Sensor Controllers  
Personal Computer  
(1) Supports Connection to Up to 9 Sensor Controllers  
Logic operations can be performed on gang-mounted controllers. Information can be  
collected and logic operations performed on information from up to nine Sensor  
Controllers, which makes the Multi-Controller ideal for multi-point measurement  
applications.  
(2) Wide Range of Logic Operation Functions  
Dedicated expressions such as sandwiched thickness, step and average are  
provided in the setup menu. Up to four types of expressions can be stored to memory  
as “tasks,” which allows you to easily achieve multi-point measurement applications  
for performing advanced operations such as measurement of workpiece waviness,  
flexure, twist, and warp.

(1) Power supply  
This connects the 24 VDC (±10%) power supply. When using a Multi-Controller with  
a PNP output, the power supply terminal is also the common I/O terminal for all I/O  
except for the linear output.Supply power from a DC power supply unit that has a  
countermeasure (safety ultra-low voltage circuit) built-in for preventing high voltages  
from occurring.  
Recommended power supply unit p.1-7  
Wire the power supply separately from other devices. Wiring them together or placing  
them in the same duct may cause induction, resulting in malfunction or damage.  
Supply power simultaneously to all gang-mounted controllers to be used.  
When power is turned ON individually, the channels will not be recognized normally.  
(2) GND  
The GND terminal is the 0V power supply terminal. When using a Multi-Controller  
with an NPN output, the GND terminal is also the common I/O terminal for all I/O  
except for the linear output.  
(3) OUT0 (HIGH output)  
This outputs judgment results (HIGH).  
(4) OUT1 (PASS output)  
This outputs judgment results (PASS).  
(5) OUT2 (LOW output)  
This outputs judgment results (LOW).

(6) OUT3 (ENABLE output)  
This turns ON when the Multi-Controller is ready for measurement. This output is  
interlocked with the ENABLE indicator.  
(7) OUT4 (BUSY output)  
This turns ON during sampling with the hold function enabled. It allows you to check  
whether or not the self-trigger is functioning correctly. It also turns ON during bank  
switching.  
(8) Linear output  
The linear output outputs a current or voltage in accordance with the measured  
value.  
(9) Linear GND  
The linear GND terminal is the 0V terminal for the linear output.  
This ground wire must be grounded separately from the other ground wires.  
Always ground the linear output terminal even when linear output is not used.

Description  
External trigger (timing) input  
This timing input is for signal input from external devices. Use it for hold  
function timing.  
Reset input  
This resets all executing measurements and outputs. While a reset is  
being input, judgment output conforms to the non-measurement set-  
ting. If this reset input switches ON while the hold function is used, the  
state in effect before the hold function was set will be restored.  
Zero reset input  
Bank input A, B  
This is used to execute and clear a zero reset.  
This is used for switching banks. Specify the bank No. in combinations  
of A and B.  
For details on the timing charts of external I/O, refer to User’s Manual for the Sensor Controller.

In the example below, the difference between the points on both edges (input A point and  
input C point) of the workpiece, the average distance value, and the measured value (input  
B point) of the center is taken to be the warp amount. Expression: Z=B- (A+C)/2. In the  
actual setting, calculation mode “K+mX+nY” is used.

external device.  
• Are all cables connected correctly?  
• Is the signal line disconnected?  
• Are reset inputs short-circuited?  
No input signal received  
• Are all cables connected correctly?  
• Is the signal line disconnected?  
No communications with per-  
sonal computer

Strange linear output levels  
• Is the voltage/current switch on the bottom of the Sensor Controller p.1-8  
set to the correct position?  
• Has the correct selection (voltage/current) been made in the focus  
settings? Linear output levels can be fine-tuned.

• Has a timing input been made while the hold function is enabled  
and the trigger type has been set to [EXT]?  
• If the hold function is enabled and the trigger type is [SELF-UP] or  
[SELF-DOWN], has the self-trigger level been set to an appropri-  
ate value?  
The measured values fluctuate  
and are not stable depending on  
day and time.  
• This problem may be due to temperature characteristics. Execute  
zero reset periodically using the standard object to correct this  
problem.

• Scaling has been attempted when the measured value is  
outside the measuring range.  
• When two-point scaling has been executed, the distance  
between the measured values for the two points is not 1%  
or more of the rated measuring range.  
When focusing is executed, an error appears and Monitor focus settings cannot be made when the distance

Term  
Explanation  
Measured value  
The measured value is the operation result displayed on the main display of the Multi-Con-  
troller in the RUN and TEACH modes. It is the value when each of the currently set func-  
tions (e.g. hold) has been processed.  
Present value  
The present value is the current measurement result for the target Multi-Controller.  
It is the value before each of the currently set functions (e.g. hold) has been processed.  
Press the LEFT or RIGHT Key in the RUN mode to display the present value on the sub-  
display.  
Judgment output  
“Judgment output” is a general term for the HIGH, PASS, and LOW outputs. Judgment out-  
puts are made in the RUN or TEACH mode based on the display values and the threshold,  
hysteresis width, and timer settings.  
SmartMonitor Zero This is software that runs on a personal computer.  
This software enables communication with ZS-MDC, sets the measurement conditions of  
the Multi-Controller and gang-mounted Sensor Controllers, saves setting data, and dis-  
plays measurement results as a graph.
