Banner Q4X: Dual Mode Demo
In this article and video, Lindsey Shepard demonstrates the
new powerful teach mode called dual mode, which is now standard on the Q4X by
Banner Engineering. We will show you step by step how to put your Q4X sensor
into tool mode to detect clear objects and perform error proofing applications
based on height and intensity changes. Let's take a look.
Press and hold mode for two or more seconds teach will
appear. Press the select button to enter the teach menu. Press the plus or
minus button until dual appears. Press the select button to enter into dual
mode. Press the plus or minus button until end appears. Press select to exit
the teach menu with the base target presented. Press and hold teach for two or
more seconds and on will begin to flash on the display. Present the path
condition and press select the sensor will now trigger a fail condition when
the washer is not present the sensor will trigger a past condition and illuminate
the LED output when the correct washer is present. If two washers are present
the sensor will trigger a failed condition. If the wrong color washer is
present the sensor will also trigger a fail condition. Present a steady target
such as a metal machine frame conveyor side rail or mounted target, press the
teach button for two or more seconds present a reference condition and push the
teach button again to teach the reference condition. The sensor learns this as
a 100% match condition and will look for changes in distance intensity or
second reflection condition. The Q4X can reliably detect clear or transparent
objects including vials films containers and bottles
