Description
E3NX-FA
High-performance digital fiber amplifier
The E3NX-FA amplifier is best choice for most challenging fiber applications in terms of long sensing distance, minute object detection or high speed processes.
- Easy teaching by Smart tuning within a few seconds
- New N-Smart technology provides significant improvement for sensing distance, minimum object detection and speed
- Easy and transparent information about sensor status by Solution Viewer and Change Finder function
- EtherCAT Communication unit for high-speed field bus connectivity
Features
N-Smart technology
The GIGA RAY 2S high-efficiency coupling element achieves a clear signal and wide dynamic range. It is joined by the new “Smart Noise Reduction” light reception algorithm and the high-speed, high-precision “N-Core” IC.These three technologies improve the basic performance of E3NX-FA resulting in signal-to-noise ratio that is 2.5 times higher compared to conventional models.
Dynamic Power Control
Dynamic Power Control (DPC) automatically compensates differences in the incident level caused by dirt or vibration. In addition an alarm output signal is sent for predictive maintenance, if the sensor has reached compensation limit.
Timer functions
Adjust the output signal length and timing:
- T1 ON-delay set time
- T2 OFF-delay set time
- T1 and T2 can be set separately
