[Custom] Using a non-IO-Link photoelectric sensor with the Equipment Monitoring Package
Make the settings to replace the IO-Link-enabled E3AS sensor with a non-IO-Link photoelectric sensor to use it with the Equipment Monitoring Package.
NEWEquipment Monitoring Package: Scanning devices in the Dashboard Generator
Replace the E3AS photoelectric sensor with a non-IO-Link sensor to use it with the Equipment Monitoring Package.
(To use an NPN sensor, an NPN/PNP conversion connector is required.)
*For details on connecting a non-IO-Link sensor, refer to the NXR-ILM08C-EIT User’s Manual.
This procedure assumes that the dashboard for the Equipment Monitoring Package has been created and the sensors have been installed.
In the Device List Screen of the Dashboard Generator, click the [IO-Link Master Manual Configuration] button.
Set the ports to which the sensors are connected to [SIO (DI) Mode].
(In the example, the sensors are connected to ports 1 and 3, which are set to [SIO (DI) Mode].)
Ports 1 and 3 are renamed “Sensor 1” and “Sensor 2” respectively.
NEWEquipment Monitoring Package: Registering a dashboard in the Dashboard Generator
In the Package List Screen, click the [Register Dashboard] button on the upper right.
Enter a dashboard name, select a package, and enter the equipment identification information as necessary.
Click the [Select Devices / Set Parameters] button when it becomes active.
For the port to which a proximity sensor is connected, set the abnormality measurement sensor type to [Digital I/O Device].
From the [Device] dropdown menu, select [NXR-ILM08C-EIT (IP: 192.168.250.16)].
In the Register Dashboard Screen, click the [Register] button on the lower right.
Wait approximately 30 seconds then navigate to the Dashboard List Screen to confirm that the registration is completed.
NEWEquipment Monitoring Package: Launching SpeeDBee Synapse
In the Dashboard List Screen, click the [SpeeDBee Synapse] button on the upper right.
Click the [DETAIL] button in the panel and switch [Run] to [Edit].
From the left pane, select [EtherNet/IP Collector] and make settings.
(In the example, the name is set to “Error_signal_collector2”, the host to the IP address of NX102-9000, and the get interval to 100 ms, the variable name to “Ch1Output”, the column name to “data”, and the data type/array size to “BOOL, 1”.)
Connect a flow link from the right side ● (output) of the component you created to the left side ● (input) of the [NXR extract] component.
Click the setting (gear icon) of the [NXR extract] component.
Set the settings for the [Abnormality Measurement Sensor] to “None” and click the [SAVE] button.
The flow links turn yellow when the component is activated and green when it receives sensor inputs.
Click the [System] tab on the upper left, then click the ▶ button of the [Error Manager] component.
*You must configure the error manager for the Chart Display Tool to collect data from SpeeDBee Synapse.
NEWEquipment Monitoring Package: Launching Chart Display Tool
In the SpeeDBee Synapse Screen, click the graph icon on the upper right to start the Chart Display Tool.
Click [Dashboards].
Click the desired dashboard name that has been added. (In the example, it is named “TEST2”.)
Click [Production Result Dashboard].
The KPI is displayed in the graph.
To change the horizontal axis (time range) of the graph, use the [Last 1hours JST] dropdown menu.
To change the data refresh frequency, use the Refresh dropdown menu on the upper right.
In the example, the data range to be displayed is changed to “Last 5 minutes”.
*Graphs of some dashboards including the daily report dashboard are not displayed at the time of launch since the data are output once a day.
