WARNING:
Do not use this device for personnel protection
Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on)
or de-energized (off) output condition.

T30RWOverview
TheT30RWisanindustrialradarsensorthatuseshigh-frequencyradiowavesfromaninternalantenna.Itdetectshigh-
dielectric targets, such as metal or large amounts of water, and lower-dielectric materials, such as wood, rock, or organic
material. The sensor can be configured with software, IO-Link, or remote input wires to sense objects up to a specific
distance, ignoring objects beyond this distance (background suppression). Or the sensor can be taught a reference point to
detect the presence or absence of an object (retroreflective). The redundant sealing ensures the sensors can survive the
harshestenvironments,includinghightemperature,high-pressurewashdown.

TheT30RWcangeneratepulseswhosefrequencyareproportionaltothesensor'smeasureddistance,therebyproviding
a method for representing an analog signal with only a discrete counter. The sensing range of the sensor is scaled from
100 Hz to 600 Hz. 100 Hz equals the near range limit of the sensor, and 600 Hz equals the far sensing range limit. An
output of 50 Hz or 650 Hz (user defined in the software) represents a loss of signal condition where there is no target or
the target is out of range. This output can be tied directly to a number of Banner lights for visual feedback without the
needforacontroller.

IO-Link Interface
IO-Link is a point-to-point communication link between a master device and sensor. Use IO-Link to parameterize sensors and
transmitprocessdataautomatically.
ForthelatestIO-Linkprotocolandspecifications,seewww.io-link.com.
Each IO-Link device has an IODD (IO Device Description) file that contains information about the manufacturer, article
number, functionality etc. This information can be easily read and processed by the user. Each device can be unambiguously
identifiedviatheIODDaswellasviaaninternaldeviceID.DownloadtheT30RW'sIO-LinkIODDpackage(p/nKey definition
for "{keyrefName}" not found in the DITA map.)fromBannerEngineering'swebsiteatwww.bannerengineering.com.
BannerhasalsodevelopedAddOnInstruction(AOI)filestosimplifyease-of-usebetweentheT30RW, multiple third-party
vendors' IO-Link masters, and the Logix Designer software package for Rockwell Automation PLCs. Three types of AOI files
for Rockwell Allen-Bradley PLCs are listed below. These files and more information can be found
atwww.bannerengineering.com.
Process Data AOIs—Thesefilescanbeusedalone,withouttheneedforanyotherIO-LinkAOIs.ThejobofaProcessData
AOI is to intelligently parse out the Process Data word(s) in separate pieces of information. All that is required to make use of
this AOI is an EtherNet/IP connection to the IO-Link Master and knowledge of where the Process Data registers are located
foreachport.
Parameter Data AOIs—ThesefilesrequiretheuseofanassociatedIO-LinkMasterAOI.ThejobofaParameterDataAOI,
when working in conjunction with the IO-Link Master AOI, is to provide quasi-realtime read/write access to all IO-Link

The remote input provides limited programming options and is Active High. This can be configured for Active Low in
theBanner Radar ConfigurationsoftwarebychangingtheSensor Polarity. For Active High, connect the gray input wire to V+
(10 V DC to 30 V DC), with a remote switch connected between the wire and V+. For Active Low, connect the gray input wire
