42EF RightSight Sensor with IO-Link Overview
Alignment Mode facilitates the alignment of the sensors in applications where a
transmitted beam receiver or a polarized retroreflective sensor require optimal
alignment.
Timers and Counters add additional sensor functionality
by allowing the
operator to count the number of times a target has been detected.

Pin 2 Enable parameter allows continuous m
onitoring of the sensor while
providing access to a discrete output. Pin 2 Enable is ideal for applications where
high-speed sensor detection is critical to the application.
Process Data Maps allow the selection
of the type of information that is
continuously sent to the PLC as a process data parameter.
Automatic Device Configuration (ADC): Replacing damaged
sensors is easy.
Simply remove the old Allen-Bradley sensor and connect the new one—the
controller automatically sends the configuration to the new sensor.
Application Specific Name (ASN): With numerous sensors on a machine with
the s
a
me catalog number, the ASN parameter within each sensor makes it easy to
identify the sensor during commissioning and the lifetime of the machine when
collecting data. Name resides in the project and the sensor itself.
Tag Naming for I/O Data: Rockwell Automation
sys
tem solutions provide tag
names that are based on the Allen-Bradley sensor connected. I/O data is
converted, formatted, and named based on the Allen-Bradley sensor applied.
