The use of only two switches makes for very simple operations

All models

Only two switches, the large

jog switch and the large MODE

key, are required for operation.

You can operate it simply by

the 3 steps shown on the right.

Large MODE key

Pressing the switch selects

or cancels the operating

mode

Moving the switch

from side to side

allows items to be

A quick-connection cable saves wiring and

Connector type

One unit can be used as either a main unit or sub unit

The amplifier unit can be used as either a main unit

or a sub unit. This feature allows for easy mounting in

the side-by-side configuration. The main and sub unit

functions are distinguished only by the proper use of the

main cable and the sub cable.

Moreover, inventory management and maintenance is

simplified.

An optical communication function allows up to *16 sensors

to be adjusted simultaneously

FX-301 FX-305

The optical communication function allows the data that is

currently set to be copied and saved all at once for all amplifiers

connected together from the right side. This greatly reduces

troublesome setup tasks and makes setup much smoother. In

addition, troublesome adjustment operations at times such as

when replacing

sensors can also be

carried out easily

and data can also be

copied and stored

using the optical

communication

function.

Single copy & save operation for all amplifiers

* Use the optical communication function for only the same types of sensors. Furthermore,

the

FX-301-HS is not equipped with optical communication function capability.

Settings can be entered directly using numerical input All models

Every function can be directly set merely by the input

of a four digit code (numbers) from the code table. This

convenient feature is easy to set up. In the event that

settings are accidentally changed at the operating site,

merely entering the correct code can restore the original

settings. This results in easy and quick maintenance.

First digit: Settings for response time and hysteresis

Second digit: Settings for L/D ON and display mode

Fourth digit: Timer period settings

Third digit: Settings for Adjust lock and timer

Identical part numbers eliminate

the need for costly inventory

management labor

Upper communication unit for digital sensor SC-GU1-485

We now offer remote maintenance for digital sensors!

The communication unit enables inputs to the digital fiber

sensors (such as teaching and data bank switching) to

be carried out via a PLC or a personal computer, and

also allows confirming of the incident light intensity an

output status for the fiber sensors. This greatly improves

workability during equipment starting up and maintenance.

External input unit for digital sensor

FX-CH2

Teaching and changing settings can be performed

by using the PLC and touch panel.

Various settings and switching of up to 16 units of

digital fiber sensors can be accomplished at once

without operating the actual sensors themselves, but

via external signals, such as the PLC, touch panel, and

push buttons.
