Pro Editor Configuration
Banner’s Pro Editor software offers an easy way to configure Pro Series- enabled touch and indicator devices, allowing users full control of device states. The easy-to-use configuration software provides a variety of tools and capabilities to solve a wide range of applications. Configure any Pro Series- enabled device using the free Pro Editor software, available for download at www.bannerengineering.com/proeditor.
Machine and Work Cell—Choose colors and animations to create up to seven discretely controlled illumination and status  states. Spans functionality from single-segment to two-colored animations.
Single Segment—The single segment option shows the work light in one solid color. The input wires are used to change  colors. Flashing and intensity options are available. Presets are available for common configurations, which can be adjusted as desired.
End Status—The end status option shows the inside (LED) section of the work light in one color and the ends of the light  in another. The size of the two sections are customizable. The input wires are used to change color states. Flashing and intensity options are available.
Process Visualization—The process visualization option enables a choice of colors, animations, speeds, and intensities to  provide visual information that corresponds to equipment or process status. Single-color illumination states are also available.
Tower Light—Choose colors, intensities, and animations to create a discretely controlled two or three-segment indicator. The  segments are controlled independently with input wires.
Mobile—Choose colors and animations to create states that can be used for advanced and intuitive indication on mobile  equipment.
Basic Warning—Choose colors, intensities, and animation to create a discretely controlled three-segment indicator for  communication of equipment status. The segments are controlled independently with input wires.
Advanced Warning—Create up to seven discretely controlled status indicators, and use presets for Loading and  Emergency Stop conditions. Colors, animations, speeds, and intensities provide equipment status.
Timer—The timer option uses the work light as a timer, counting up or counting down. Set the total time and choose up to  four thresholds to change the visual appearance of the light as time advances. The timer starts when 12 V DC to 30 V DC is applied to the timer run input wire (pin 2 or white wire), and paused when left floating or tied to ground. The timer resets when 12 V DC to 30 V DC is applied to the reset wire (pin 4 or black wire). The timer automatically resets when it reaches the final count. A steady global background or threshold markers can be applied, from which color and intensity can be defined.
Counter—The counter option counts up or down by converting input pulses into movement of LEDs along the length of the  light based on up to four thresholds that define colors, intensity, and flashing. When the rising edge of a 12 V DC to 30 V DC pulse is applied to the counter input wire (pin 2 or white wire), the count increases by one. The user can choose whether the counter resets or the count decreases by one when 12 V DC to 30 V DC is applied to the control input wire (pin 4 or black wire). The counter automatically resets when it reaches the final count. A steady global background or threshold markers can be applied, from which color and intensity can also be defined.
Pick Put Build—Choose colors and animations to create states that can be used to guide operators, signal material status,  enable light-guided assembly, create pick-to-light operations, and enable kitting operations.
Basic Segment—Choose colors, intensities, and animation to create a discretely controlled two or three-segment indicator  for communication of processes.
Advanced Segment—Enable up to seven discretely controlled segments to be used as individual indication states. Only  one segment can be enabled at once.
Distance—The distance mode uses the light to display colored LEDs proportional to a PFM (pulse frequency modulation) or  PWM (pulse width modulation) input and set range or with discretely controlled levels.
Distance—The light adjusts position and color continuously based on the PFM or PWM input value (pin 2 or white wire)  and defined color, flash, and intensity in up to four thresholds while maintaining an optional steady background for LEDs outside the active threshold range. Threshold markers can be applied, from which color and intensity can also be defined.
The PFM signal frequency range can be from 100 to 10,000 Hz. The PWM duty cycle range can be from 0 to 100%.  Coarse Distance—Choose colors, intensities, and flash patterns to create up to seven discretely controlled levels based  upon input wiring logic states for simple distance and level indication.
Gauge—The gauge option controls the color and position of a band of LEDs based on a defined PFM or PWM input value  (pin 2 or white wire) and range. The width of the band is defined as a percentage of the total lighted length. The light adjusts the position and color of the band and background continuously based on the input signal and defined color, flash, intensities, and animations in upper, lower, and center thresholds. Threshold markers can be applied, from which color and intensity can also be defined. The PFM signal frequency range can be from 100 to 10,000 Hz. The PWM duty cycle range can be from 0 to 100%.
Animation Settings

(normal, strobe, three pulse, SOS, or random)
Two Color Flash| Color 1 and Color 2 flash alternately at the defined speed, color intensities, and pattern (normal, strobe, three pulse, SOS, or random)
Two Color Shift| Color 1 and Color 2 flash alternately on adjacent LEDs at defined speed and color intensities
Ends Steady| Color 1 defines the center 75% of the light. Color 2 defines the 12.5% of the light on each end. Center and ends are on steady. Center proportion can be defined in End Status mode
Ends Flash| Color 1 defines the center 75% of the light. Color 2 defines the 12.5% of the light on each end. The ends will flash at defined speed and pattern. Center proportion can be defined in End Status mode
Scroll| Color 1 defines a band 20% of the length of the light that moves in one direction up or down against the background of Color 2 at the defined speed and color intensities
Center Scroll| Color 1 defines a band 10% the length of the light that moves from the center of the light to the ends against the background of Color 2 at the defined speed and color intensity
Bounce| Color 1 defines a band 20% of the length of the light that moves up and down between the top and bottom of the light against the background of Color 2 at the defined speed and color intensities
Center Bounce| Color 1 defines a band 10% the length of the light that moves from the center of the light to the ends and back against the background of Color 2 at the defined speed and color intensity
Intensity Sweep| Color 1 continuously increases and decreases intensity between 0% to 100% at defined speed and color intensity
Two Color Sweep| Color 1 and Color 2 define the end values of a line across the color gamut. The light continuously displays a color by moving along the line at the defined speed and color intensity
Color Spectrum| The light scrolls through the 13 predefined colors with a different color on each LED at the defined speed, Color 1 intensity, and direction
Single End Steady| Color 1 is solid ON at the defined intensity on one end of the device
Single End Flash| Color 1 flashes at the defined speed, color intensity, and pattern (normal, strobe, three pulse, SOS, or random) on one end of the device

By default, when the sub-applications for Machine and Work Cell are selected, Pro Editor opens I/O State configuration  in Advanced. Three I/O states are available:

the following override control:
•   Pin 4 (Black) overrides Pin 1 (Brown)
•   Pin 2 (White) overrides Pins 1 and 4 (Brown and Black)
Advanced| I/O state with full seven state options for maximum configuration. Configurations made in Advanced assign binary wiring combinations of all valid inputs to each state.
I/O Block| Three state control for use with I/O block. Configurations made in I/O Block assign states to the black, white, and combination of black and white wires for use with I/O blocks for which power (brown) and common (blue) are always on for five pin connections.
