Amplifier Function

NPN/PNP Output Selection (judgment selection)

Both NPN and PNP outputs are supported. The outputs are set the first time the user turns on the power. These settings can subsequently be changed. Judgments are output as HIGH, GO, or LOW.

Bank Function

The bank function can register up to four patterns of specific settings.* For example, in response to a measurement target changeover, this function allows the user to easily switch between the patterns of registered settings.
* HIGH setting value, LOW setting value, binarization level, shift target value, etc.

Analogue Output Selection

The following four types of analogue outputs can be selected.The output is selected the first time the user turns on the power.

Communication Unit

EtherNet/IP compatible Communication Unit DL-EP1

The DL-EP1 is an EtherNet/IP compatible adaptor which can read and write the data from the connected sensor amplifier from a PLC (programmable controller). It supports cyclic communication as well as UCMM and Class 3 (explicit message communication). Data can be exchanged without a ladder program. The sensor amplifier settings and status can be read and written at random timing, and commands can be issued to the sensor amplifier.

EtherNet/IP compatible Communication Unit DL-EP1

DeviceNet supported Communication Unit DL-DN1

The DL-DN1 operates as a slave unit of DeviceNet communication. Using DeviceNet communications, the sensor amplifiers and other units connected to the DL-DN1 can transmit their ON/ OFF control signals and measured values as communication data to PLC or other equipment.
The DL-DN1 supports I/O communication (polling) and explicit messaging. I/O polling enables data communication without the need of a ladder program. Explicit messaging allows for reading/writing sensor amplifier parameters and issuing commands to the sensor amplifiers.

DeviceNet supported Communication Unit DL-DN1

RS-232C communication unit DL-RS1A

Use this unit when outputting digital data to an external device with RS-232C signals. A single communication unit can retrieve data from up to four IB Series display units.

BCD output unit DL-RB1A

Use this unit when retrieving numerical data from the IB Series to an external device as digital data. A single communication unit can retrieve data from up to four IB Series display units in BCD.

Lineup

The ◎ mark indicates that wire reduction and the creation of a Communication Program is not necessary.
