## Output (out1 and out2) The Output 1 and Output 2 menus differ between Channel 1 and Channel 2. NOTE: The number that follows out on the display indicates which channel is selected. The Output 1 menu is available in Channel 1. Use this menu to select light operate (LO) or dark operate (DO). The default output configuration is light operate. To switch between light operate and dark operate, select the desired menu option. - —Light operate - —Dark operate The Output 2 menu is available in Channel 2. Use this menu to set the output configuration for Channel 2. The default is light operate. - —Light operate - —Dark operate 10-Sep-25 © Banner Engineering Corp. All rights reserved. www.bannerengineering.com page 19 of 53 Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IOLink Product Manual Sensor Programming - —Complementary to output 1 - —Remote TEACH input - —Laser off when pulled high - —Laser on when pulled high - —Master sync line output for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance - —Slave sync line output for two-sensor cross-talk avoidance - —Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) output (see "Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Output (PULS)" on - page 38) To configure the sensor for master-slave operation, see "Sync Master/Slave " on page 38. ## TEACH Mode (tch1 and tch2) Use this menu to select the TEACH mode. The default is two-point TEACH. For Channel 2, this menu is available when the output is set to light operate or dark operate. NOTE: The number that follows tch on the display indicates which channel is selected. - —Two-point static background suppression - —Dynamic background suppression - —One-point window (foreground suppression) - —One-point background suppression - —Dual (intensity + distance) window After the TEACH mode is selected, from Run mode, press and hold TEACH for longer than 2 seconds to start the TEACH mode and program the sensor. See "TEACH Procedures " on page 29 for additional information and remote input TEACH instructions. ## Adaptive Tracking (trc1 and trc2) In adaptive tracking mode, the laser intensity changes to compensate for a loss in excess gain - normally caused by a dirty lens When operating in dual mode, the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm adjusts the switching thresholds (distance and intensity) around a taught reference surface. Adaptive tracking adjusts for small variations in the reference surface to maintain a consistent 100P (100%) on the display and to ensure reliable detection. The Adaptive Tracking menu is only available when Teach Ch1 is set to Dual Mode. Adjustment of the thresholds only occurs when the reference surface is visible to the sensor (that is, no target is present). The Adaptive Tracking Algorithm can reduce or eliminate the need to periodically re-teach the sensor as environmental conditions change around the sensor. Enable or disable the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm from the sensor menu. The appropriate speed depends on the application. This menu is available only if dual (intensity + distance) mode is selected. For Channel 2, the output must be set to light operate or dark operate. NOTE: The number that follows trc on the display indicates which channel is selected. - —High-Speed Adaptive Tracking On - —Adaptive Tracking On (default) - —Adaptive Tracking Off OFF disables the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm —Prevents the sensor from adjusting the thresholds around the taught reference surface while the sensor is in dual mode. The sensor will not adapt to or learn any target. Environmental changes may cause the displayed value to deviate from 100P (100%) over time. A periodic re-teach of the reference surface may be required to restore the displayed value to 100P if this is important to the application. page 20 of 53 © Banner Engineering Corp. All rights reserved. www.bannerengineering.com 10-Sep-25 Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IOLink Product Manual Sensor Programming There are some cases in which disabling adaptive tracking is useful. For example, disable adaptive tracking if the target passes very slowly through the sensing beam, if the target might stop while partially blocking the beam, and if the environmental conditions are stable. ON enables the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm at the standard speed —Recommended for many applications detecting lowcontrast targets. Standard adaptive tracking adjusts the thresholds around slowly changing background and environmental conditions. It adjusts the sensor for stable detection when the environment changes due to gradual dust accumulation, machine vibration, or ambient temperature changes which influence the signal from the reference surface. Standard adaptive tracking will not easily adapt to or learn slow-moving, low-contrast targets (for example, clear targets entering and exiting the beam over approximately 2 seconds). HS enables the Adaptive Tracking Algorithm at high speed —Optional adaptive tracking setting used with dual mode. Use high-speed adaptive tracking when the signal from the reference surface changes quickly due to unstable environmental conditions and high contrast and high-speed targets are being detected. High-speed adaptive tracking adjusts the sensor for stable detection in challenging environmental conditions such as dust accumulation, machine vibration, ambient temperature changes, or a non-stable reference surface (for example, a running belt or web that influences the signal from the reference surface). For example, if the signal from the reference surface changes by 10% due to environmental effects, high-speed adaptive tracking adjusts the displayed value back to 100P (100%) over 2 to 3 seconds. High-speed adaptive tracking addresses certain applications where the reference surface is unstable, but the sensor must detect high-speed and high-contrast targets reliably. With high-speed adaptive tracking, there is the potential for the sensor to adapt the thresholds to slow-moving or low-contrast targets, leading to missed detection events. If the detection events are generating small signal changes of similar magnitude to the background changes, detection problems are likely. Stabilize the reference surface to avoid this problem. ## Window Size (ūnd1, ūnd2) This menu is available only if one-point window (foreground suppression) mode is selected. The default selection is Auto, where the FGS window size is automatically calculated. This menu can be used to manually set a window size. See the following table for the window size range: **==> picture [500 x 70] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
Window Size Models
0.1 mm to 75 mm 100 mm and 110 mm models
0.2 mm to 275 mm 300 mm and 310 mm models
0.2 mm to 575 mm 600 mm and 610 mm models
**----- End of picture text -----**
This setting is automatically applied during any subsequent teach operation. The window size value represents a +/- mm value, so the total window size is twice this value. For example, a window set of 10 mm gives a 20 mm window centered around the taught point. The window size can also be changed directly from Run mode after changing the setting to any value except Auto. For Channel 2, the output must be set to light operate or dark operate. ## Response Speed (SPd)—100/110/300/310 mm Models Use this menu to select the response speed. The default is 10 milliseconds. - —1.5 milliseconds - —3 milliseconds - —10 milliseconds - —25 milliseconds - —50 milliseconds ## Tradeoffs **==> picture [500 x 91] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

For Channel 2, the output must be set to light operate or dark operate. NOTE: The number that follows ofS on the display indicates which channel is selected. The offset is automatically calculated or manually defined as a consistently applied value. Auto is the default option. Use +/to select a value. Values increase or decrease by 0.1 mm (100/110 mm models) or 0.2 mm (300/310/600/610 mm models). For BGS mode, the default is Auto because the Q4X automatically selects where to position the switch point. For FGS mode, the default is 0 because the window is centered around the taught target. A positive offset value always shifts the switch point location or the FGS window towards the sensor. The taught surface must be inside of the defined sensing range. When the teach mode is set to FGS, some portion of the window must be located within the sensing range. When the teach mode is set to BGS, the offset value must be within the defined sensing range. If an offset value falls outside of the sensing range, a message displays. See the applicable TEACH procedure for more information. 10-Sep-25 © Banner Engineering Corp.

## Manual Adjustments Manually adjust the sensor switch point using the + and - buttons. 1. From Run mode, press either + or - one time. The selected channel displays briefly, then the current switch point value flashes slowly. 2. Press + to move the switch point up or - to move the switch point down. After 1 second of inactivity, the new switch point value flashes rapidly, the new setting is accepted, and the sensor returns to Run mode. NOTE: When FGS mode is selected (FGS indicator is on), manual adjustment moves both sides of the symmetrical threshold window simultaneously, expanding and collapsing the window size. Manual adjustment does not move the center point of the window. page 26 of 53 © Banner Engineering Corp. All rights reserved. www.bannerengineering.com 10-Sep-25 Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IOLink Product Manual Sensor Programming NOTE: When dual mode is selected (DYN, FGS, and BGS indicators are on), after the TEACH process is completed, use the manual adjustment to adjust the sensitivity of the thresholds around the taught reference point. The taught reference point is a combination of the measured distance and returned signal intensity from the reference target. Manual adjustment does not move the taught reference point, but pressing + increases the sensitivity, and pressing - decreases the sensitivity. When re-positioning the sensor or changing the reference target, re-teach the sensor. ## Remote Input Use the remote input to program the sensor remotely. Remote input is available from the Channel 2 menu. Set Out2 to Set . The remote input provides limited programming options and is Active high. For Active high, connect the white input wire to 24 V DC, with a remote switch connected between the wire and ground. Pulse the remote input according to the diagram and the instructions provided in this manual. The length of the individual programming pulses is equal to the value T: 0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds . Exit remote programming modes by setting the remote input high for longer than 2 seconds. ## Remote Input Map **==> picture [345 x 268] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Output (PULS) The Q4X can generate pulses whose frequency are proportional to the sensor's measured distance, thereby providing a method for representing an analog signal with only a discrete counter. The sensing range of the sensor is scaled from 100 Hz to 600 Hz (100 Hz equals the near range limit of the sensor, 600 Hz equals the far sensing range limit). An output of 50 Hz represents a Loss of Signal ( LOS ) condition where there is no target or the target is out of the sensor's range. There is a 2 second delay before the sensor sets the output to 50 Hz to indicate loss of signal. During the 2 seconds, the output will hold the last PFM value. To find the Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Output, set out2 to PULS . ## Sync Master/Slave Two Q4X sensors may be used together in a single sensing application. To eliminate crosstalk between the two sensors, configure one sensor to be the master and one to be the slave. In this mode, the sensors alternate taking measurements and the response speed doubles. IMPORTANT: The master sensor and the slave sensor must be programmed for the same Response Speed and Gain and Sensitivity settings. The master sensor and slave sensor must share a common power source. 1. Configure the first sensor as the master; navigate to: out2 › nASt . 2. Configure the second sensor as the slave; navigate: out2 › SLUE . 3. Connect the white wires of the two sensors together. page 38 of 53 © Banner Engineering Corp.

Use IO-Link to parameterize sensors and transmit process data automatically. For the latest IO-Link protocol and specifications, see www.io-link.com. 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 Q4X's IO-Link IODD package (p/n 196929) 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 Q4X, 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. > (4) IO-Link® is a registered trademark of PROFIBUS Nutzerorganisation e.V. 10-Sep-25 © Banner Engineering Corp.

Dual TEACH mode, dual intensity + distance window, expands the applications the Q4X can solve by combining distance-based detection with light intensity thresholds. In dual TEACH mode, the user teaches the Q4X a fixed reference surface, and the sensor compares intensity and distance readings against the reference surface it was taught. After teaching the reference target, the displayed value is calibrated to 100P, or a 100% match. When an object enters the sensor’s field of view, the degree of consistency with the reference surface becomes lower and causes a change in sensor output. In dual mode, you can detect when the target is present at the right distance and when it returns the right amount of light. This is useful in error-proofing applications where you need to know not only that the part is present (distance), but also that it is the correct part (intensity). In dual mode, the Q4X requires a reference surface (far left). Once taught, the distance and intensity of the reference surface are recorded and used as a baseline. A user-adjustable switching threshold is set, and changes in distance and/or intensity outside the switching threshold creates a sensor output change. The example in "Figure: Dual Mode Example" on page 40 uses a 90% (90P) match condition with a 10% change in intensity and/or distance from the reference surface required to change the output state. The default-switching threshold is a 75% match to the reference condition (75P); this sets the threshold 25% from the distance and intensity of the reference surface. A transparent object can be detected either by a change in intensity, distance, or by a double peak reflection (far right). When a double peak reflection is detected, the display alternates between and the percent match. **==> picture [494 x 131] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

The Q4X sensor can be taught non-ideal reference surfaces, such as surfaces outside of the sensor’s range, very dark surfaces, or even empty space. These situations may enable applications requiring a long range detection but are subject to typical diffuse mode detection challenges. ## Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations Optimize reliable detection by applying these principals when selecting your reference surface, positioning your sensor relative to the reference surface, and presenting your target. The robust detection capabilities of the Q4X allows successful detection even under non-ideal conditions in many cases. Typical reference surfaces are metal machine frames, conveyor side rails, or mounted plastic targets. Contact Banner Engineering if you require assistance setting up a stable reference surface in your application. 1. Select a reference surface with these characteristics where possible: - Matte or diffuse surface finish 10-Sep-25 © Banner Engineering Corp. All rights reserved. www.bannerengineering.com page 40 of 53 Q4X Stainless Steel Laser Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IOLink Product Manual Additional Information - Fixed surface with no vibration - Dry surface with no build-up of oil, water, or dust 2. Position the reference surface between 50 mm and the maximum sensing range for threaded barrel models or between 60 mm and the maximum sensing range for flush mount models. 3. Position the target to be detected as close to the sensor as possible, and as far away from the reference surface as possible. 4. Angle the sensing beam relative to the target and relative to the reference surface 10 degrees or more. ## Dual Mode Considerations for Clear and Transparent Object Detection The Q4X is able to detect the very small changes caused by transparent and clear objects. A transparent object can be detected either by a change in intensity, distance, or by a double-peak reflection. The Q4X sensor can be taught non-ideal reference surfaces, such as surfaces outside of the sensor range or very dark surfaces. Teaching non-ideal reference surfaces may enable applications other than transparent or clear object detection, but best results for transparent or clear object detection require a stable reference surface. The display shows the match percentage to the taught reference point. The user adjustable switch point defines the sensitivity and the output switches when the match percentage to the reference point crosses the switch point. Your specific application may require fine tuning of the switch point, but these values are the recommended starting values: **==> picture [384 x 289] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
