Procedure: ● Set up 4 two-dimensional primary loops (2 pairs) around the part of the machine containing wireless proximity switches in a way that always the two opposite primary loops roughly have the same size and geometry. ● Set up the primary loops rectangular to each other.

● The values given in the following table are theoretical values intended for the planning of a machine/installation with wireless proximity switches. During commissioning and acceptance these values have to be verified by corresponding measurements and, if necessary, the distances have to be corrected.

Installation Guidelines Technical Description Wireless proximity switches Wireless proximity switches consist of a communication module and a sensor head which can be selected from a range of different designs and properties depending on the application. 2.1 Sensor head properties The sensor heads operate as inductive proximity switches and therefore have standardized properties and operating conditions.
Page 15
Depending on the axial distance to the active sensor face, a radial motion of the actuator results in an other switching distance than an axial motion. This is shown in the standardized pick-up characteristic curve for inductive proximity switches which is also valid for sensor heads.

Fig. 2.2: Standardized pick-up characteristic curve for inductive proximity switches Derating factor The derating factor which is normally smaller than 1 specifies how much the switching distance reduces if actuators made of stainless steel, aluminum or copper are used.

Technical Description 2.4 Flush mounting and non flush mounting The product range of wireless proximity switches includes flush mountable as well as non flush mountable sensor heads. Flush mountable sensor heads can be mounted in the machine in a way that they are particularly well protected against mechanical damages.

Planning and Installation Guidelines Technical Description Input module The input module provides connection between the wireless proximity switches and the machine control via an ABB FieldBusPlug. It makes the following information available for the machine control: Status of each sensor...
For the connection of the input module to the machine control, connect a FieldBusPlug from the ABB FBP system to the FBP socket on the left side of the device. Power supply is done via the screw-type terminals at the bottom side of the device.
The RUN-mode is the normal continuous operation mode of the input module, in which no changes are made to the system. In this mode of operation • the display shows the data and conditions of the wireless proximity switches configured in the system sensor number (001 ... 120)
After successful password entry, the module releases the desired menu. If a wrong number is entered, the password inquiry is repeated. *) All sensor information and cell-ID identifications are examples; XXX stands for blinking display Wireless Proximity Switches / Issue: 09.2004 Planning and Installation Guidelines...
By simultaneousles pressing ESC and OK, one changes from the RUN mode into the CFG mode. As long as less than 120 wireless proximity switches are configured in the input module, in this mode of operation further sensors can be added to the existing system.
Page 27
Installation Guidelines Technical Description An input module can automatically seize all configured wireless proximity switches in its reception range, which carry its Cell-ID. In this way, when exchanging the input module, a very fast recognition of all the wireless proximity switches installed in a machine by the new input module is possible, and can be stored as valid configuration.
By simultaneously pressing ESC and OK from within the RUN mode, the CFG mode is reached. From there the DEL mode is reached via \/. As long as in the input module wireless proximity switches are configured, sensors from the existing configuration can be deleted in this mode of operation. If the communication to a configured sensor is disturbed (Err), it can be nevertheless deleted from the configuration of the input module.

During comissioning, each input module needs an individual Cell-ID range identification between 1 and 60. This Cell-ID range identification guarantees that also in large installations with more than 120 wireless proximity switches (i.e. also more than one input module) the proximity switches communicate reliably with their assigned input module.
