Adjustable Proximity Sensor H3C

Product catalog summary
Precautions for Use: The document emphasizes the importance of correctly aligning grooves and hand-tightening the nut on connector cables to ensure a secure fit with switch-side connectors. It specifies the use of model PA5 connector cables for pre-leaded quick-lock connector-type sensors.
Specifications: Detailed specifications for connector cables are provided, including types such as vinyl-insulated and polyurethane-insulated cables, which are resistant to oil and vibration. Information includes model numbers, cable descriptions, diameters, lengths, and conductor areas.
Installation Guidelines: Recommendations are given to prevent mutual interference by maintaining minimum distances between sensors. The document specifies maximum tightening torque for nuts, which varies based on the distance from the sensor head.
Effects from Nearby Metal Objects: The document discusses how nearby metal objects can affect sensor operating distances and provides minimum distance requirements to mitigate these effects.
Adjustable Proximity Sensor Features: Features of the H3C adjustable proximity sensor are described, including zone sensing, tuning, and visualization. The sensor allows easy threshold level setting and detection level monitoring during operation.
Application Examples: Examples include detecting machine tool clamp positions, monitoring liquid levels, and avoiding workpiece-collision errors. The sensor's ability to reduce adjustment work and improve operating rates is emphasized.
Tuning Functions: Tuning functions such as single point mode, two-point mode, and window mode are detailed, allowing for easy adjustment to sense minute changes.
Specifications of IO-Link Communication: Specifications include operating voltage range, current consumption, and protection levels, along with compliance with various EMC standards.
Output Circuit and Wiring: Diagrams and explanations of the output circuit and wiring are provided, detailing the functions of indicator lamps during operation.
Specifications and Procedures: The operation of indicator lamps and outputs in different modes is outlined, focusing on BDC1 and BDC2 set points. The behavior of the C/Q output and the orange indicator lamp, as well as the DO output and the green indicator lamp, is described for both standard I/O (SIO) and IO-Link communication modes.
Standard I/O Mode (SIO): The C/Q output and the orange indicator lamp activate based on set points and N.O./N.C. settings for BDC1, while the DO output and the green indicator lamp activate based on BDC2 settings.
IO-Link Communication Mode: Detection is performed according to set points and N.O./N.C. settings for BDC1 and BDC2. The orange indicator lamp synchronizes with BDC1, and the green indicator lamp blinks during communication.
Connector Pin Layout: Details on the connector pin layout for M8 and M12 connectors in both SIO and IO-Link communication modes are provided.
Key Notes: The document emphasizes the synchronization of indicator lamps with set points and N.O./N.C. settings, highlighting differences in indicator behavior between SIO and IO-Link modes.

Adjustable Proximity Sensor H3C-1

Connector cables azbil Fastening the connector Align the grooves and rotate the nut on the connector cable side by hand until it fits tightly with the switch-side connector. Adjustable Proxi mity SensorModel H3C-H When connecting a pre-leaded quick-lock connector-type sensor, be sure to use a model PA5-___connector cable. Precautions for Use • Mutual interference prevention If proximity sensors are installed side-by-side or facing each other, mutual interference will occur, resulting in malfunction. Maintain the minimum distances between sensors according to the table below. • Tightening torque Use the supplied nuts and toothed washers for installation. The maximum tightening torque of the nuts varies depending on the distance from the sensor head. The maximum tightening torque is indicated in the table below. When tightening, do not hold or turn the indicator (plastic part). The maximum tightening torque can vary depending on the materials and surface conditions of the mounting plates, mounting housings, nuts, washers, and other parts used for the sensor. Check in advance that the torque is appropriate for the actual combination of parts used. A: Distance from the proximity sensor’ s sensing surface to an iron plate in front of the sensor B: Distance from the proximity sensor’ s axis to an iron plate in front of the sensor Please read “Terms and Conditions” from the following URL before ordering and use. https://www.azbil.com/products/factory/order.html Other product names, model numbers and company names may be trademarks of the respective company.

Adjustable Proximity Sensor H3C-3

Sensing of 4 areas using 2 outputs Feature Long-awaited visualization of sensing safety margin [ Visualization ] Sensing of 4 areas is done by a combination of the operational logic and operational modes of outputs 1 (BDC1) and 2 (BDC2). A single switch does the work of multiple units, saving space and significantly cutting adjustment man-hours. This reduces the need for troublesome adjustment of the position of multiple switches. The dedicated setting tool helps check the proximity switch’ s positional accuracy and safety margin for sensing (excess gain). Conventional proximity switches’ LED...

Adjustable Proximity Sensor H3C-4

Sample Uses Sensing of main spindle tool clamp position With multiple proximity switches, tool clamp position can be detected. Common problems Sensor failure detection with two inverted ON/OFF outputs ● Adjusting switch positions takes a long time. ● Adjustment results vary depending on the worker. Ex.: A proximity sensor in a high location cannot be seen. ● After setup, the amount of excess gain is unknown. Normal operation A single H3C unit (with 2 outputs) can detect the tool clamp position. ● It is necessary only to adjust the setting distances of the switches. Less adjustment work ● The...
