LE Series Agenda M&I overview Introducing the L-GAGE® LE Competitive comparison Applications Sales resources

M&I Overview

M&I Product Line Ultrasonic Measuring Arrays Optical Distance U-Gage Not affected by target color, reflectivity or translucency Low visibility/dirty environment, Liquid tank levels, Clear objects A-Gage EZ-Array - Product profiling Other FMCW (Frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar (FM-CW)), Magneto-resistive, IR L-Gage Smallest objects, High precision, Thickness measurement, Not affected by wind, Fast response, Visible light for easy alignment Other Measuring

Banner Optical Distance Products Time of Flight (Resolution at Max Range) Triangulation TOF on top, Triangulation on bottom Log scale Range, resolution at max range noted inside of bar LE is coarse measurement

L-GAGE® LE The LE provides a low cost, easy to use, reliable solution for measurements across a variety of targets including metal, wood, paper and plastic Key features include: LCD display Linear Array Laser Emitter Input Modes Analog & Discrete outputs

LCD display Real time display for easy setup and troubleshooting 8 characters x 2 lines provides easy to read feedback 3 LEDs for quick reference of sensor status Great contrast for easy reading Versus no display or 1 line 6 character display for competition See measurement and analog output or menu and options so easy to track where you are in setup process Run Mode Menu System

Linear Array LE uses linear array technology and as a result will give more consistent performance across targets Shows the evolution of technology. Not specific to Banner.

Laser Emitter Visible beam for easy setup and alignment Spot size ~ 2 mm x 6 mm @ 1 m Class 2 laser

Inputs and Outputs Inputs Analog Output Discrete Output

Inputs Set independent analog and discrete limits Teach using display or remote teach Adjust using display Multi-function input wire Remote teach Trigger Laser enable Master/Slave New approach where you can look at distance on the display and manually adjust limits where you want Also have the option to select 1 or 2 point teach through display. 2 point teaches 4 and 20 independently while 1 point teaches midpoint with window size defined by user For consistency with other Banner products, can do remote teach

Analog output Analog Output: Choose appropriate model 4-20 mA 0-10 V 7 Trigger Modes Measure for period of time, export one value Min, Max, Range, etc. Reduce PLC programming

Discrete output Discrete Output: Configurable PNP or NPN (current sourcing or sinking) Single switch point or window (configurable NO/NC) Alarm/Health modes alert to loss of signal Same delays/timer options as DF-G1
