*3. Compared with E3X-HD for normal operation processing.
*4. Model with 1 output: 30 μs, model with 2 outputs: 32 μs.
*5. Patent pending” and “Patented” refer to patent status in Japan (as of November 2025).

Ultra-easy

Easily Handle a Wide Range of Applications with the Press of a Single Button

Consistent Settings for All Users Smart Tuning Settings [Patented]*5

E3NX-FA Features 7

Automatic Adjustment to Optimum Incident Level
Wide Light Intensity Adjustment Range from Transparent Objects to Black Workpieces

E3NX-FA Features 8

Wider light intensity adjustment range of 40,000 times (Conventional models*2: 2,000 times) You can automatically adjust the light intensity to an optimum value for stable detection even with saturated or insufficient incident light.
*2. E3X-HD

New Features

New Ways to Use Fiber Sensors with IO-Link

Detect Changes from Stable Operation Smart Verification [Patented]*1

Operation

Detect Parameter Changes and Unintended Operations, Output Alarms. Abnormalities can be detected immediately.

E3NX-FA Features 12

Maintenance/Inspection

With one command, you can check fiber amplifier changes and pinpoint the cause of abnormalities.

E3NX-FA Features 13

IO-Link for batch parameter setup and Incident light level retrieval

Parameter settings that were previously done manually can now be batch-configured via IO-Link, reducing setup work.

E3NX-FA Features 14

Sensor pairing at a glance Find Me

When configured on the amplifier or via IO-Link, the fiber unit’s emitter blinks, making it easy to identify which fiber unit is connected to the amplifier.

E3NX-FA Features 15

Note: The functions described on this page are available only on models E3NX-FA51-IL3 and E3NX-FA54-IL3.

Ultra-reliable

Two Decision Support Functions to Help You

Detect Changes from Stable Operation Smart Verification [Patented]*1

E3NX-FA Features 19

Selecting Fiber Units

Just about anyone can make a quantitative decision without special skills.

E3NX-FA Features 20

Setting Optimum Thresholds and Modes

You can see the passing time and difference in incident levels to facilitate manual setup.

E3NX-FA Features 21

Visual Information for Fast Workpieces Change Finder [Patented]*1

You can confirm changes in displayed values for fast workpieces to accurately set the threshold.

E3NX-FA Features 22

Point
Advanced DPC (Dynamic Power Control) [Patented]*1

Predictive Maintenance to Reduce Downtime

An alarm output*2 has been added to the DPC that automatically compensates differences in the incident level. A maintenance signal is output when the incident level drops due to dirt or vibration for use in predictive maintenance. (We recommend DPC for through-beam or retro-reflective models.)
*2 An alarm output is supported only on models with two outputs.
