Product Description
MULTI-BEAM: Logic Module. Range: Depends on Sensor; Input: On Power Block. Function: ON & OFF Delay. Interconnecting Pins. Part Number: 16299. MULTI-BEAM® Sensors - Compact modular self-contained photoelectric sensing controls. Banner MULTI-BEAM® sensors are compact modular self contained photoelectric switches. Each MULTI-BEAM consists of three components: scanner block, power block, and logic module. The scanner block contains the complete modulated photoelectric amplifier as well as the emitter and receiver optoelements. It also contains the sensing optics and the housing for the other two modules. The power block provides the interface between the scanner block and the external circuit. It contains a power supply for the MULTI-BEAM plus a switching device to interface the circuit to be controlled. The logic module interconnects the power block and scanner block both electrically and mechanically. It provides the desired timing logic function (if any), plus the ability to program the output for either light- or dark-operate. The emitters of MULTI-BEAM emitter-receiver pairs do not require a logic module. Emitter scanner blocks are supplied with a bladepin to interconnect the scanner block and power block. This modular design, with field-replaceable power block and logic module, permits over 5,000 sensor configurations, resulting in exactly the right sensor for any photoelectric application. There are two families of MULTI-BEAM sensors: 3- and 4-wire, and 2-wire. Three- and four-wire MULTI-BEAMs offer the greatest selection of sensor configurations. They permit either ac or dc operation and offer the fastest response times and the greatest sensing ranges. Two-wire MULTI-BEAMs are used in ac-powered applications where simplicity and convenience of wiring are important. They are physically and electrically interchangeable with heavy-duty limit switches. The circuitry of all MULTI-BEAM components is encapsulated within rugged, corrosion-resistant VALOX® housings, which meet or exceed NEMA 1, 3, 12, and 13 ratings. Most MULTIBEAM scanner blocks include Banner's patented Alignment Indicating Device (AIDâ"¢) which lights a top-mounted LED when the sensor sees its own modulated light source and pulses the LED at a rate proportional to the received light signal. Most MULTI-BEAM sensor assemblies are UL listed and certified by CSA (see power block listings). All MULTI-BEAM components (except power block models 2PBR and 2PBR2) are totally solidstate for unlimited life.. Banner. Banner Engineering. LM5-14.
