Connector

Two types of connector are available (side connection or bottom connection).

Connects in series for up to 240 beams.

Series Connection Specifications

Up to 3 Scanners can be connected in series to enable sensing with up to 240 beams.

F3ZN-Feature2

* The response time varies with the length.

Support software for PCs allows functions to be set as desired with programmable I/O.

The statuses of the beams are output in parallel to allow height and area measurement as well as completeness checks.
The total number of interrupted (or incident) beams can be output.
Up to two types of status, such as the number of the highest (or lowest) beam that is interrupted (or ncident), can be simultaneously output using 16 points of programmable I/O (P-I/O).

Beams can be handled in groups of a size selected by the user.
Dropping position inspections and picking checks are possible.
Beams can be divided into as many as 16 groups.

F3ZN-Feature3

Communications (RS-485/RS-232C) with PLCs (Programmable Controllers) are supported.

F3ZN-Feature4

Smarter and easier operation with PC control*, providing the optimum function for your needs.

* "Ascan" (for PCs) function setting support software required for PC integration.

Incident Level Monitoring

Conventional area sensors use ON/OFF control. The Area Scanner facilitates analog monitoring of the incident level and so installation and operating status checks and sensitivity adjustment can be performed simply. There are also features that
allow smoother threshold setting.

F3ZN-Feature5

Scan Monitor

It is possible to keep track of ON/OFF data for all beams, together with times. This allows accurate object comparisons and checks based on a variety of settings.

F3ZN-Feature7

Programmable I/O can be allocated to various measurement processes.
