Analog Scanner Configuration
Touch the Photoeye and Scanner Configure button on the System
Configuration screen to open the Photoeye and Scanner Configuration
screen.
NOTE: This feature requires analog scanners supplied and configured by
Nordson Corporation.
The analog scanners are used to measure the part width and height for
positioner and reciprocator control. They can also be used for zone
detection, as described in Section 3, System Configuration. The analog
scanner controllers communicate with the iControl system over the Ethernet
network.
For most systems, one or two horizontally mounted scanners are used to
detect part width for horizontal (in/out) positioners, while a vertically
mounted scanner is used to detect the part height for reciprocators or for
vertical (up/down) positioners.
For analog scanners, separation between the emitter and receiver should
be no more than:
S 6 meters (20 ft) if the scanner is less than 1.2 meters ( 4 ft) long
S 4.5 meters (15 ft) if the scanner is more than 1.2 meters (4 ft) long.
