Overview
The K50Z is an optical sensor that operates on the principals of time-of- flight technology to measure many points in the field of view. These points are  used to calculate and track meaningful values such as nearest distance or average distance. The sensor uses infrared light that is reflected back to an imager with 64 measurement points to evaluate targets in a large area. The sensor can be configured by IO-link or in the Banner Measurement Sensor software. It has two outputs that can be set up independently of one another.

Installation Instructions

Installation Best Practices
For most applications, mount the sensor perpendicular to the target area and as close to center as possible. If perpendicular mounting is not possible, keep the mounting angle to a minimum. When using a 3D ROI, a pixel is considered inside when the midpoint has crossed into the 3D ROI area. For this reason, it is best practice to slightly under size the 3D ROI away from container edges or walls.

• A = Pixel one detected; pixel two not detected because mid-point is outside the 3D ROI, pixel three not detected because it is out of the 3D ROI (see “Discrete 1 Tab” on page 12)
• B = Pixels one and two detected because both midpoints are inside the 3D ROI; pixel three is not detected because it is outside of the 3D ROI
• C = Pixels one, two, and three detected because the target is closer and all pixel midpoints are inside the 3D ROI (see “Field of View Charts” on page 21)

Wiring
Quick disconnect wiring diagrams are functionally identical.

Hysteresis Mode: Select User Defined or Dynamic. Selecting Dynamic automatically sets the hysteresis depending on the target measurement.

Pulse Pro/PFM Settings
Available when Output Mode is set to Pulse Pro/PFM. The K50Z can generate pulses whose frequency are proportional to the sensor’s measured distance, thereby providing a method for representing an analog signal with only a discrete counter. The sensing range of the sensor is scaled from 100 Hz to 600 Hz. 100 Hz equals the near range limit of the sensor, and 600 Hz equals the far sensing range limit. An output of 50 Hz or 650 Hz (user defined in the software) represents a loss of signal condition where there is no target or the target is out of range. This output can be tied directly to a number of Banner lights for visual feedback without the need for a controller.

• 100 Hz: Define the near sensing range limit of the Pulse Pro range.
• 600 Hz : Define the far sensing range limit of the Pulse Pro range.
• Loss–of–Signal : Sets the value used by the sensor during a loss of signal. When a signal is restored, measurement resumes.
• Hold last value —The Discrete 2 Output holds the last value indefinitely during a loss of signal.
• 50 Hz —The Discrete 2 Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal.
• 650 Hz —The Discrete 2 Output switches to this value 2 seconds after a loss of signal.

Configuring a Sensor

Banner Measurement Sensor Software
Use the Banner Measurement Sensor software and Pro Converter Cable to set up the sensor. For more information visit www.bannerengineering.com/us/en/products/sensors/software/banner- measurement- sensorsoftware.html.

Remote Input
The remote input provides limited programming options and is Active High. This can be configured for Active Low in the Banner Measurement Sensor software by changing the Sensor Polarity. For Active High, connect the gray input wire to V+ (10 V DC to 30 V DC), with a remote switch connected between the wire and V+. For Active Low, connect the gray input wire to ground (0 V DC) with a remote switch connected between the wire and ground.

The remote input wire is disabled by default. Pulse the remote input wire 10 times or use the Banner Measurement Sensor software to enable the feature. After enabling the remote input feature, pulse the remote input according to the diagram and the instructions provided in this manual. Remote teach can also be performed using the button on the Pro Converter Cable. The length of the individual programming pulses is equal to the value T: 0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds. Exit remote programming modes by setting the remote input Low for longer than 2 seconds or by waiting for 60 seconds.

Remote Setup
Use Remote Setup to set the Teach mode. Changing Teach mode does not immediately change the switch point location, but will affect the behavior of the next remote Teach.

IO-Link Interface

IO-Link is a point-to-point communication link between a master device and sensor. Use IO-Link to parameterize sensors and transmit process data automatically. For the latest IO-Link protocol and specifications, see www .io-link.com.

• Each IO-Link device has an IODD (IO Device Description) file that contains information about the manufacturer, article number, functionality etc. This information can be easily read and processed by the user. Each device can be unambiguously identified via the IODD as well as via an internal device ID. Download the K50Z’s IO-Link IODD package (p/n 238988) from
• Banner Engineering’s website at www.bannerengineering.com.
• Banner has also developed Add On Instruction (AOI) files to simplify ease-of-use between the K50Z, multiple third-party vendors’ IO-Link masters, and the Logix Designer software package for Rockwell Automation PLCs. Three types of AOI files for Rockwell Allen-Bradley PLCs are listed below. These files and more information can be found at www.bannerengineering.com.
• Process Data AOIs —These files can be used alone, without the need for any other IO-Link AOIs. The job of a Process Data AOI is to intelligently parse out the Process Data word(s) in separate pieces of information. All that is required to make use of this AOI is an EtherNet/IP connection to the IO-Link Master and knowledge of where the Process Data registers are located for each port.
• Parameter Data AOIs —These files require the use of an associated IO-Link Master AOI. The job of a Parameter Data AOI, when working in conjunction with the IO-Link Master AOI, is to provide quasi-realtime read/write access to all IO-Link parameter data in the sensor. Each Parameter Data AOI is specific to a given sensor or device.
• IO-Link Master AOIs —These files require the use of one or more associated Parameter Data AOIs. The job of an IO-Link
  Master AOI is to translate the desired IO-Link read/write requests, made by the Parameter Data AOI, into the format a specific IO-Link Master requires. Each IO-Link Master AOI is customized for a given brand of IO-Link Master. Add and configure the relevant Banner IO-Link Master AOI in your ladder logic program first; then add and configure Banner IO-Link Device AOIs as desired, linking them to the Master AOI as shown in the relevant AOI documentation.

Reset the Sensor to Factory Defaults
Reset the sensor to factory default settings using one of two methods.
NOTE : If a factory reset is performed through the Banner Measurement Sensor software, the remote input wire becomes disabled (factory default setting). If the sensor is returned to factory default settings by using the remote input wire, the input wire remains enabled and the rest of the settings are restored to factory defaults. To reset using the Banner Measurement Sensor software, go to Sensor › Factory Reset. The sensor indicators flash once, the sensor is reset back to the factory default settings, and a confirmation message displays. To reset using the remote input, eight-pulse the remote input to apply the factory default settings.
