4 Intended use

The fibre-optic amplifier is used to connect fibre optics of the FE-11, FT-11, FE-00 and FT-00 type. The E21327 adapter is required for the FE-00 and FT-00 types. The range or sensing range varies depending on the fibre optics used.

Objects and materials can be detected without contact via the fibre optics. The fibre-optic amplifier evaluates the signal and outputs a corresponding switching signal.

5 Function

Depending on the fibre optics connected, the fibre-optic amplifier can be used as an energetic diffuse reflection sensor or as a through-beam system.

5.1 Measuring principle

Energetic diffuse reflection sensor

Diffuse sensors	The transmitter and receiver are integrated in the same sensing head. The objects are detected by reflection of the light beam according to the energetic principle. Energetic principle:The range depends on the energy of the reflected light. Depending on the object surface the light is reflected more or less well:good reflection: smooth / light object.poor reflection: rough / dark object.
		1: Transmitter and receiver2: Object

Through-beam system

Through-beam sensor	The transmitter and receiver are integrated in different fibre-optic heads. The objects are detected by interruption of the light beam.
		1: Transmitter2: Receiver

5.2 Operating modes

5.2.1 Switching mode

In switching mode, the sensor is directly connected to the process control unit and transmits the state via the switching output.

If the set switching threshold is exceeded / not reached, this is signalled by means of switching signals on the switching output.

5.2.2 Operation with IO-Link master

If the sensor is connected to an IO-Link master, parameter setting and data recording can be done completely via IO-Link.

IO-Link is a communication system for the connection of intelligent sensors and actuators to automation systems. IO-Link is regulated in the IEC 61131-9 standard.

9 Set-up

After power on and expiry of the power-on delay time, the device is in the normal operating mode “Run mode”. It carries out its measurement and evaluation functions and generates output signals according to the set parameters.

Upon initial set-up - provided that the device has not already been set up via IO-Link - or after a reset, a guided installation ➕ 15 is offered when switching from the process value display to the main menu.

After installation, electrical connection and parameter setting, check whether the device operates correctly. The most recent settings are stored internally by the sensor and remain valid even if the voltage supply is interrupted.

When an IO-Link master is connected, the device automatically goes from SIO mode (standard input-output) into IO-Link mode if the port of the master is set to IO-Link mode.

9.1 Run mode

After set-up the device is put to Run mode. The display is divided into two parts and shows the current process value on the left side and the current setpoint for switching output 1 OUT1 on the right side.

BACK: The menu returns to the previous step.

9.3 Guided installation / extended teaching process

Further guided setting options are available during the initial set-up if GUIDED is selected under Teach method:

• Output 1 function: (SSC1.1, SSC1.2, OFF)
- Teach SSC1.#: (2 POINT, OBJECT, BACKGROUND, DYNAMIC, WINDOW)
• Logic output 1: (HIGH ACTIVE, LOW ACTIVE)

Switching output 2 is deactivated at the factory (setting OFF). The following settings are available when the switching output is activated:

• Output 2 function: (SSC1.1, SSC1.2, OFF)
- Teach SSC1.#: (2 POINT, OBJECT, BACKGROUND, DYNAMIC, WINDOW)
• Logic output 2: (HIGH ACTIVE, LOW ACTIVE)

The switching outputs 1 and 2 can be freely linked to the digital switching channels SSC1.1 and SSC1.2. Factory set, switching output 1 is linked to SSC1.1 and switching output 2 is deactivated.

All settings can be adjusted subsequently via the menu. For detailed descriptions of the individual parameters, please refer to the following chapters.

10 Menu

▶ Press Ⓑ to access the menu from Run mode.

Some menu items and parameters are suppressed by the current settings. The dependencies are described in the respective chapters.

10.1 Basic functions

10.2 Extended functions

11 Parameter setting

The parameters can be set via the IO-Link interface or the operating elements on the device. The parameters can be set before installation and set-up or during operation.

If you change parameters during operation, this will influence the function of the plant.

▶ Ensure that there will be no malfunctions in your plant.

In terms of foresight, certain settings such as the selection of the operating mode do not need to be confirmed in order to become active for the moment. If, for example, the setpoint is exceeded as a result, the output signal changes.

The two digital outputs SSC1.1 and SSC1.2 are available via the IO-Link interface. The configuration of the settings is performed for the two digital outputs. The function of the switching outputs is established by linking them to a digital output. In this case, the function of a digital output can be assigned to both switching outputs simultaneously in order to operate both switching outputs in parallel.

For the factory settings please refer to the end of these instructions.

11.1 Parameter setting via IO-Link

Requirements for parameter setting via the IO-Link interface:

√ A suitable parameter setting software, e.g. ifm moneo|configure
√ The Input Output Device Description (IODD) for the device, see documentation.ifm.com
√ An IO-Link master

11.2.1 SSC1.# Teach OUT1

Starts a new teach for switching output 1.

Available options:

• 2 POINT
- OBJECT
- BACKGROUND
• DYNAMIC
- WINDOW

For further information on the teach methods and how they work: Setting the range ➕ 34

11.2.2 SSC1.# Setpoint 1

The sensor emits red light. The process value describes the received light energy by using a value between 0 and 9999 (left value in the picture). The switching threshold defines the point above or below which a switching signal is emitted.

The switching threshold of setpoint 1 can be manually set between the minimum value 100 and the maximum value 9900.

In the WINDOW mode, SP1 is limited to a maximum value of 8250.

11.2.3 SSC1.# Setpoint 2

OUT1 Setpoint 2 is only available in the modes WINDOW and TWO POINT.

In TWO POINT mode, a maximum value of 9900 can be selected for SP2. In WINDOW mode, SP2 is limited to a maximum value of 8250. If you switch to the WINDOW mode, SP2 is automatically reduced to a value of 8250, provided that it previously had a higher value.

11.2.4 Operating mode

The fibre-optic amplifier has different operating modes. These operating modes are designed for different applications depending on distance or speed requirements.

	HIGH SPEED	FAST	STANDARD	FINE	POWER	HIGH POWER
Response time [μs]	25	50	250	1000	4000	12500
Switching frequency [Hz]	20000	10000	2000	500	125	40
Excess gain (detection range) *	+	++	+++	++++	+++++	++++++
Precision (smallest detectable object) *	+++++	+++++	++++	+++	++	+

*Further information at: ifm.com ➕ Fibre optics ➕ Data sheets

The table serves as a guide to which operating mode is most suitable for a specific application. The rating scale ranges from “+” (less suitable) to “++++++” (very suitable).

11.2.5 Fibre optics flashing

The connected fibre optics flash on the transmitter side.

The flashing of the fibre optics in larger plants ensures its quick and reliable detection.

While the fibre optics are flashing, outputs OUT1 and OUT2 are inactive.

11.3 Extended functions

In the 2.1 ➞ 19 parameter setting level, the following menu entries can be selected:

• Configuration
• Output 1
• Output 2
• Display
• Device info
• Reset

11.3.1 Configuration CFG

In the CFG parameter setting level, a maximum of the following menu entries is available for selection, depending on other settings:

• Polarity
  • Transmitter capacity
  • Automatic capacity regulation

• Transmitter LED

• Anti-Cross-Talk
  • Receiver behaviour
• Auto SP function
• Auto SP period
• Auto SP teach
• Restart guide

11.3.1.1 Polarity

Setting of the polarity of the switching outputs.

Available options:

• PNP: positive switching
• NPN: negative switching

The polarity is set for both switching outputs simultaneously. Independent parameter setting is not possible.

11.3.1.2 Transmitter capacity

Manual setting of system performance based on transmission power of the transmitter LED and the receiver sensitivity.

Available value range: 1% - 100%

The current process value is displayed on the left side for targeted selection of the transmitter capacity.

After manually adjusting the transmitter capacity, it is recommended to check the configured setpoints and adjust them, if necessary.

11.3.1.3 Automatic capacity regulation

Automated setting of the transmitter LED intensity. The algorithm aims to adjust the current process value to a value between 4500 and 5500. To this end, the intensity of the transmitter LED is increased or reduced where possible.

Available options:

• INACTIVE: The capacity regulation is not executed. Return to the menu level above.
- EXECUTE: The capacity regulation is executed. After that, the default value INACTIVE will be used again.

If no process value between 4500 and 5500 is reached, the message Regulation failure appears and the previously valid settings remain unchanged.

After using the automatic capacity regulation, it is recommended to check the configured set-points and adjust them, if necessary.

The automatic capacity regulation serves as an aid to support reliable switching behaviour in sensitive applications. A saturated signal is no sign of a sensor or application failure and can be used for teaching setpoints.

11.3.1.4 Transmitter LED

Transmitter LED operating setting.

Available options:

• ON: Transmitter LED is switched on.
• OFF: Transmitter LED is switched off.
- PDOUT: The input signal for switching the transmitter LED on and off is transmitted via the IO-Link master (IO-Link operation).

When the transmitter LED is switched off, no processing of measured values takes place. In this state, the outputs are inactive.

11.3.1.5 Anti-Cross-Talk

The Anti-Cross-Talk function serves to reduce optical interference from up to three sensors that are operated in close proximity to one another.

Before activating the Anti-Cross-Talk function, optical interference should be minimised by using a suitable optical set-up. Sufficient distances between adjacent sensors, optical apertures and screenings can be used for this purpose.

Adjacent light barriers should be arranged in opposite directions (transmitter, receiver, transmitter), if possible.

It is recommended to select the operating mode with the highest signal level.

When using multiple sensors in close proximity, the Anti-Cross-Talk function should be activated in all systems.

Available options:

• ON: The function is switched on.
• OFF: The function is switched off.

The interference reduction is not complete. Despite the activated function, incorrect switching may occur, in particular a fluttering of the output signal.

The use of switch-on and switch-off delays can further reduce any residual flutter in the output signal. SSC1.#Delay mode → 30

The delay times selected must correspond to the time requirements of the application. A delay time of 3 ms significantly improves the suppression of output flutter OUT in typical applications.

11.3.1.6 Receiver behaviour

The two possible functions cleaning indication CLEAN ME and automatic setpoint tracking AUTO SP monitor the continuous process value and derive actions from it that support the user in targeted maintenance.

Available options:

• OFF: Neither of the two possible functions is active. There is no monitoring or regulation.

- AUTO SP: The continuous process value is monitored and, if necessary, the setpoint is automatically adjusted to enable long-term stable operation. The activation of AUTO SP is represented by the addition of Auto in Run mode.

4398 Auto 8123

Further settings are necessary for AUTO SP to function correctly:

• AUTO SP function: Setting whether the system is currently being used as a through-beam sensor THROUGH B or as a diffuse reflection sensor DIF. REFLECT. To avoid regulation failures, it is recommended to use a constant background when setting up as a diffuse reflection sensor DIF. REFLECT.
• AUTO SP period: Speed at which the setpoint is tracked: SLOW (1 PDV/60s), MEDIUM (1 PDV/5s), FAST (1 PDV/100ms)
• AUTO SP Teach: To define a current control value and a new setpoint, a 2 Point teach is performed. Once the teach has been successfully completed, further changes to the setpoint (e.g. via 2 Point teach) will be ignored until the AUTO SP function is deactivated.
• CLEAN ME: The continuous process value is monitored in comparison to the current setpoint in order to detect contamination of the optical fibres. If the process value remains within a certain range around the setpoint for more than 5 seconds, a cleaning indication is issued via IO-Link and the display. If the process value leaves the range automatically, the cleaning indication is automatically cancelled. The setpoint must be < 8000 for proper functioning.

To ensure proper operation:

▶ Clean the fibre optics professionally.

AUTO SP is not intended to compensate for large signal differences as these may be interpreted as objects. This means that setpoint tracking is no longer guaranteed.

CLEAN ME is not designed to detect small signal differences, e.g. caused by transparent objects. Due to the small signal differences, such applications can easily be influenced by other environmental factors such as temperature variations or vibrations. This may lead to an increased frequency of cleaning indications.

The function AUTO SP cannot be selected if the teach mode of SSC1.# is set to WIN-DOW. SSC1.# Teach OUT1 ➞ 24

11.3.1.7 Restart guide

Depending on the selected link, the other menu entries are clearly named.

The IO-Link interface can be used independently of the output configuration. The switching states continue to be signalled via SSC1.1 and SSC1.2 even when the switching output is deactivated.

Output 1 (pin 4)	Output 2 (pin 2)	IO-Link
SSC1.1	OFF	SSC1.1 and SSC1.2	• Output 1 switches to the setpoint of SSC1.1• Output 2 is deactivated• IO-Link provides the process value and both switching signals
SSC1.2	SSC1.2	SSC1.1 and SSC1.2	• Outputs 1 and 2 switch to the setpoint of SSC1.2• IO-Link provides the process value and both switching signals
