## 1.2 Product Overview 

The B25 is an industrial retroreflective sensor that utilizes a 25 mm wide beam to reliably detect targets. 

The wide beam is capable of detecting targets as small as 3 mm anywhere within the 25 mm beam. This is vital for leading edge applications which include targets that may have an inconsistent edge, such as mailers or polybags. Targets with folded edges, holes, or open flaps are consistently detected when other sensors would chatter with these types of targets. Configure the sensor with a simple push button and the LED indicators on the back of the housing, with a remote input wire, or with IO-

Product Description 

Link. The multi-channel cable routing on the bottom cleanly routes the cable away from the sensor, regardless of how the sensor is mounted. 

Use "Configuration Instructions" on page 6 to set up the sensor. A sensor is in standard sensitivity by default, and the output switches when the LED next to the "Stnd" marking on the sensor turns off. 

## 1.3 Features and Indicators 

Figure 1. Features 

1. Green Power Indicator 

2. Amber Output Status Indicator 

3. TEACH Button 

4. Bar Graph 

The bar graph represents several functions. During Run mode, it shows how much light is being blocked. During sensor configuration, it shows the current setup or options, depending on the step being performed. 

In Run mode, press the TEACH button one time to view the current sensor settings. For example, if the bar graph shows the following: 

1. LO/DO LED bar = On 

2. High LED bar = Off 

3. Unnamed LED bar = Off 

4. Stnd LED bar = On 

5. Unnamed LED bar = Off 

6. Low LED bar = Off 

7. Delay LED bar = Off 

then the sensor is set to light operate, standard sensitivity, and has no active delay (see "Figure: Features" on page 4).

Configuration Instructions 

## 3.3.1 Static TEACH 

Use the following procedure to statically configure the sensor. 

The Static TEACH method configures the sensor to detect beam blockage in excess of the taught condition. For example, if the sensor is above a surface and is taught with no part of the beam blocked, then the sensor will detect when a large enough object is present anywhere in the beam. 

Alternatively, if the sensor is mounted slightly below the plane of a surface, some of the beam will be blocked by the surface. Teaching the sensor in this setup sets the threshold of the sensor so that the surface is accounted for, and additional beam blockage from objects on the surface will be detected. 

If the sensor is taught with a surface present (part of the beam is blocked) and then the sensor is moved so that no part of the beam is blocked, the sensor will only detect when light equivalent to the taught condition (the surface) plus a minimum object is subsequently blocked. 

1. Make sure the sensor is properly aligned with the retroreflector. 

2. Enter configuration mode.

## 3.3.2 Dynamic TEACH 

Use the following procedure to dynamically configure the sensor. 

When using the Dynamic TEACH method, the sensor learns during actual sensing conditions, taking multiple samples and automatically setting the threshold at the optimum level. This is the recommended TEACH method for most applications. 

Using the Dynamic TEACH method is an effective way to account for most belt flutter, seams, or other undesirable targets within the sensing beam. The Dynamic TEACH method sets the sensor threshold to ignore most belt imperfections and reduces the likelihood of false detections. 

To cancel, press and hold the button or the remote input for two seconds during the process. 

1. Make sure the sensor is properly aligned with the retroreflector. 

2. Enter configuration mode. 

Method Action Result Push Button Press and hold the TEACH button for 2 seconds. The green (power) LED flashes. Remote Input Pulse the remote input once. 

3. Start the dynamic TEACH.

## 3.3.7 Enable or Disable the Drift Filter 

Use the following procedure to enable or disable the drift filter. 

The drift filter allows the sensor to compensate, within its limits, for environmental changes, such as dust accumulation or temperature variations. If the sensor sees light blocked for a period of time without reaching the detection threshold, it automatically adjusts to maintain the ability to detect targets. If enough light is blocked for detection to occur, the sensor does not compensate for what is present in the beam. 

The default is enabled.

Each IO-Link device has an IODD (IO Device Description) file that contains information about the manufacturer, article number, functionality etc. This information can be easily read and processed by the user. Each device can be unambiguously identified via the IODD as well as via an internal device ID. Download the B25's IO-Link IODD package (p/n 242307) from Banner Engineering's website at www.bannerengineering.com. 

Banner has also developed Add On Instruction (AOI) files to simplify ease-of-use between the B25, multiple third-party vendors' IO-Link masters, and the Logix Designer software package for Rockwell Automation PLCs. Three types of AOI files for Rockwell Allen-Bradley PLCs are listed below. These files and more information can be found at www.bannerengineering.com. 

Process Data AOIs —These files can be used alone, without the need for any other IO-Link AOIs. The job of a Process Data AOI is to intelligently parse out the Process Data word(s) in separate pieces of information. All that is required to make use of this AOI is an EtherNet/IP connection to the IO-Link Master and knowledge of where the Process Data registers are located for each port. 

Parameter Data AOIs —These files require the use of an associated IO-Link Master AOI. The job of a Parameter Data AOI, when working in conjunction with the IO-Link Master AOI, is to provide quasi-realtime read/write access to all IO-Link parameter data in the sensor. Each Parameter Data AOI is specific to a given sensor or device. 

IO-Link Master AOIs —These files require the use of one or more associated Parameter Data AOIs. The job of an IO-Link Master AOI is to translate the desired IO-Link read/write requests, made by the Parameter Data AOI, into the format a specific IO-Link Master requires. Each IO-Link Master AOI is customized for a given brand of IO-Link Master. 

Add and configure the relevant Banner IO-Link Master AOI in your ladder logic program first; then add and configure Banner IO-Link Device AOIs as desired, linking them to the Master AOI as shown in the relevant AOI documentation.

## 7.2 Troubleshooting 

If the configuration is not accepted during a TEACH procedure (the amber LED flashes three times), see the following possible reasons why. 

During a Static TEACH: Not enough returned light results in the configuration not being accepted. For example, the reflector is not in place. 

During a Dynamic TEACH: 

- Not enough returned light at the start of the TEACH process causes the configuration to be rejected immediately. For example, not having a reflector in place. 

- If the TEACH process starts with the reflector in place, but then too much light is blocked, the configuration will not be accepted. For example, starting the TEACH process, removing the reflector and returning it, and then completing the TEACH process. 

## 7.3 Clean Sensor with Compressed Air and Lint-Free Cloth 

Handle the sensor with care during installation and operation. Sensor windows soiled by fingerprints, dust, water, oil, etc. may create stray light that may degrade the peak performance of the sensor. Blow dust from the sensor using filtered, compressed air, then clean as necessary using a lint-free cloth.
