Sensors

An Impressive Lineup of Sensor Heads to Handle a Wide Variety of Applications

An Array of Heads

The lineup includes some Sensor Heads as thin as 3-mm in diameter and others that are thin and flat. Narrow installation spaces are not a problem for these models. Still other Sensor Heads are heat resistant or rated IP67 for superior environmental resistance. These models are capable of high-resolution sensing even in harsh environments.

Flexible Cables Provided as a Standard Feature

Industry First

With flexible cables connecting the Preamplifier to the Amplifier, installation on moving parts is never a problem. The twin-output models can also output an open-circuit alarm. In that rare instance where the cable breaks, the E2C-EDA can then send out an alarm that greatly simplifies the task of locating the faulty Sensor.

High-resolution Sensing Unaffected by Environmental Swings

Industry Leader

Excellent temperature characteristics at 0.08% /^ (5.4-mm dia. Sensor Head)

In addition to repeat accuracy of 1 - m or better, the temperature characteristics of the E2C-EDA are flat. This means that environmental factors, such as temperature swings in the morning and at night, will not affect high-resolution positioning and screening.

Temperature Influence (Typical Examples) 5.4-mm dia. E2C-ED01(-□)

Amplifiers

Simple and Reliable Measurements with Micron-level Resolution

Industry First

Two Clear, Large, and Easy-to-Read Digital Displays

The E2C-EDA features two large, easy-to-read digital displays. Since the digitized detected and threshold values can be checked at the same time, settings are simple and reliable for just about anyone. Various teaching methods are also available for settings that cannot be made consistently by different operators.

Digital Display Simplifies Installation and Settings In the stable sensing zone, the E2C-EDA generally reads 1,500 or higher (see note 2). This way you can tell at a glance whether the current installation and settings are within the optimal range.

Note 2: This reading is only a guideline because there may be some variation between Sensors. Also refer to the Engineering Data because values may vary with non-standard objects.

Note 1: Press the MODE Key with the E3C-EDA running to switch to individual teaching modes, Fine Positioning, or Zero Reset.

Connector for Connecting Sensor Heads to Amplifiers

A Shielded Connector is used for more reliable wiring and easier cable handling. Since the press-fit connector allows repeat connections, wiring and head replacement are simple and reliable.

Support for High-resolution Positioning and Screening

Patent pending

Fine Positioning Maximizes Digital Changes

Fine Positioning maximizes changes in the digital value as you get closer to the sensing point. More precise sensing can be achieved by executing Fine Positioning with the workpiece positioned at the point to be maximized.

Applications

Screening

Digital Display

The E2C-EDA can visually recognize height and material differences simply and reliably even with the most demanding settings.

Height inspection

Area Output (Twin-output Type)

An OK/NG result is easily obtained because the E2C-EDA outputs a signal between two threshold values.

Height inspection

Mutual Interference Prevention

The E2C-EDA has a mutual interference prevention function that uses intermittent sensing via optical communications to enable up to 5 Sensors to be combined very closely together. This feature enables multiple measurements to be made in a machine or process.

Positioning

Teaching

Position teaching yields consistent settings that cannot be matched by operator settings.

Conventional dial type

Digital type

Operator setting inconsistencies

Perfect

Settings are simple enough for anyone with teaching (reduces operator setting inconsistencies).

Gap inspection

Metal chip and shaving buildup inspection for presses

Zero Reset (Fixed Threshold)

When using a fixed sensing gap (threshold), the origin and reference position can be corrected quite simply if needed, such as when changing the process being performed.

Change in Machine Arrangement

Zero Reset

The origin (reference) is offset.

Correction completed!

Simple and Common Sensor Operation in Devices

Platform Concept Ensures Common Operation and Programming Devices

The basic functions and Programming Devices like the Mobile Console are the same for

E2C-EDA as they are for the E3X-DA-S Digital Fiber Sensor and the E3C-LDA Laser-type

Photoelectric Sensor. Just select the right type of E2C-EDA for the application, and the rest is easy.

OMRON's unique wiring-saving Connector reduces the amount of wiring required even with a mixture of different sensing types.

Precautions for Correct Use

Do not use this product in operating atmospheres or environments outside the specified ratings.

Amplifier Units

Design

Power ON

The Sensor is ready to sense an object within 200 ms after turning the power ON. If the load and Sensor are connected to different power supplies, always turn ON the Sensor power first.

- Connecting Sensor Heads

Connecting and Disconnecting Sensor Heads

1. Open the protective cover.
2. Making sure that the lock button is up, insert the fibers all the way to the back of the Connector insertion opening.

To disconnect the Sensor Head, pull out the fibers while pressing on the lock button.

Connecting and Disconnecting Connectors

Connecting Connectors

1. Insert the Master or Slave Connector into the Amplifier Unit until it clicks into place.

1. Apply the supplied seal to the non-connection surface of the Master/Slave Connector.

Note: Apply the seal to the grooved side.

Disconnecting Connectors

1. Slide the Slave Amplifier Unit.
2. After the Amplifier Unit has been separated, press down on the lever on the Connector and remove it. (Do not attempt to remove Connectors without separating them from other Amplifier Units first.)

Installing and Removing Amplifier Units Installing Amplifier Units

1. Install the Units one by one to the DIN rail.

Sensor Head Connector Clips

1. Slide one Unit toward the other, match the clips at the front ends, and then bring them together until they "click."

Removing Amplifier Units

Slide one Unit away from the other and remove them one by one. (Do not remove the connected Units together from the DIN rail.)

Note 1. When the Amplifier Units are connected to each other, the operable ambient temperature changes depending on the number of connected Amplifier Units. Check Specifications.
2. Before connecting or disconnecting the Units, always switch power OFF.

End Plate Mounting (PFP-M)

Mount End Plates on Amplifier Units to avoid movement due to vibration. When a Mobile Console is installed, mount the End Plate facing as shown in the following diagram.

Mounting a Communications Head for the Mobile Console

Leave a space of at least 20mm on the left side of the Units for a Mobile Console Communications Head.

EEPROM Write Error

If the data is not written to the EEPROM correctly due to a power failure or static-electric noise, initialize the settings using the keys on the Amplifier Unit.

Optical Communications

When using more than one Amplifier Unit, mount the Units side-by-side. Do not slide or remove Units while they are in use.

Miscellaneous

Protective Cover

Be sure to put on the Protective Cover before use.

Mobile Console

Use the E3X-MC11-SV2 Mobile Console for E2C-EDA-series Amplifier Units. Other Mobile Consoles, such as the E3X-MC11, cannot be used.

Sensor Head and Amplifier Unit Connection

Be sure to use only specified Sensor Head and Amplifier Unit combinations. The E3C-LDA-series Photoelectric Sensor with Separate Digital Amplifier is not compatible, and the E2C-EDA must not be used with products from that series.

Warm-up

The digital display will slowly change until the circuits stabilize after the power is turned ON. It takes about 30 minutes after the power is turned ON before the E2C-EDA is ready to sense.

Maintenance Inspection

• Be sure to turn OFF the power before adjusting, connecting, or disconnecting the Sensor Head.
• Do not use thinner, benzene, acetone, or kerosene to clean the Sensor Head or Amplifier Unit.

Sensor Heads

Mounting

Mounting Sensor Heads

• Use the dimensions from the following table to mount unthreaded cylindrical models (E2C-ED-□□). Do not tighten screws with torque exceeding 0.2 N·m when mounting Sensor Heads.

Model	Tightening range A
E2C-EDR6-F	9 to 18 mm
E2C-ED01□□	9 to 18 mm
E2C-ED02□□	11 to 12 mm

• Use the torque given in the following table to tighten threaded cylindrical models (E2C-EM□□).

Model	Tightening torque
E2C-EM02☐☐	15 N·m max.
E2C-EM07M☐☐	15 N·m max.
E2C-EM02H☐☐	5.9 N·m max.

• Do not use torque exceeding 0.5 N·m to tighten screws when mounting flat models (E2C-EV□□).
• Use a bending radius of at least 8mm for the Sensor Head cable.
• Use only the special extension cable to extend the cable between the Sensor Head and the Amplifier Unit. Consult your OMRON representative for details.

Effects of Surrounding Metal

• Provide a minimum distance between the Sensor and the surrounding metal as shown in the table below.

Effects of Surrounding Metal (Units: mm)
