gettingasophisticatedphotocellandahigh‐techscanneratthesametime.
ThetypePsensorheadisanareaphotocellmadeupofanemitterandreceiver.Thesensordetects
objectsassmallas0.1inch(2.5mm).Theemitterandthereceivercanbemountedupto100feet
(30m)apart.TheSIM‐Pmodulehasmultipleoutputs:aPNPcontact,aNPNcontact,anRS‐232serial
communicationport,anRS‐422serialcommunicationportandtwoanalog4‐20mAoutputs.
Dimensionoftheobjectpresentinthefieldofviewanditspositionareavailablethroughtheanalog
andtheseriallinkoutputs.TheNPNandPNPoutputsareusedforthepresenceofanobject.The
modulealsohasamembranekeypad,a32alphanumericdisplay(2x16)andLEDtoshowdifferent
status.
Theheadisaclosedenclosurewithamilitary,quick‐disconnectconnector.Therail‐mountSIM‐P
moduleissuppliedwiththeemitterandreceiver.Allparameterscanbedirectlyprogrammedwith
theSensorInterfaceModuleforPhotocell.Theemitterandthereceiveraredirectlyconnectedtothe
SIM‐P.
A32‐character,alphanumericdigitaldisplayshowseachparameterandavailableconfiguration.The
SIM‐Pisconfiguredusingan8‐keymembrane.Statusofeachcellofthereceiver(blocked,cancelled;
notblocked)canbeseenonthereceiverheadthroughitswindow,orontheSIM‐Premotedisplay.
Connectionoftheemitterandreceiverissimpleusingfourcoloredwiresandeachcolorisidentified
directlyontheterminal’sconnectorlocatedontheSIM‐P.Twoterminalsarepresent,oneforthe
receiverandonefortheemitter.Theseconnectorsarenotdedicatedastheycaneitheraccept
emitterorreceiver.Theonlyrestrictionistohaveanemitterunitandareceiverunitwiththesame

Data format
Regardlessifwehaveselectedthedimensionortheposition,thevaluesentontheseriallinkis
writteninBCDASCIIformat.Eachvalueisrepresentedbyafourdigitnumber.Accordingtothe

Forexample,ifthevalueis236,thisvaluewillbesentasthefourdigits0236.Eachdigitis
convertedtoASCIIformatbeforetheSIM‐Pmoduletransmitsthem.Usingthesameexample,0236

Emitter, receiver or SIM-P module swap: Useful information

Atanytime,onecanreplacetheemitter,thereceiverortheSIM‐Pmodule.Someofthese

Theparameterscanberetrievedifnecessary.Theemitterhasnomemorytostoreparameters.In
thefollowingparagraph,eachcomponentisdescribed.

Emitter
Theemittercanbereplacedwithoutanyinfluenceonthephotocelloperation.WhentheSIM‐P
detectsthereceiver,alltheactualparametersneededtooperatecorrectlyaresenttotheemitter.
Assoonastheemitterhasreceivedtheparameters,thephotocellstartstofunction.

Receiver
Anemittercanbereplacedwithoutanyinfluenceonthephotocelloperation.Thereceiverhowever
hasthebackupmemoryoftheSIM‐Pmodule.Whenyoumodifyit,theactualbackupisnolonger
available.IfyoureplacethereceiverandtheSIM‐Pmoduleatthesametime,youcannotoperate
thephotocellasitwasworkingbeforethechange.TrytoavoidreplacingthereceiverandtheSIM
duringthesamepowerdownoperation.ToupdatethebackupmemoryoftheSIM‐Pmodule
insidethenewreceiver,youneedtofollowoneofthesesteps:

ModifyoneparameterintheSIM‐Pmodule.Everytimeaparameterischanged,the
completememoryissenttothereceivermemoryforbackuppurposesautomatically.Any
changeofaparametermakesafullupdateinthereceivermemory.
Executethe“saveparameter”commandfromtheSIM‐Pcommandmenu.Thiscommand
willtakethedataintheSIM‐P’sparametermemoryandsenditdirectlytothereceiver’s
memorytoupdatethenewreceiver

SIM‐Pmodule
WhentheSIM‐Pmoduleisreplaced,theparameter’smemoryisgonewiththeoldSIM‐Pmodule.It
meansthatthephotocellwillnotworkasitwasworkingbeforetheSIM‐Pmoduleswap.Youcan,
however,retrievealloftheoldparametersfromthereceiverbydoingthefollowing:
Executethe“retrieve”commandfromthenewSIM‐Pmodule.Thiscommandmustbeexecuted
beforeanyparametersarechanged.Ifaparameterischangedfirst,youwillloseallthebackup
parametersavailableinthereceiverhead.
