## Datasheet 

Photoelectric sensors with expansion slot for DeviceNet® compatibility 

- Low-cost photoelectric sensors with unique expansion slot to allow instant sensor upgrading at any time 

- • Expansion cards for DeviceNet®[(1)] network interfaces and sensor performance displays • Basic sensor directly interfaces to PLCs, relays, and other logic-level loads 

- Easy "smart sensor" interfacing to data bus network by simply selecting the appropriate plug-in card and cable for the popular bus protocol DeviceNet® 

- • 10 V DC to 30 V DC operation; integral 7/8 in-16UNF quick-disconnect connector • Highly-visible sensor status and performance LEDs • Tough mechanical design withstands 1200 psi washdown 

WARNING: • Do not use this device for personnel protection • Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death. • This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or deenergized (off) output condition.

## Notes regarding hookup to bus network 

The Q45X offers a 5-pin 7/8 in-16UNF quick-disconnect connector, as the standard, so that the proper cable may be selected for the DeviceNet® bus system. Contact your Banner sales engineer for help in selecting the appropriate cable. 

Use of a bus expansion card makes the Q45X a "smart" sensor which can be connected to the DeviceNet® bus network using a simple "dumb drop" junction box or a "T" connector. Plugging a bus expansion card into a sensor automatically converts the basic outputs to the proper protocol for the DeviceNet® bus network. Q45X sensors without bus cards (that is, "dumb sensors") may be added to any bus system via a "smart drop" junction box. Of course, basic Q45X sensors interface directly to PLC DC inputs. The block diagram at the right illustrates how "smart" and "dumb" Q45X sensors can be mixed together on the same bus network.

The same model Q45X "smart" and "dumb" sensors may be mixed on the same bus. 

## Install or Remove a Q45X Series Module 

CAUTION: 

- Shock Hazard 

- • An electrical shock hazard exists inside the device whenever power is applied. Failure to remove power when the device is open could result in injury. • Remove all power to the device (and to the load) whenever the device will be opened. 

NOTE: It is not necessary to remove power to adjust the Sensitivity or Timing controls, as long as the black inner cover remains in place. 

Modules (expansion cards) are installed and removed through the top of the sensor. 

1. Remove power from the sensor and load. 

2. Loosen the top cover screw. 

3. Raise the cover. The cover is hinged at the front. 4. Insert a small screwdriver into one of the slots of the black inner cover, lift up, and remove the black inner cover. 

5. If needed, remove a module. 

   - a. Insert a small, flat blade screwdriver or similar tool into the lift slot on the edge of the module to be removed. 

   - b. Gently pry up to disconnect the card and to raise it until you can grasp it with your fingers. 

   - c. Remove the module. 

6. If needed, insert a module. 

   - a. Insert a module in the expansion slot so that the connector receptacles on the card align with the connector pins inside the sensor. 

   - b. Slide the card down into the slot until the connectors are fully engaged. 

7. Reinstall the black inner cover. 

NOTE: Some expansion cards are supplied with a new (replacement) black inner cover. 

8. Close and secure the top cover. 

9. Reapply power as desired.

## Specifications 

Supply Voltage 10 V DC to 30 V DC (10% maximum ripple), at less than 50 mA (exclusive of load) 

## Output Configuration 

Basic sensor output: Bipolar; one current sinking (NPN) and one current sourcing (PNP) open-collector transistor With optional bus card in expansion slot: Two-wire datacom interface with protocol corresponding to the DeviceNet®[(2)] bus system 

Output Rating 

For basic sensor configuration, no bus card in use: 250 mA maximum (each output) up to 50 °C, derated to 150 mA at 70 °C (derate 5 mA/ °C) 

OFF-state output leakage: < 1 µA 

Output saturation voltage (both outputs) < 1 V at 10 mA and < 2 V at 250 mA 

Both outputs are protected against continuous overload or short circuit when the sensor is in the basic configuration 

Circuitry Protection Protected against reverse polarity and false pulse on power-up. Protected against transient voltages 

> (2) DeviceNet® is a registered trademark of ODVA, Inc. 

## Response Time and Repeatability 

Independent of signal strength. 100 millisecond delay upon power-up (outputs are inactive during this period) Models Q45X6EQ emitter and Q45XB6RQ receiver: Response = 2 ms on/1 ms off and Repeatability = 0.25 ms All other models: Response = 2 ms on/off and Repeatability = 0.5 ms 

Adjustments 

Multi-turn SENSITIVITY control on top of sensor allows precise sensitivity setting (turn clockwise to increase gain). Internal switch selects Light Operate/Dark Operate. With a network card installed, the sensor must be in Light Operate mode. 

Mounting Options Standard industrial limit switch mounting via two #10 (5 mm) screw clearance holes on 30 mm centers. Brackets are available for mounting sensor by its 30 mm threaded base (mounting jam nut is included with sensor). 

## Status Indicators 

Highly visible; located beneath transparent dome on top of the sensor 

Green LED: Power; lights whenever 10 V DC to 30 V DC power is applied, and flashes to indicate output overload or short circuit Red LED: Signal; Patented Alignment Indicating Device (AID™) System pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal. An LED bargraph indicator is available on an optional expansion card for continuous monitoring of signal level and sensing contrast. 

Yellow LED: Load; outputs conducting 

## Construction 

Thermoplastic polyester housing, acrylic lenses, stainless steel hardware, O-ring sealed transparent top cover. Designed to withstand 1200 psi washdown (except cable connection). 

## Required Cable

Q45X Series Sensors 

NOTE: 54.6 mm (2.15 in) is the depth dimension for sensors with the following suffixes: E (emitter), D (short-range diffuse), DL (long-range diffuse), LV (retroreflective), and R (receiver). The sensor depth dimension for other models is as follows: • CV and CV4 (convergent): 61.5 mm (2.42 in) • LP (polarized retroreflective): 56.4 mm (2.30 in) • F (glass fiber optic): 60.5 mm (2.38 in) • FP (plastic fiber optic): 59.8 mm (2.35 in) 

Emitters ("E" model suffix) have the green power status LED only, and no internal adjustments. 

A 30 mm jam nut is supplied for mounting the sensor via its threaded base.
