The Diagnostic Error Counter indicates the number of error flags that are currently set in attribute #9. The possible values of this counter are 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. This is a 2 byte read or write register. When an error occurs, the corresponding bit is set.

Description
Action
This is used primarily during Autobaud and to solicit a response from another node to verify bus integrity. No action is performed by our device. There are two methods to change the address. If the message contains one or two data bytes, the address is changed to the address defined by the first byte. The second byte is ignored. If the message contains eight data bytes, then bytes 3 and 4 are checked against the Vendor ID. Bytes 5-8 are checked against the Serial Number. If the Vendor ID and Serial Number are correct, then byte 1 is used to determine the new address. If either is not correct, the message is ignored. This action initiates a self test sequence internal to the node. This action is acknowledged prior to the start of the self test. An Event ID 0 is then transmitted only if internal errors are found. This action clears the error flags in both bytes of attribute #9, Bus Diagnostic Register. Enroll returns a 6 byte message. The first four data bytes are the Serial Number and the remaining two bytes are the Vendor Identification Number. The firmware waits for a random delay, up to 10 ms, before responding to this action. This delay makes it possible to detect multiple devices with the same logical address. This forces the logical state of the Input, Attribute #18. The data contains a Boolean single byte: 00 or 01. This function removes the forced state, and restores normal operation.

WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death. These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their 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.

Fixed-Field Mode Overview
T18 Series self-contained fixed-field sensors are small, powerful, infrared diffuse mode sensors with far-limit cutoff (a type of background suppression). Their high excess gain and fixed-field technology allow them to detect objects of low reflectivity, while ignoring background surfaces. The cutoff distance is fixed. Backgrounds and background objects must always be placed beyond the cutoff distance.
Fixed-Field Sensing Theory of Operation
The T18FF compares the reflections of its emitted light beam (E) from an object back to the sensors two differently aimed detectors, R1 and R2 (see Figure 1). If the near detector (R1) light signal is stronger than the far detector (R2) light signal (see object A, closer than the cutoff distance), the sensor responds to the object. If the far detector (R2) light signal is stronger than the near detector (R1) light signal (see object B, beyond the cutoff distance), the sensor ignores the object. The cutoff distance for model T18FF sensors is fixed at 25, 50 or 100 millimeters (1", 2", or 4"). Objects lying beyond the cutoff distance usually are ignored, even if they are highly reflective. However, it is possible to falsely detect a background object, under certain conditions (see Background Reflectivity and Placement). In the drawings and discussion on these pages, the letters E, R1, and R2 identify how the sensors three optical elements (Emitter E, Near Detector R1, and Far Detector R2) line up across the face of the sensor. The location of these elements defines the sensing axis (see Figure 2). The sensing axis becomes important in certain situations, such as those illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.

Sensor Setup
Sensing Reliability
For highest sensitivity, position the target object for sensing at or near the point of maximum excess gain. Excess gain curves for these products are shown on page 5. They show excess gain vs. sensing distance for sensors with 25 mm, 50 mm, and 100 mm (1", 2", and 4") cutoffs. Maximum excess gain for the 25 mm models occurs at a lens-to-object distance of about 7 mm; for the 50 mm models, at about 10 mm; and for the 100 mm models, at about 20 mm. Sensing at or near this distance will make maximum use of each sensors available sensing power. The background must be placed beyond the cutoff distance. (Note that the reflectivity of the background surface also may affect the cutoff distance.) Following these two guidelines will improve sensing reliability.
Sensing Axis R1 R2 E
Background Reflectivity and Placement
Avoid mirror-like backgrounds that produce specular reflections. False sensor response will occur if a background surface reflects the sensors light more strongly to the near detector, or sensing detector (R1), than to the far detector, or cutoff detector (R2). The result is a false ON condition (Figure 3). To cure this problem, use a diffusely reflective (matte) background, or angle either the sensor or the background (in any plane) so the background does not reflect light back to the sensor (see Figure 4). Position the background as far beyond the cutoff distance as possible. An object beyond the cutoff distance, either stationary (and when positioned as shown in Figure 5), or moving past the face of the sensor in a direction perpendicular to the sensing axis, can cause unwanted sensor triggering if more light is reflected to the near detector than to the far detector. The problem is easily remedied by rotating the sensor 90 (Figure 6). The object then reflects the R1 and R2 fields equally, resulting in no false triggering. A better solution, if possible, may be to reposition the object or the sensor.
As a general rule, the most reliable sensing of an object approaching from the side occurs when the line of approach is parallel to the sensing axis.
Figure 2. Fixed-field sensing axis

Color Sensitivity
The effects of object reflectivity on cutoff distance, though small, may be important for some applications. It is expected that at any given cutoff setting, the actual cutoff distance for lower reflectance targets will be slightly shorter than for higher reflectance targets (see Figure-of-Merit information on page 5). This behavior is known as color sensitivity. For example, an excess gain of 1 (see page 5) for an object that reflects 1/10 as much light as the 90% white card is represented by the horizontal graph line at excess gain = 10. An object of this reflectivity results in a far limit cutoff of approximately 20 mm (0.8"), for the 25 mm (1") cutoff model for example; thus 20 mm represents the cutoff for this sensor and target. These excess gain curves were generated using a white test card of 90% reflectance. Objects with reflectivity of less than 90% reflect less light back to the sensor, and thus require proportionately more excess gain in order to be sensed with the same reliability as more reflective objects. When sensing an object of very low reflectivity, it may be especially important to sense it at or near the distance of maximum excess gain.
