WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to seri-

ous 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 ener-

gized or de-energized sensor output condition.

DF-G1 - Expert Dual Display Fiber Amplifier Manual

Overview

The DF-G1 is an easy-to-use, DIN-rail-mountable fiber optic sensor. It provides high-performance sensing in low-contrast applications.

The sensor’s compact housing has dual digital displays (Red/Green) and a bright output LED for easy programming and status monitor-

ing during operation. The sensor features a single discrete output, either NPN or PNP, by model.

The DF-G1 features increased temperature compensation compared with previous fiber optic sensors. An accessory clamp is available to

secure a bank of connected sensors together on a DIN rail (see Accessories on page 27).

Top Panel Interface

Opening the dust cover provides access to the top panel interface. The top panel interface consists of the RUN/PRG/ADJ mode switch,

LO/DO switch, +/SET/- rocker button, dual red/green digital displays, and output LED.

RUN/PRG/ADJ Mode Switch

The RUN/PRG/ADJ mode switch puts the sensor in RUN, PRG (Program), or ADJ (Adjust) mode. RUN mode allows the

sensor to operate normally and prevents unintentional programming changes via the +/SET/- button. PRG mode allows

the sensor to be programmed through the display driven programming menu (see Program Mode on page 3 ). ADJ

mode allows the user to perform Expert TEACH/SET methods and Manual Adjust (see Adjust Mode on page 7 ).

LO/DO Switch

The LO/DO switch is used to select Light Operate or Dark Operate mode. In Light Operate mode, the output is ON when

the sensing condition is above the threshold (for Window SET, the output is ON when the sensing condition is inside the

window). In Dark Operate mode, the output is ON when the sensing condition is below the threshold (for Window SET,

the output is ON when the sensing condition is outside the window).

+/SET/- Rocker Button

The +/SET/- rocker button is a 3-way button. The +/- positions are engaged by rocking the button left/right. The SET

position is engaged by clicking down the button while the rocker is in the middle position. All three button positions are

used during PRG mode to navigate the display driven programming menu. During ADJ mode, SET is used to perform

TEACH/SET methods and +/- are used to manually adjust the threshold(s). The rocker button is disabled during RUN

mode, except when using Window SET, see Window SET on page 11 .

Red/Green Digital Displays

During RUN and ADJ mode, the Red display shows the signal level and the Green display shows the threshold. During

PRG mode, both displays are used to navigate the display driven programming menu.

Output LED

The output LED provides a visible indication when the output is activated.

Run Mode

Run mode allows the sensor to operate normally and prevents unintentional programming changes. The +/SET/- rocker button is disabled

during RUN mode, except when using Window SET, see Window SET on page 11 .

DF-G1 - Expert Dual Display Fiber Amplifier Manual

Program Mode

Program (PRG) mode allows the following settings to be programmed in the DF-G1 (refer to diagrams on pages 6-7 for programming).

TEACH Selection

The DF-G1 can be programmed for one of the following TEACH/SET methods:

•

Two-Point TEACH

Dynamic TEACH

Window SET

Light SET

Dark SET

Calibration SET

NOTE: A TEACH Selection must be selected by programming before TEACH/SET methods can be used.

Response Speed

The DF-G1 can be programmed for one of the following Response Speeds:

Response Speed

200 us (High Speed)

500 us (Standard)

2000 us (Long Range)

5000 us (Extra Long Range)

Display Range

0 - 4000

0 - 9999

Crosstalk Avoidance Algorithm

Disabled

Enabled

Offset Percent

The Offset Percent is used during the Window, Light, or Dark SET methods. The threshold(s) are positioned a programmable % offset

from the taught condition. The allowable range depends upon the Response Speed Mode, as shown below:

Response Speed

200 us (High Speed)

500 us (Standard)

2000 us (Long Range)

5000 us (Extra Long Range)

MIN %

MAX %

999

The offset percent can also be programmed to Minimum Offset. This allows the DF-G1 to set the threshold(s) as close

as possible to the presented condition, but still provide for reliable sensing.

NOTE: Offset Percent MUST be programmed to Minimum Offset for Dark SET to accept conditions of no

signal (0 counts).

Auto Thresholds

Auto Thresholds can be programmed to be ON/OFF. The Auto Thresholds algorithm continuously tracks slow changes in the taught

condition(s), and optimizes the threshold(s) to provide for reliable sensing. For Two-Point and Dynamic TEACH, the algorithm optimizes

the threshold to be centered between the light and dark conditions. For Window, Light, and Dark SET, the algorithm optimizes the thresh-

old(s) to maintain the programmed Offset Percent from the taught condition.

P/N 161999 Rev. - tel: 763-544-31643

DF-G1 - Expert Dual Display Fiber Amplifier Manual

•

After programming Auto Thresholds to ON, it is highly recommended to re-perform the TEACH/SET method

Manual Adjustments are disabled when Auto Thresholds are ON

Auto Thresholds are automatically disabled in Calibration SET (see Calibration SET on page 17)

Severe contamination/changes in the taught condition can prevent the Auto Thresholds algorithm from optimizing the threshold(s). If

this occurs, the DF-G1 will enter a Threshold Alert or Threshold Error state. See Troubleshooting on page 19 for more explana-

tion.

Output

OFF

Delays/Timers

ON/OFF Delays and ON/OFF One-Shot timers

can be programmed between 1 - 9999 ms (a val-

ue of 0 disables the delay/timer). Figure 2 de-

fines how the delays/timers affect the output be-

havior.

Some combinations of delays/timers are not al-

lowed. The DF-G1 programming menu automati-

cally disables invalid combinations of delays/

timers. The following table shows the allowable

combinations of delays/timers:

Display Readout

The readout of the digital displays can be programmed for the following options:

•Signal/Threshold readout - Numeric (1234) or % (123P)

•ECO mode - Enabled or Disabled (ECO mode dims the displays to reduce current consumption)

•Display Orientation - Normal () or Flipped ()

Gain Selection

The DF-G1 can operate in Auto Gain mode or the Gain can be fixed to be in Gain 1…8. In Auto Gain, the DF-G1 optimizes the gain

during a TEACH/SET method for the presented condition(s). While viewing the fixed gains in the Gain Selection choice list, the DF-G1

will automatically switch to the selected gain and display the measured signal on the Red display. This allows for easy and quick evalua-

tion of the fixed gain mode.

Factory Defaults

The Factory Defaults menu allows the DF-G1 to be easily restored back to original factory default settings (see Factory Default Settings

in Specifications on page 20).

Remote Input

The remote input may be used to perform TEACH/SET methods and to program the sensor remotely. Connect the white input wire of the

sensor to ground (0V dc), with a remote switch connected between them. Pulse the remote input according to the diagram shown below

in Figure 6. Follow the instructions in the TEACH/SET sections in Adjust Mode on page 7 to perform a TEACH/SET method.

TEACH methods and remote programming modes may be exited either after a 60-second timeout or by holding the remote input low for >

2 seconds, the sensor will return to RUN mode without saving any new settings.

Adjust Mode

Sliding the RUN/PRG/ADJ mode switch to the ADJ position allows the user to perform Expert TEACH/SET methods and Manual Adjust-

ment of the threshold(s).

Two-Point TEACH

•Establishes a single switching threshold

•Threshold can be adjusted using “+” and “-” rocker button (Manual Adjust)

Two-Point TEACH is used when two conditions can be presented statically to the sensor. The sensor locates a single sensing threshold

(the switchpoint) midway between the two taught conditions, with the Output ON condition on one side, and the Output OFF condition on

the other (see Figure below).

Dynamic TEACH

•Teaches on-the-fly

•Establishes a single switching threshold

•Threshold can be adjusted using “+” and “-” rocker button (Manual Adjust)

Dynamic TEACH is best used when a machine or process may not be stopped for teaching. The sensor learns during actual sensing

conditions, taking multiple samples of the light and dark conditions and automatically setting the threshold at the optimum level (see

Figure below).
