K50 Pro Select Optical Touch Button: Four-State Detection Mode

This is a short how-to video that will cover the basics of the Four State Detection mode for the K50 Pro Select Optical Sensor from Banner Engineering.

Begin by connecting the K50 Pro Select to a Windows PC using the Pro-Editor cable kit, and by following the diagram in the manual.

If you're having trouble connecting, check out our troubleshooting guide on the Banner Pro-Editor software.

Plug the Pro-Editor cable into a USB port on your Windows PC and click ‘Connect.’

Click ‘Continue’ and then select ‘Detection.’

Click on the Device Logic dropdown menu and select ‘Four State Full Logic.’

The Four State mode allows up to four animations based on the status of the output signal, and one input signal via the white wire or pin 2.

The K50 Pro Select Optical has 10 customizable animations with 14 color options.

To preview an animation, click the ‘Start’ button.

The Detection window can also be modified in the software.

You can set the Output Switchpoints via the Output SwitchPoint Low and High menus.

When a target is detected between these two switchpoints,

the K50 will send an output signal via the black wire or pin 4.

To preview the sensors measurement readings, click the ‘Play’ icon to enter Live mode.

The Pro-Editor software will pull the sensor's measurements in real time, allowing you to determine the best switchpoints for your application.

To write the configuration to the device, click the ‘Write’ button.

That covers the basics of setting up the Four State Detection mode for the K50 Pro Select Optical Sensor.
