Use the KV Series to count wafer rings and display the count values.

[Control description]

Count value display

The LV-11/LV-H32 digital fiberoptic sensor counts wafer rings. The count value is displayed on the KV’s
Access Window.

[Wiring example]

24 VDC

The KV Series offers a high-speed scan time that make

full use of the capabilities of the LV Series, a digital
fiberoptic sensor providing high-speed response and a
small beam spot.
Connect the sensor to input 0000 of the KV.
Digital fiberoptic sensor
LV-11 + LV-H32

[Advantages of the LV Series digital fiberoptic sensor]

■ Conventional method
A reflective photoelectric sensor is used for
counting. Malfunctions occur when the gaps
between the wafer rings become narrow. The
sensor should be re-adjusted at changeovers
between 6-inch wafers and 8-inch wafers.
■ Advantages
The LV-H32, a long detecting distance and
small beam spot sensor, is free from
malfunctions. It can count both 6-inch and 8-
inch wafers with the same distance and
sensitivity settings. Re-adjustment is
unnecessary at changeovers.
The amplifier features a digital display and
allows for fine adjustment to obtain optimal
sensitivity easily.

Let’s create a revolution indicator using the frequency counter function of the KV.

[Description of control]

The frequency counter function of the KV

displayed on the built-in Access Window.
The number of revolutions is counted in units
of rpm.

[Wiring example]

The frequency counter function of the KV is fixed at input 0004.

When a rotary encoder is used instead of a sensor, a single

The interrupt input/output function is the best for quickly and accurately controlling the response speed between the
sensor reaction and output, such as for a filling machine or a cutter.

8. Reliable counting of large numbers
Use the KV to count the number of pulses input from an encoder and display it with the KV-D20.

[Control description]

Count the number of output pulses (amount of movement) of the encoder connected to the KV, then display the
count value with the KV-D20. The value is displayed with a positive or negative sign to indicate the direction of
rotation (movement).

[Wiring example]
24 VDC
The 24-bit high-speed counter function of the KV allows for the
counting of large numbers.
Rotary encoder Moreover, the KV features two points of two-phase input with a
maximum response speed of 30 kHz that enables a wider range
of applications.
For high-speed counter CTH0, connect phase A to input 0004
and phase B to input 0006. For CTH1, connect phase A to 0005
and phase B to 0007.

on a mount sheet
Use the KV Series for the positioning of transparent stickers by detecting them.

[Control description]

Detection of
stop position

Use the LV-21/LV-H42 digital fiberoptic sensor to detect the transparent stickers on a mount sheet. The sticker is
stopped at a specified position by controlling the motor.
When the sensor detects the end of the sticker, the KV outputs a motor stop signal immediately.

[Wiring example]
24 VDC Use the KV Series that offers a high-speed scan
time to make full use of the capabilities of the LV
Series, a digital fiberoptic sensor providing high-
speed response and long detecting distance.
Connect the sensor to input 0000 of the KV.
