Optical Sensing and Indication in One Device
The new PVS28 provides visual operator guidance with touchless activation for fast and reliable picking, assembly, and fulfillment applications. It features both optical sensing and intuitive indication in one device. No controller is needed; devices are completely self-contained. Choose from either 100 mm or 225 mm lengths for small and large bins. Green, yellow, and red indicator colors are enabled by default, and seven colors and eight animations are available when using Banner’s free Pro Editor software.
Adjustable Sensing Field Range
A direct replacement of the PVD100 and PVD225, the PVS28 provides maximum flexibility with two easy-to-use adjustable sensing ranges. Diffuse mode has an adjustable range of 20 mm to 500 mm. For those who want a longer range, retroreflective mode enables the PVS28 to sense up to 1000 mm with a reflector. Use the quick disconnect, 150 mm 5-pin M12 for simple installation. The PVS28 comes with three teachable modes—object mode, background mode, and window mode—for fast programming through remote pulses. The teach process is simplified by visual feedback, including mode confirmation and signal strength.
Three Standard Colors for Picking Applications
The PVS28 comes standard with green, yellow, and red indicator colors right out of the box. This is perfect for picking and assembly applications; an input turns on green that tells the operator which bin to pick from, yellow is for an automatic acknowledgement of the pick when a hand or object is detected, and red indicates that the wrong bin was picked from. Additionally, the PVS28 has touchless activation, eliminating possible contamination and the need for physical force to operate while increasing the speed and accuracy of the pick.
Programmable Colors and Animations with Pro Editor
With more colors, come more ways to communicate status. The PVS28 has a discrete input and output and is programmable through Banner’s free Pro Editor software. Users can change indicator colors and animations, plus output logic including delays. Pro Editor makes it easy to add custom colors and animations for enhanced status indication and intuitive operator guidance. Up to a total of seven colors are available for unique identification of operators and statuses. Users can also select from eight animations, such as intensity sweep, 50/50 flash, chase, and more. Simply connect the Pro Converter cable to the device to get started.
