R55F sensors feature TEACH sensitivity adjustment, by presenting the light and the dark sensing conditions to the sensor. In addition, sensitivity may be finetuned at any time by clicking the + or - buttons on the sensor. The ten-element signal strength light bar clearly displays the relative received signal strength. The bipolar (one NPN and one PNP) outputs may be configured to include a 20or 40-millisecond pulse stretcher (OFF Delay), if required. Both TEACH sensitivity adjustment and output setup are accomplished using the pushbuttons on the sensor, or by supplying input pulses using the remote line. TEACH mode has two options: Static TEACH and Dynamic TEACH. Static TEACH is used to manually set the two sensing conditions individually or to configure a specific condition to be sensed (single-point TEACH adjustment). Dynamic TEACH provides a means for adjusting a series of conditions on-thefly; the R55F averages the sensing events and automatically sets the switch point between light and dark conditions, and periodically updates it via the adaptive threshold feature.

Features Installation Install Glass Fibers Note: See Figure 2 on p. 2 for the location of the fiber clip. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Verify that a rubber o-ring is pre-installed on each fiber control end. Slide the fiber clip to the open position (A). Insert one fiber end into each port (B). Push firmly on the fiber ends to compress the o-rings and align the grooves in the fiber ends with the slot in the fiber clip. Slide the fiber clip back into place, locking the fibers into position (C). Install Plastic Fibers R55F sensors accept 0.75 mm, 1.0 mm, and 1.5 mm (0.03-in, 0.04-in, and 0.06-in) core diameter plastic fibers. 1. Cut the control ends (sensor ends) of the plastic fiber(s) to the desired length per the procedure that accompanies the fiber assembly. 2. If it has not already been done, separate bifurcated fibers by approximately 51 mm (2 in) from the control ends. 3. Slide the fiber clip to the open position (A). B Fiber Clip C A Figure 2. Installing Fibers into the R55F Sensor 4. Insert the fiber ends into each port and push them in as far as they will go (B). 5. Slide the fiber clip back into place, locking the fibers into position (C). Mounting Considerations Mount the sensing end of the fiber optic assembly so that the light image is totally contained within the boundaries of the color mark to be sensed. The light image is made smaller by moving the sensing tip closer to the surface of the material to be sensed. When sensing marks on shiny (specular) materials, such as metal, plastic or glossy paper, mount the sensing tip of the fiber at approximately 15° from perpendicular to the material surface to minimize strong direct reflections. Isolate the fiber mounting from vibration. Also, maintain mechanical stability of the surface to be sensed (for example, stabilize web flutter at the sensing point). 2 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 P/N 57945 Rev.

LED Operation in Run Mode Output Conducting LED ON when outputs are active Delay Configuration Indicator LED OFF—No OFF Delay is configured ON—20-ms or 40-ms OFF Delay is configured Light Operate LED ON to indicate Light Operate configuration Dark Operate LED ON to indicate Dark Operate configuration Because either one of these is always ON when the sensor is operating, the combined Light/Dark Operate LEDs also provide a functional Power-ON indication.) 10-Segment Light Bar Indicates signal strength, with respect to the sensing threshold (Switch Point) TEACH Methods The sensitivity of the R55F may be quickly optimized by using one of two available TEACH methods: Static TEACH or Dynamic TEACH. Either may be performed using the push buttons on the sensor, or remotely, using a remote switch or process controller connected to the sensor’s gray wire. Either a sensing window or a specific point may be configured. Remote Configuration The gray wire of the R55F may be connected to a remote switch or to a process controller to: • Set sensitivity via either Static or Dynamic TEACH method • Set output response via Setup mode • Disable the push button functions A remote configuration switch is connected between the gray wire and DC common (see Wiring Diagrams). The switch may be either a normallyopen contact, or an open-collector NPN transistor with its emitter connected to DC common. Remote configuration is accomplished using a specified sequence of input pulses. The duration of each pulse is defined as: 0.04 seconds < T < 0.8 seconds (40 ms < T< 800 ms) Static TEACH Method During a Static TEACH adjustment, the sensor learns the light condition and the dark condition, each one time. Sensitivity is automatically set to place the switch point midway between the two conditions. In addition, the condition configured first becomes the output ON condition. Sensitivity may be adjusted at any time when the sensor is in Run mode by clicking the + and - buttons. Each click translates to 1/2 segment on the signal strength light bar. For best sensing reliability, the light and dark conditions should register equally distant from the switch point on the signal strength light bar. Single-Point TEACH Adjustment The R55F sensor also may be configured using a single specific target, using an alternate Static TEACH adjustment procedure. The sensor will sense only the configured mark and will ignore signals both stronger and weaker. The sensitivity to the configured mark then may be adjusted up or down. Static TEACH Adjustment 1. Enter TEACH mode. Method Action Push Button Press and hold the STATIC button until the LO and DO indicators alternately flash, then release button. Remote Input No action required. Result LO and DO Indicator: Alternately flash green Indicator: ON amber (indicating ready to configure the output ON condition) Light Bar: Turns OFF 2.

Present the output ON sensing condition. b. Single-click the STATIC button. Remote Input a. Present the output ON sensing condition to the fiber sensing end. b. Pulse the remote input once. Indicator: OFF (indicating ready to configure the output OFF condition) Light Bar: Remains OFF 3. Configure the second condition (Output OFF state). Method Action Result Push Button a. Present the output OFF sensing condition. b. Single-click the STATIC button. Contrast accepted: One of the ten segments flashes for three seconds to indicate relative contrast, and then the sensor enters Run mode. Contrast too low: Every other segment flashes for three seconds to indicate low contrast, and the sensor returns to configure Condition #1. Remote Input a. Wait a minimum of 8 seconds after the pulse in step 2. b. Present the output OFF condition. b. Pulse the remote input once. If the sensing contrast is adequate, the sensor flashes one segment of the signal strength light bar for 3 seconds to indicate relative contrast, and then enters Run mode. If contrast is too low, the sensor flashes five segments of the signal strength light bar in unison to warn of unacceptably low contrast, and returns to reconfigure the Output ON condition. Note: For the push button method: 1. The sensor returns to Run mode if either configured condition is not registered within 90 seconds. To cancel TEACH mode, press and hold the push button for ≥ 2 seconds. In either case, the sensor reverts to the previous conditions (that is, exit without save). 2. If the sensing conditions are accepted at the end of configuring the second condition, the signal strength light bar flashes one of its ten segments for three seconds to indicate relative sensing contrast. The higher the flashing segment, the higher the measured sensing contrast. High contrast relates directly to sensing reliability. High contrast sensing applications are most tolerant of sensing variables, such as web flutter or variations in color mark color or print density. Static Single-Point TEACH Adjustment 1. Enter TEACH mode. Method Action Result LO and DO Indicator: Alternately flash green Push Button Press and hold the STATIC button until the LO and DO indicators alternately flash, then release button. Remote Input No action required. Indicator: ON amber (indicating ready to configure the output ON condition) Light Bar: Turns OFF 2. Configure the condition to be sensed. Method Action Result Push Button a. Present the output ON sensing condition. b. Double-click the STATIC button. Remote Input a. Present the output ON sensing condition to the fiber sensing end. b. Pulse the remote input once. c. Wait for a minimum of 0.8 seconds. d. Double-pulse the remote input. LO and DO Indicator: Depends on the condition configured. Indicator: OFF Light Bar: Two center segments are ON if the adjustment was successful. If the configuration is successful, the sensor flashes the middle two LEDs of the bar graph, and returns to Run mode. 3. Push Button: Manually adjust the sensitivity by clicking either the + or - button; the bar graph will flash two segments centered about the sensing point. If the sensitivity is increased (-), the two lighted segments will become closer together, and farther apart if the sensitivity is decreased (+). If the segments do not flash while the sensitivity is being adjusted, the setting has reached its maximum and cannot be adjusted further. Dynamic TEACH Method Use Dynamic TEACH to configure sensitivity during actual machine run conditions. During a Dynamic TEACH adjustment, the sensor samples many color marks against their background material and automatically sets the sensitivity at the optimum level. Dynamic TEACH activates the sensor’s adaptive threshold system, which continuously tracks minimum and maximum signal levels, and automatically maintains centering of the switch point between the light and dark conditions. The adaptive threshold system remains in effect during Run mode to automatically adjust for changes in the light or the dark conditions. When using Dynamic TEACH to configure sensitivity, the output ON state must be assigned to either the light or dark condition using the Setup mode. To adjust Sensitivity at any time when the sensor is in Run mode, click the “+” and “-” buttons. However, when a manual adjustment is made, the adaptive threshold system is disabled (cancelled). 4 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 P/N 57945 Rev. C R55F Fiber-Optic Color Mark Sensors Dynamic TEACH Adjustment 1. Enter Dynamic TEACH Mode. Method Action Result Push Button Press and hold the DYNAMIC button until the LO and DO indicators alternately flash, then release the button. Remote Input Hold the remote input low for > 2 seconds. LO and DO Indicator: Alternately flash green Indicator: OFF Light Bar: Turns OFF 2. Begin configuring the sensor. Method Action Result Push Button Continue to press DYNAMIC button while sampling light and dark sensing conditions. Remote Input Continue holding the remote input low while presenting light and dark sensing conditions. LO and DO Indicator: Alternately flash green Indicator: OFF Light Bar: Remains OFF 3. Finish configuring the sensor. Method Push Button Remote Input Action Result Release the DYNAMIC button when finished sampling light and dark sensing conditions. Contrast accepted: One of the ten segments flashes for three seconds to indicate relative contrast, and the sensor enters Run mode. Contrast too low: Five light bar segments flash for three seconds to indicate low contrast, and sensor reverts to the previously configured conditions. Open the switch when finished configuring. If the sensing contrast is adequate, the sensor flashes one segment of the signal strength light bar for 3 seconds to indicate relative contrast, and then enters Run mode. If the sensing contrast is too low, the sensor flashes five segments of the signal strength light bar in unison to warn of unacceptably low contrast, and returns to Run mode with its previously configured conditions. Note: For the push button method: 1. If the sensing conditions are accepted at the end of Dynamic TEACH adjustment, the signal strength light bar flashes one of its ten segments for three seconds to indicate relative sensing contrast. The higher the flashing segment, the higher the measured sensing contrast. High contrast relates directly to sensing reliability. High contrast sensing applications are most tolerant of sensing variables, such as web flutter or variations in color mark color or print density. 2. If the sensor does not measure enough contrast at the end of Dynamic TEACH adjustment, every other segment of the signal strength light bar flashes in unison for three seconds to warn of unacceptably low contrast, and the sensor returns to Run mode with its previously configured conditions. Setup Mode Setup mode is used to configure sensor output response for: • Light or Dark operate • 20- or 40-millisecond pulse stretcher (OFF delay), if required It is necessary to access Setup mode only if the settings which result from the TEACH configuration are not the settings required for the application. The status LEDs indicate the output response configuration when the sensor is in Run mode, as follows: • LO indicator ON = Output is light operate • DO indicator ON = Output is dark operate • OFF Delay indicator ON = either 20- or 40-millisecond delay is configured • OFF Delay indicator OFF = no output delay is configured To change the output response settings: 1. Press and hold both push buttons simultaneously until the signal strength light bar turns OFF. 2. Click either push button to toggle through the six possible settings indicated as follows: Table 1: Output Configuration Choices Output Configuration Delay Indicator LO Indicator DO Indicator OFF ON OFF Light operate with 20 ms delay Flashing ON OFF Light operate with 40 ms delay ON ON OFF Dark operate with no delay OFF OFF ON Dark operate with 20 ms delay Flashing OFF ON Dark operate with 40 ms delay ON OFF ON Light operate with no delay 3. Press and hold both push buttons until the signal strength light bar turns ON, indicating return to Run mode. Note: If Setup mode configuration is interrupted and remains inactive for 30 seconds, the sensor returns to Run mode with the most recent settings (that is, exit and save current selection).
