FT-50 Fill Level Inspector Operation Guide
1-6 Industrial Dynamics Company, Ltd. Document 40272-0700
Low Foam Detection
This feature uses a optical sensor to detect a low foam condition within
the container. This option is only available for clear containers.
Foil Seal Detection
This feature uses a proximity sensor to detect a foil seal under the
container cap. This option is available only for containers with plastic
caps.
Smashed Container Detection
This feature uses a optical sensor to detect a smashed (plastic) or broken
container (glass). This feature requires a slat rejector.
Down Can Detection
This feature uses a optical sensor to detect a can that has been knocked
over onto its side.
Label Inspection
Depending upon the complexity of the container label configuration,
optical sensor arrays are used to detect the presence of a label or labels,
including barcode verification.
Reject Sorting
This option allows the FT-50 to classify the various types of rejects and
then reject them into different reject bins, or reject conveyor lanes, based
upon the classifications. This option requires the Servotec rejector.
Serial Interface
Provides serial network communications over RS-232, RS-422, RS-423
and RS-485 networks at 1200 or 9600 baud. It allows direct control of the
FT-50 from a host computer or PLC.
Programmable Logic Controller Interface (PLC)
Provides direct access to the signal wiring so that you can transmit control
signals to the FT-50 and receive signals from the FT-50. This option
requires the I/O Junction Box.
