Pulse Frequency Modulation (PFM)

The Q2X Laser Measurement Sensor can be configured to generate pulses on the white wire (pin 2).
The pulse frequency is proportional to the sensor’s measured distance to represent an analog signal with only a discrete counter. The sensing range of the sensor is scaled from 100 Hz to 600 Hz, where 100 Hz represents the sensor’s near-range limit (20 mm) and 600 Hz represents the sensor’s far-range limit (3000 mm).
An output of 50 Hz represents a loss of signal condition where there is no target or the target is out of the sensor’s range. There is a two second delay before the sensor sets the output to 50 Hz to indicate loss of signal. During the two seconds, the output holds the last PFM value.
The white wire (pin 2) can be configured as a PFM output using either the TEACH button or by sending a parameter via IO-Link. While PFM is enabled, the remote input is disabled.

Enable the PFM Output

Follow these steps to enable the PFM output. This changes the white wire (pin 2) from a remote TEACH input to a PFM output.

Press and hold the TEACH button for two seconds.
The amber and green LEDs flash.
Press the TEACH button three times.
The amber and green LEDs flash three times.
Press the TEACH button six times.
The amber and green LEDs flash six times and the PFM output is enabled.

Disable the PFM Output

Follow these steps to disable the PFM output. This changes the white wire (pin 2) from a PFM output to a remote TEACH input.

Press and hold the TEACH button for two seconds.
The amber and green LEDs flash.
Press the TEACH button three times.
The amber and green LEDs flash three times.
Press the TEACH button five times.
The LEDs flash five times and the PFM output is disabled.
