PVD Series Parts Verification Sensor

Datasheet
Diffuse or Retroreflective Sensor for Error Proofing of Bin-Picking Operations

• One-component system, easy to mount and even easier to use. Automatically operates in either diffuse or
retroreflective mode, depending on the application
• Automatic setup and adjustment; wide beam pattern provides easy alignment
• Range up to 2 m (6.5 ft) when used with retroreflective target; 400 mm (15.7 in) when used in diffuse mode
• Large job lights on either side of the metal housing can be remotely controlled to initiate user action with a
solid or a blinking green light; job lights turn red to indicate bin-picking errors
• Compact package size; only 30 mm wide × 15 mm deep (1.2 in × 0.6 in)
• Available in 2 lengths to fit existing parts bin sizes and configurations
• Easy DIP-switch adjustments: PNP/NPN output, normally open/normally closed operation, solid/flashing job
light, and gate polarity for job light activation
• Two LEDs indicate power ON and output ON
• Choose 2 m (6.5 ft) unterminated cable or 2 m (6.5 ft) cable with 5-pin Euro-style quick-disconnect
connector
• Heavy-duty protective brackets available
• 12 V dc to 30 V dc operation

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or
death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

Overview
The PVD Series Parts Verification Sensor is a one-component, easy-to-use light screen suited to many part assembly, bin picking (pick-to-
light), and error-proofing applications. The PVD increases task efficiency due to simplified job training, increased quality control (no skipped
components), and reduced rework and inspections. It speeds the resumption of work after breaks and other distractions, and is ideal for
multilingual workplaces where communication is an issue.
The PVD self-contained, solid-state emitter/receiver array is capable of functioning in either diffuse or retroreflective sensing mode. No
configuration is required for this selection. If a retroreflective target is installed opposite the sensor, it will function in retroreflective mode. If
not, it will function in diffuse mode. The sensor’s ongoing self-adjustment feature requires no user adjustment; the sensor adapts to the
sensing conditions after 15 seconds when blocked. Sensor range decreases when no retroreflector is installed.
The DIP-switch-selectable PNP/NPN output interfaces to a system controller, which is pre-programmed for a specific sequence of tasks.
Mounted with its visible red beams stretching across each parts bin, the sensor job light signals the assembler which bins contain items to
be picked in a given operation and in what order they should be picked.
As the assembler takes a part in sequence and breaks the beam, the sensor senses that the part was removed and it sends an output signal
to the controller. The controller then verifies if the correct part was taken and may respond by turning that job light OFF, activating the job
light of the next bin in the sequence. If the assembler reaches into a bin out of sequence, the PVD turns on its output to signal the system
controller and turns on its red job light to signal the assembler that an incorrect pick has occurred.
Standard configuration options are selected by means of a bank of four DIP switches behind a press-on black rubber cover. DIP switch
options include: PNP or NPN output, Normally Open or Normally Closed operation, steady or flashing job light, and job light control input.

1 • To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, PVD100 W/30.
• To order the 150 mm (6 in) cable model with a quick disconnect, add the suffix "W/6IN" to the cabled model number. For example,
PVD100Q W/6IN.
• Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.

Installation
Multiple sensors located farther than the sensor's maximum range from one another are unlikely to cause crosstalk problems. However,
when multiple sensors are mounted in a confined area, take care to avoid crosstalk between them. Alternate the relative position of adjacent
sensors and/or reflectors. Sensors positioned above or below one another should not create crosstalk difficulties. Mount the sensor and
reflector parallel.

Mounting
The wide beam pattern of PVD sensors simplifies their alignment. M4 stainless steel fasteners and
two stainless steel brackets are included with each sensor.
Mount the sensor and its reflector, if used, parallel to one another in the same plane, and their tops
and bottoms aligned.
1. From a common point of reference, make measurements to locate the sensor and its
reflector, if used, in the same plane with their midpoints directly opposite each other.
2. Mount the included brackets to the top and bottom of each sensor, as shown.
3. Mount the sensor in its brackets and the reflector, if used, being careful to position the
sensor's red lenses directly facing the reflector.
4. Measure from one or more reference planes (for example, the building or bin floor) to the
same point(s) on the emitter and receiver to verify their mechanical alignment. (If the
sensors/reflectors are mounted exactly vertical or horizontal, a carpenter’s level may be
helpful. A straightedge or a string extended between the sensor and the bin wall may also
be helpful.)

MODE
5. Also check “by eye” for line-of-sight alignment.
6. Make any necessary final mechanical adjustments, and hand-tighten the bracket hardware.
7. After the electrical hookup is complete, check for beam alignment. If necessary, re-align the
emitter and receiver at that time.

Hardware

Wiring
All models feature integral 2 m (6.5 ft) long, 3.3 mm (0.13 inch) diameter PVC-jacketed cables. Models whose model numbers end in “Q”
are terminated with quick-disconnect (QD) Euro-style 5-pin connectors; other models have unterminated ends. Optional mating QD cables
are available. Either 4-pin or 5-pin QD cables may be used; the center pin of a 5-pin cable (gray wire, pin 5) is unused in normal operation.
Wiring is functionally identical for cabled and quick-disconnect models.
