CONCEPTIndustry leading stabilityDecrease the variation among fiber sensorsHigh stability!“Why are the values different even for the same detection?” “If we try to forcibly unify all the displayvalues of incident light intensity, we will not be able to read the actual changes.”SUNX focuses on the variation among fiber sensors and aims for absolute digitalization.When the FX-500 series is used together with our super quality fiber, the incident light intensityvariation among units is decreased to only 1/4 of that of conventional models.By being close to absolute values instead of modified digital values, changes in detection that couldnot be found in the past can now be monitored.Super quality fiber+Threshold valueFX-500 seriesIncident light intensity1Previous amplifierThreshold value1234Incident light intensityDigital control is essentially achievedStability of the incident light intensity is improvedby 4 times*.Values of incident light intensity stay closetogether even after replacing an amplifier.* Using a small diameter fiber (fiber core ø0.5 mm ø0.020 in).If using a standard fiber (fiber core ø1.0 mm ø0.039 in), the variationwill be double of that of conventional models.234Large variation in incidentlight intensity.Incident light intensitiesare stable.Incident light intensity1 2 3 4Requires setting differentthreshold values for eachsensor.1/4incident lightintensity variation[from previous]1 2 3 4Can control by usingjust one threshold value.Specifying just one valuein an operation manualis possibleIn the case where multiple fiber sensors areinstalled under the same operatingconditions, the incident light intensities arenearly identical to each other, allowing forthe specification of one threshold across allsensors.Maintenance is easy onstabilized fiber sensorsBecause the incident light intensity isstable, the same threshold value can beused even when an amplifier is replaced.Also, copying of settings is easy when usedtogether with optical communication.Stability in incident lightintensity and confidence inbeam adjustmentWhen setting up fiber sensors in a row in thesame layout, all incident light intensities willdisplay nearly identical values once beams arealigned. This helps to raise installationprecision and prevent trouble from occurringbefore equipment is turned on.Improved fiber coupling efficiencyand suppressed variation amongunitsIn each unit we have accurately aligned the central axis ofthe fiber with the central axis of the emitted light, whichcreates a high coupling efficiency that helps to reducevariation among units.Active coupling emission deviceFiber insertion guideFiber coreAll sensors are aligned individually.Fiber central axisBeamcentralaxis01 FX-500SERIES* Illustration is image only.

FUNCTIONSelectable interference preventionIn addition to the automatic interference prevention function which is enabledthrough the optical communication of cascade connected amplifiers, analternate frequency interference prevention function is also incorporated. Soeven for layouts where optical communication cannot be carried out,switching of emission frequencies allows interference prevention.Automatic interference prevention(When amplifiers are cascade connected)Alternate frequency interference prevention(When amplifiers cannot be cascade connected)An optical communication function allowssensors to be adjusted simultaneouslyThe optical communication function allows the data that is currently set tobe copied and saved all at once for all amplifiers connected together fromthe right side. This greatly reduces troublesome setup tasks and makessetup much smoother.Optical communicationEmission frequency 1Emission frequency 2Emission frequency 3Single copy & save operationfor all amplifiers* Refer to specifications for details of number of sensors allowed in interference prevention.No need to specify a main unit or sub unitAll FX-500 amplifiers can be used as either a main unit or a sub unit.

FX-500PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USEWiring• Never use this product as a sensing devicefor personnel protection.• In case of using sensing devices forpersonnel protection, use products whichmeet laws and standards, such as OSHA,ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protectionapplicable in each region or country.• Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding orremoving the amplifi ers.• Note that if a voltage exceeding the reted range isapplied, or if an AC power supply is directly connected,the product may get burnt or damaged.• Note that short-circuit of the load or wrong wiring mayburn or damage the product.• Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines orpower lines, or put them in the same raceway.This can cause malfunction due to induction.• Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.• If power is supplied from a commercial switchingregulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal ofthe power supply is connected to an actual ground.• In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator,inverter motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of thisproduct, connect the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of theequipment to an actual ground.• Make sure to use the quick-connection cable (optional)for the connection of the controller.Extension up to total 100 m 328.084 ft is possible with0.3 mm 2 or more, cable.However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring asshort as possible.• Make sure that stress by forcible bending or pulling is notapplied to the sensor cable joint and fi ber cable.DisclaimerThe applications described in the catalog are all intendedfor examples only.The purchase of our products described in the catalog shallnot be regarded as granting of a license to use our productsin the described applications.We do NOT warrant that we have obtained someintellectual properties, such as patent rights, with respectto such applications, or that the described applications maynot infringe any intellectual property rights, such as patentrights, of a third party.Others• This product has been developed / produced for industrialuse only.• The specifi cation may not be satisfi ed in a strongmagnetic fi eld.• The ultra long distance (U-LG, HYPR) mode is morelikely to be affected by extraneous noise since thesensitivity of that is higher than the other modes. Makesure to check the environment before use.• Do not use during the initial transient time (H-SP, FAST,STD: 0.5 sec., LONG, U-LG, HYPR: 1 sec.) after thepower supply is switched ON.• This product is suitable for indoor use only.• Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.• Make sure that the product does not come in contact withoil, grease, organic solvents such as thinner, etc., strongacid or alkaline.• This product cannot be used in an environmentcontaining infl ammable or explosive gases.• Never disassemble or modify this product.• This product adopts EEPROM. Settings cannot be done100 thousand times or more because of the EEPROM'slifetime.17
