Controller Programming

All models: Via RS-232 PC-compatible computer running Windows® 95, 98, NT, ME, XP or 2000

 

operating system and using Banner supplied software

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sensor Scan Time

All models: 55 microseconds per beam plus processing time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The processing time is dependent on the scan analysis and the number of active outputs.

 

 

 

This timing assumes a straight scan, continuous, and TBB mode

 

 

 

 

 

MAC-1,MACN-1 & MACP-1:1 millisecond processing time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MACV-1 & MACI-1:1.5 milliseconds processing time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MAC16N-1 & MAC16P-1:2.3 to 7 milliseconds processing time

 

 

 

 

System Response Time

Outputs are not active for 5 seconds after system power up. Maximum response time for

 

 

 

 

the system is two sensor scan cycles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A scan cycle includes a sensor scan plus any serial data transmission.

 

 

 

 

 

Serial transmission (if activated) follows every sensor scan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Status Indicators

The following status LEDs are located on the top surface of the module:

 

 

 

 

 

MACV-1 & MACI-1:V OUT (Red) - (also called I OUT) Indicates that the analog outputs are active

 

MAC-1,MACN-1 & MACP-1:OUT 1 (Red) - Indicates that output 1 is energized
