## **For Safe Laser Use - Class 2 Lasers** 

- Do not stare at the laser. 

- Do not point the laser at a person’s eye. 

- Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical. 

- Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path. 

Class 2 lasers are lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm, where eye protection is normally afforded by aversion responses, including the blink reflex. This reaction may be expected to provide adequate protection under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing. 

Low-power lasers are, by definition, incapable of causing eye injury within the duration of a blink (aversion response) of 0.25 seconds. They also must emit only visible wavelengths (400 to 700 nm). Therefore, an ocular hazard may exist only if individuals overcome their natural aversion to bright light and stare directly into the laser beam.

## 2 Installation 

## 2.1 Sensor Orientation for the Triangulation Models 

Optimize detection reliability and minimum object separation performance with correct sensor-to-target orientation. To ensure reliable detection, orient the sensor as shown in relation to the target to be detected. 

_Figure 6. Optimal Orientation of Target to Sensor_ 

See the following figures for examples of correct and incorrect sensor-to-target orientation as certain placements may pose problems for sensing some targets. The Q5X can be used in the less preferred orientation and at steep angles of incidence and still provide reliable detection performance due to its high excess gain. For the minimum object separation distance required for each case, refer to Performance Curves on page 35.

Q5X Laser Measurement Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link 

## 3.2.1 Output 

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 

- —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 on page 30) 

To configure the sensor for master-slave operation, see Sync Master/Slave on page 30. 

## 3.2.2 TEACH Mode 

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 24 for additional information and remote input TEACH instructions. 

## 3.2.3 Adaptive Tracking 

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 senor (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.

Q5X Laser Measurement Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link 

**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. 

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 low contrast 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 which 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 not stable, 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. 

## 3.2.4 Window Size 

Use this menu to manually set a window size for subsequent TEACH operations. 

This menu is available only if one-point window (foreground suppression) mode is selected. The default selection is Auto, where the foreground suppression (FGS) window size is automatically calculated. 

This setting is automatically applied during any subsequent teach operation. The window size value represents a ±cm value, so the total window size is twice this value. For example, a window set of 10 cm gives a 20 cm 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. 

**Values** : 

2000 mm models: 0.1 cm to 191 cm 5000 mm models: 2 cm to 497 cm 

## 3.2.5 Response Speed 

Use this menu to select the response speed. 

**Default** : 

2000 mm models: 25 ms 5000 mm models: 50 ms

Q5X Laser Measurement Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link 

When one of the timing delay options is chosen, the sensor returns to the Setup menu and additional options become available to set the parameter(s): 

- Lavan —On delay 

- a7 —Off delay 

- 4 / mer —One-shot delay timer 

**Note:** For the one-shot delay timer: 

   - LO = On pulse when a target is detected inside of the switch point(s) 

   - DO = On pulse when a target is detected outside of the switch point(s) 

- 6 / molit —Output duration 

- Pm 6 / Lee —Number of counts before an output change 

## Delay Timers 

Use these menus to set the delay timers. 

These menus are available only if an output timing delay is selected. 

For Lavan and ma he , the default is 0. 

For Dor 4 , the default is 10 milliseconds for all response speeds 

Use ww and © to scroll through the values. Millisecond values do not include the decimal point; seconds values include the decimal point. 

- 1 to 999 ms (when Gor 4 is selected, the 1 to 9 ms range is available for 3 and 5 ms response times) 

- 1.0 to 90.0 s 

## Totalizer 

The totalizer function changes the output only after counting a designated number of targets. 

After selecting this function, 6 or fel become available to define the output duration and mr 6 or Leese to define required number of counts before the output changes. 

For 6 and mere , the default is 1 count and the maximum is 9999 counts. 

For and , the default is 10 milliseconds. Use and to scroll through the values. Values in millisecond do not include the decimal point; values in seconds include the decimal point. 

- 1 to 999 ms (when 6 or oli is selected, the 1 to 9 ms range is available for 1.5, 2, 3, and 5 ms response times) 

- 1.0 to 90.0 s 

From Run mode, press **SELECT** to change the display to show the current totalizer count. Pressing **SELECT** again changes the display back to the measured distance. 

The totalizer count automatically resets after re-teaching the switch point distance or turning the sensor off. 

## 3.2.8 Hysteresis ¢ and 

Use this menu to set the hysteresis distance around the switch point. 

- Moorim —The sensor automatically selects a recommended minimum hysteresis distance relative to the current 

- switch point distance, 

- to Tene —Enter a user-selectable value (cm) of hysteresis distance relative to the current switch point distance.

**==> picture [71 x 34] intentionally omitted <==**

**Note:** Smaller hysteresis values cause the output to switch state with less differential travel. A larger hysteresis value makes the output state to remain unchanged with larger differential travel. Negative hysteresis values allow the operator to move the hysteresis to either side of the switch point. 

## 3.2.9 Zero Reference Location 

Use this menu to select the zero reference location. Changing the zero reference location only affects the readout on the display and does not affect the output. 

The default is , 0 = the front of the sensor. This menu is not available in dual (intensity + distance) mode. 

—0 is the front of the sensor and the measurement increases further from the sensor. 

—0 is the maximum range and the measurement increases closer to the sensor.

Q5X Laser Measurement Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link 

## 3.2.10 Shift the Zero Reference Location after a TEACH 

Use this menu to select whether the sensor shifts the zero reference location based on the last TEACH process. 

The default is , 0 = the front of the sensor or the maximum range. This menu is not available in dual (intensity + distance) mode. 

- —Shift the zero reference location to one of the taught positions with each TEACH 

- —0 = the front of the sensor or the maximum range, depending on the setting 

This figure illustrates three examples of how changes to the zero and shift settings affect what distance readout is shown on the display when in 2-pt TEACH mode. Changes to the zero setting affect the direction in which the distance increases. Shifting the zero reference location only affects the readout on the display and does not affect the output.

## 3.2.11 Offset 

Use this menu to set an offset from the taught surface during a TEACH procedure. 

This menu is available only if one-point window (foreground suppression) mode or one-point background suppression mode is selected. For Channel 2, the output must be set to light operate or dark operate. 

www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 

19 

Q5X Laser Measurement Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link 

## **Note:** The number that follows 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 up to 191 cm for 2000 mm models and up to 497 cm for 5000 mm models. 

For BGS mode, the default is **Auto** because the Q5X 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. 

## 3.2.12 Display View 

Use this menu to select the display view. 

When the sensor is in sleep mode, the display wakes with the first button press. 

- —Normal (default setting) 

- —Inverted (rotated 180°) 

- —Normal and the display enters sleep mode after 60 seconds 

- —Inverted (rotated 180°) and the display enters sleep mode after 60 seconds 

## 3.2.13 Units 

Use this menu to set the displayed units to centimeters (cm), inches ("), millimeters (mm). 

- —centimeter (with a decimal point at < 60 centimeters) 

- —inch (with a decimal point at < 24 inches)

## 3.3 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. 

**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. 

## 3.4 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. The remote input is either Active High or Active Low depending on the polarity setting. If the polarity is set to **def** or **PNP** , the remote input is Active High. If polarity is set to **NPN** , the remote input is Active Low. 

For Active High, connect the white wire to 24 V DC with a remote switch connected between the wire and 24 V DC.

## 3.7 Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM) Output 

The Q5X 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 ( ) 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 to . 

## 3.8 Sync Master/Slave 

Two Q5X 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:

IO-Link is a point-to-point communication link between a master device and sensor. 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 Q5X's IO-Link IODD package (p/n 206833 for the 2000 mm models; 217156 for the 5000 mm models) 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 Q5X, 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.

Q5X Laser Measurement Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link 

## 6 Additional Information 

## 6.1 Dual (Intensity + Distance) Mode 

Dual TEACH mode, dual intensity + distance window, expands the applications the Q5X can solve by combining distancebased detection with light intensity thresholds. 

In background suppression (DYN, 1-pt, 2-pt) and foreground suppression (FGS) TEACH modes, the Q5X sensor compares changes in the measured distance between the sensor and target to control the output state. In dual TEACH mode, the user teaches the Q5X 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 Q5X 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 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 50% match to the reference condition (50P); this sets the threshold 50% 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).

The Q5X 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. 

## 6.2 Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations 

Optimize reliable detection by applying these principles when selecting your reference surface, positioning your sensor relative to the reference surface, and presenting your target. 

The robust detection capabilities of the Q5X 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 

   - Fixed surface with no vibration 

   - Dry surface with no build-up of oil, water, or dust 

2. Position the reference surface between 200 mm (20 cm) and the maximum sensing range. 

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.

Q5X Laser Measurement Sensor with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO-Link 

## 6.3 Dual Mode Considerations for Clear and Transparent Object Detection 

The Q5X 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 Q5X 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: 

_Table 15: Match percentage to taught reference point_ 

|**Switch point (%)**|**Typical Applications**|
|---|---|
|50 (default)|Default, recommended for PET bottles and Trays|
|88|Recommended for thin films|
|50|Recommended for tinted brown, tinted green, or water-filled containers|
