Q45XDN
“Intelligent” Photoelectric Sensors for use on DeviceNet™ Bus Networks
Features
• Easy “smart sensor” interfacing to DeviceNet bus networks
• Integral Euro-style (M12) quick-disconnect connector for DeviceNet compatible cable
• Impressive optical performance in opposed, diffuse, retroreflective, convergent or
fiber optic sensing modes
• Highly visible Power and Received Signal Strength indicator LEDs
• Tough mechanical design
Description
Q45XDN Series sensors are designed specifically for use on DeviceNet-bus
networks. These are “smart” sensors which can be wired to a DeviceNet bus using
a “dumb” tee.
Q45XDN1 models support the Bit Strobe Connection, which responds to a master’s
request. Q45XDN2 models support the Change of State Connection, which responds
to a slave’s change of state. All models support the Explicit Message Connection,
which is required to Set and Get sensor Attributes.
™
Q45XDN Series sensors feature two highly-visible sensor status indicator LEDs for
power and received signal strength. The Signal indicator incorporates Banner’s
patented† Alignment Indicating Device (AID™) circuitry which pulses the indicator at a
rate which is proportional to the received light signal strength. A slow flash rate alerts
personnel to a marginal signal due to sensor misalignment or dirt on the lenses.
Q45XDN Series photoelectric sensors have impressive optical performance (see
excess gain curves on pp. 2 - 4). All models boast o-ring sealing which exceeds the
NEMA 6P (IP67) rating. They are extremely rugged, with PBT polyester housings and
molded acrylic lenses. They are equipped with a 12 mm Euro-style quick-disconnect
connector which accepts DeviceNet-compatible cable (see Hookup Information).

WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
!
This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your
current Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
