3.3.3.1 Channel Type
The “Channel Type” selects the basic logic that the input will apply to the sensor. The following
“Channel Types” are available:
Channel type used to monitor sensors that are independent of the machine production
cycle. There is no timing window associated with these inputs. See Section 3.3.1.1 on
page 24 for more information about this type.
Channel type used to monitor events that occur once each machine cycle. These events
must occur during the set timing window. See Section 3.3.1.2 on page 25 for more
information about this type.
Channel type typically used to monitor material feed progression. See Section 3.3.1.3
on page 26 for more information about this type.
Channel type typically used to monitor material feed progression. See Section 3.3.1.4
on page 27 for more information about this type.
Detector
Channel type used to monitor part ejection for parts that are completely out of the die
area as soon as there are sensed by the channel’s input sensor. See Section 3.3.1.5 on
page 28 for more information about this type.
Detector
Pass
Channel type used to monitor part ejection for parts that are not completely out of the
die area when they are first sensed by the channel’s input sensor. The part must be
completely past the sensor by the end of the timing window. See Section 3.3.1.6 on
page 29 for more information about this type.
Detector
Edge
Channel type used to monitor two parts whose ejection is sensed by the same sensor.
The parts must enter the sensor’s sensing field at different times. The last part does not
have to exit the sensing field at the end of the timing window. See Section 3.3.1.7 on
page 30 for more information about this type.
Detector
Pass
Channel type used to monitor two parts whose ejection is sensed by the same sensor.
The parts must enter the sensor’s sensing field at different times. The last part must be
completely past the sensor by the end of the timing window. See Section 3.3.1.8 on
page 31 for more information about this type.
Channel type typically used to monitor part transfer. The channel’s input sensor must
report that the part is present through the entire timing window. See Section 3.3.1.9 on
page 32 for more information about this type.
Anywhere
Channel type used to drive a sensor-based part counter not related to press position. See
Section 3.3.1.10 on page 32 for more information about this type. Note that this type is
only available for selection when one or more counters have been configured for sensor-
