SE-45 TRUWIDE ULTRASONIC SENSOR
USER MANUAL
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION OF TERMS
1. Controller/Processor – The electronics processing unit that controls and drives the actuators that
are attached to it, in response to position feedback from the sensors.
2. MAC Address – (Media Access Control). This is the factory assigned hardware address of a SE-45
Sensor. MAC Address is also referred to as MAC-ID.
3. MAXNET – This is the Fife proprietary serial protocol that is used for communications between SE-45
Sensors and D-MAX devices. This is a deterministic protocol. Therefore, the MAXNET network must
be isolated from other Ethernet networks that do not follow this protocol.
4. Polarity – The direction of movement in response to a command or error signal.
5. Strip/Web – The user’s material that is being guided.
6. Virtual Sensor – This is a term adopted to describe the way the SE-45 Sensor handles web edges. A
virtual sensor simply defines a range within the sensor field of view which represents the signal
scaling to be applied to the edge tracked within the defined range. Each virtual sensor is also polarity-
aware so that it only tracks the edge with the configured polarity. Virtual sensor sizes can be the
entire field of view or can be as small as 10.2mm (0.4in), and since they are just mathematical
ranges, they can overlap in any conceivable manner.

SE-45 TRUWIDE ULTRASONIC SENSOR
USER MANUAL
SE-45 TRUWIDE ULTRASONIC SENSOR GENERAL INFORMATION
The instructions contained in this User Manual are written to support operation of the SE-45 TruWide
Ultrasonic Sensor. Additionally, where applicable, instructions are included for communications with Fife
Controllers/Processors, such as the Fife D-MAX Web Guide Controller. These instructions are to be used
in addition to those instructions provided with the Controller/Processor.
The SE-45 TruWide Ultrasonic Sensor is another Fife advancement in technology that provides superior
guiding performance. It provides analog outputs for backward compatibility, and also an Ethernet digital
interface for advanced functions.
The SE-45 TruWide Ultrasonic Sensor may be used in conjunction with the Fife Controllers/Processors as
a guiding system. If the Sensor is connected to a D-MAX Operator Interface via an Ethernet connection,
multiple menus are available for configuring the Sensor. It may also be used “Stand-Alone” for Web Width
monitoring or Edge Position monitoring.
The SE-45 TruWide Ultrasonic Sensor can be mounted either to a square bar using the optional mounting
brackets, or by utilizing the incorporated mounting holes near the far corners of the sensor housing.
CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
CAUTION:
When using an Ethernet Connection with the SE-45 Sensor, if DHCP is set to ON and the DHCP Server
is not connected or operating at the time the SE-45 Sensor is powered-up, after 30 seconds the SE-45
Sensor adopts the currently stored IP-Address so that the system can initialize. Once the DHCP Server is
connected and operating properly, all D-MAX devices configured for DHCP must be power-cycled to
allow the DHCP Server to assign a new IP-Address.
WARNING:
The SE-45 Sensor may be remotely controlled via a network connection. As with any network-controlled
device, when remote control of the device is implemented, there is the possibility of movement of the
guiding structure when remote commands are issued. Therefore, any time personnel are near the guiding
structure, it is recommended that standard safeguards be taken to prevent injury. During servicing of the
equipment, to prevent injury to personnel, it is recommended that standard Lockout/Tagout procedures
be used.

SE-45 TRUWIDE ULTRASONIC SENSOR
USER MANUAL
SENSOR OPERATION
SE-45 BASIC OPERATION
The SE-45 TruWide Ultrasonic Sensor utilizes scanning technology to detect on-web and off-web
transition edges of web material that is located within the sensor’s field of view. This allows new edges to
be detected at any time. The scanning orientation is from the closed end of the sensor to the open end of
the sensor. The position of the detected edges in relation to either the sensor’s default Proportional Band
or the user configured Proportional Band is then applied to the output signals of the sensor. Both analog
and digital output signals are provided. The following sections describe the default and optional settings
for available sensor parameters.
WARNING: Before changing any of the sensor’s parameters, verify that the Controller that is using this
sensor as a signal source is in either Manual Mode or Servo Center Mode. Otherwise, there is the
possibility of movement of the guiding structure. Therefore, any time personnel are near the guiding
structure, it is recommended that standard safeguards be taken to prevent injury. During servicing of the
equipment, to prevent injury to personnel, it is recommended that standard Lockout/Tagout procedures
be used.
Analog Outputs
There are four configurable Analog Outputs, controlled by three configurable signal sources. The
Analog Outputs can be independently configured to produce any combination of the following signal
ranges. The Analog Output mapping may be configured for each of the sensor’s Jobs. An Ethernet
connection to the sensor is required for configuration changes.
-0-10mA (default)
-0-20mA
-4-20mA
-OFF
Two of the four Analog Outputs, by default, provide edge position (the first on-web edge and the first
off-web edge detected in the scan direction). The other two outputs, by default, provide web width
measurement and are common to each other in function, but are located on two separate connectors
for accessibility in various applications. The function assigned to the Analog Outputs is configurable.
Any signal produced by the SE-45 can be mapped to the Analog Outputs up to and including
duplicating the same signal on all outputs, if desired. See “SE-45 WEB PAGE” for more information
on the available signals. An Ethernet connection to the sensor is required for configuration changes.
The default mode maps the Analog Channels as follows:
-Analog Channel 0 (Analog Output 1) = VS1(Virtual Sensor 1)
-Analog Channel 1 (Analog Output 2) = VS2(Virtual Sensor 2)
-Analog Channel 2 (Analog Outputs 3 & 4) = WW1(web width)
Digital Outputs
The Digital Outputs are transmitted via a proprietary Fife Maxnet Serial Protocol over Ethernet, which
requires an optional Ethernet cable connected to a network device. See “SE-45 WEB PAGE” for more
information on the available signals.
Sensor Jobs
The SE-45 supports storage for up to 8 different Jobs. A Job contains the sensor operation mode
(Single or Multiple Proportional Bands), the Proportional Band size, and all learned Virtual Sensor
5/19/2009 Page 5of 40 Figure Sheet 1-903-A

SE-45 TRUWIDE ULTRASONIC SENSOR
USER MANUAL
parameters. Recalling a Job immediately activates the position and proportional bands for all Virtual
Sensors. The sensor default has only a single Job enabled and is configured as a Single Proportional
Band, which is described below. In order to use more than one Job it must first be enabled in the “Job
Enable” menu. Jobs are selected in the “Select Job” menu.
OPERATION MODES
The SE-45 Sensor may be operated in either of two operation modes: Single Proportional Band or
Multiple Proportional Band. The default operation mode is Single Proportional Band. The Single
Proportional Band mode is used to detect 1 or 2 web edges. In this mode, the full sensor bandwidth (field
of view) is utilized for detection of the web edges. See “SE-45 Single Proportional Band Mode Of
Operation” for more details on this operation mode.
The optional Multiple Proportional Band mode supports up to 8 webs (16 edges). This operation mode
requires an optional Ethernet cable connected to a network device such as a D-MAX Operator Interface.
Sensor parameters must be configured before using this operation mode. See “SE-45 Multiple
Proportional Band Mode Of Operation” for more details on this operation mode.
SE-45 Single Proportional Band Mode Of Operation
The default Single Proportional Band operation mode of the SE-45 TruWide Ultrasonic Sensor is
used for guiding and web width monitoring of a single web. In this mode, two overlapping Virtual
Sensors that span the entire field of view of the sensor, are utilized. The Virtual Sensor 1 (VS1) signal
represents the first on-web transition found (the web edge closest to the closed end of the sensor)
and the Virtual Sensor 2 (VS2) signal represents the first off-web transition (the web edge toward the
open end of the sensor). This is generally used to guide to the center of the web by monitoring the
position of both edges of the web. If additional web edges are present in the sensor’s field of view,
they are detected by the sensor, but they are not normally used. Therefore, Virtual Sensors VS3 thru
VS16 are not normally used in this mode. This mode can also be used to detect only the first on-web
transition found, as would be the case when a web extends beyond the open end of the sensor. The
following graphic illustrates the general nature of this mode of operation, when both edges of a web
are present in the sensor’s field of view. (This graphic is not intended to be an accurate
representation of the physical properties of the sensor).

SE-45 TRUWIDE ULTRASONIC SENSOR
USER MANUAL
SE-45 Multiple Proportional Band Mode Of Operation
The Multiple Proportional Band operation mode of the SE-45 TruWide Ultrasonic Sensor requires an
Ethernet connection to a network device, such as a PC or a Fife D-MAX Operator Interface for
configuration of the sensor. In this mode, the SE-45 Sensor can provide up to 16 Virtual Sensors that
can be located anywhere in the sensor’s field of view. This mode enables additional menu-controlled
features, including Edge Learning, Proportional Band Size, and Virtual Sensor Linking. Also,
jogging or shifting of the Virtual Sensors is available in this operation mode. (See “Jog Virtual
Sensors” under “Specific Procedures”, later in this User Manual). The sensor can track up to 8 webs
(16 edges). All signals are available via Maxnet, or any three signals can be mapped to the SE-45
Analog Outputs. The following graphic illustrates the general nature of this mode of operation. (This
graphic is not intended to be an accurate representation of the physical properties of the sensor).

Edge Learning
Edge Learning, which is required when using the Multiple Proportional Band mode, provides a
method to automatically build Virtual Sensor(s) based on the position of webs which are placed in the
sensor’s field of view. When initiated, Edge Learning configures a Virtual Sensor of the specified
Proportional Band size and proper polarity for each edge found within the sensor’s field of view, at the
moment it is initiated. The center of each Virtual Sensor is located at the respective web edge
position. If, during the learning process, an edge is too close to either end of the sensor’s field of view
to keep the Virtual Sensor centered on the edge, the Virtual Sensor will be shifted to the field of view
limit and will preserve the configured Proportional Band size. The number of Virtual Sensors built
depends on the number of web edges detected. See “Learn Edges” in the “Job Settings” menu
structure in the “MENUS” section of this User Manual.
Proportional Band Size
The size of the Virtual Sensors may be changed if the Multiple Proportional Band mode is being used.
Changes in this parameter are applied to all Virtual Sensors, and takes effect immediately. The
minimum size of the Virtual Sensors is 10.2 mm [0.402 inches]. The maximum size of the Virtual
Sensors is equal to the full sensor field of view. See “Proportional Band Size” in the “Job Settings”
menu structure in the “MENUS” section of this User Manual.
Virtual Sensor Linking
Virtual Sensor Linking provides a method to link the position of two or more Virtual Sensors together.
Then, if one of the Virtual Sensors is shifted, all of the Virtual Sensors that are linked to that Virtual
Sensor will follow it as it shifts. See “Sensor Linking” in the “Job Settings” menu structure in the
“MENUS” section of this User Manual.

2 Parameter2 Mask indicating which virtual sensors are included (if applicable)
3 Parameter3 Shift speed (for shifting operations)
Remote Control
Issuing commands via Modbus/TCP can control various aspects of the sensor operation. Commands are
issued by writing a recognized command and its associated parameters in the respective data words
designated for remote commands. The SE-45 will act once on the initial receipt of a new command and
issue feedback in the designated outgoing data words. Depending on the command, one or more
parameters are involved in the transfer. For multi-word commands, it is a generally recommended
practice to clear the command word, and then write any required command parameters before writing the
actual command. This insures that the proper parameters are sent with the command. When the SE-45
receives a command, it is echoed in the data word RemReqCmd and additional status is updated in the
data word RemReqStatus described below:
RemReqStatus values:
Value Description
1 Command completed.
2 Command is in progress (busy).
-1 Command could not be completed.
-2 Invalid job number specified.
-3 Command not recognized.
-4 Remote control is disabled.
-5 Invalid parameter.
Even though the SE-45 acts only once on the initial receipt of a new command, once the command has
completed, it is recommended that the command and all parameters be cleared. The command word
contains fields that are needed by some commands and ignored by others. The 16-bit command word
fields are as follows:

•00 = All parameters are interpreted using 0 to 65534 scaling. The optional shift speed
is treated as mm/sec x 10.
•01 = Parameters are interpreted as mm x 10. Optional shift speed is interpreted as
mm/sec x 10.
•10 = Parameters are interpreted as inches x 1000. Optional shift speed is interpreted
as inches/sec x 1000.

SPD1The SPD bit specifies the use of a shift speed parameter supplied in Parameter3.
•1 = Use Parameter3 to specify the shift speed.
•0 = Move the sensor(s) immediately to the specified location.
The shift speed in Parameter3 is interpreted according to the UNIT field.
LNK1The LNK bit specifies if one or more virtual sensors should be linked to the target virtual sensor
specified in the VS field. This allows multiple sensors to be moved concurrently relative to the
target sensor.
•1 = Use the mask in Parameter2 to link one or more sensors.
•0 = Parameter2 is not used.
