The light screen EZ-Array made by Banner, Turck’s cooperation partner, is temperature resistant between -40 and +70 °C and features two switching and two analogue outputs
04/07 – March 9, 2007
Turck extends its product portfolio of photoelectric sensors with the new measuring light screen EZ-Array by Banner. The light screen has a resolution of 5mm and features two switching and two analogue outputs. The user can choose between PNP and NPN switching outputs, as well as between 0-10V and 4-20 mA analogue outputs. As the only device of its class the EZ-Array resists ambient temperatures between -40 and +70 °C. Thanks to the anodised aluminium housing, the light screen is optimally suited for the application in rough environments.
The two-component light screen enables simple commissioning. The signal processor is entirely integrated in the receiver housing and can be configured via six DIP switches. A 3-digit display and a LED bargraph indicate the status and the orientation of the emitter and the reciever. If required, the configuration can also be implemented with the delivered software. For this purpose the same RS485 interface is used as for the data transmission in the Modbus-RTU protocol. As the signal processor unit is integrated entirely in the receiver housing, an external controler is not necessary.
The EZ-Array can be adjusted to nearly all applications above the 5 mm resolution limit. The available operating modes are the detection of the first, last or middle blocked beam, the number of blocked beams, the number of blocks, inverting and blanking functions. Equipped with these functions the device can be used for hole detection, contour measuring, continuous-path control or object scanning.

The measuring light screen EZ-Array is perfectly suited for hole detection (see photo), sizing, product profiling, edge and centre guiding, slack monitoring or parts counting |
