E3X-DA-S / MDA

The next-generation platform for a wide range of sensing

Primary Contents



Equipped with an Industry's First Power Tuning (Optimum Light Setting) Function

The E3X-DA-S/MDA features a Power Tuning function that optimizes power at the press of a button.
This function easily but securely resolves saturation due to short sensing distances or insufficient incident light due to long sensing distances.
In addition, the response speed does not change as mode selection has tuned the power.

Adoption of Newly Developed 4-Element LEDs and an APC (Auto Power Control) Circuit Achieves Long-term Reliable Detection at the Highest Level in the Industry

The long-term reliable detection at the highest level in the industry is achieved with the innovative APC circuit whose performance is proved by E3X-DA-N series and the newly developed high-power LEDs (4-element type) to ensure super stable, long-term LED performance.
Stable performance is always available without the ON/OFF setting of an APC circuit.

OMRON's Innovative Wire-saving Connector Inherited from the E3X-DA-N

The amplifier units with connectors supply the power to slave connectors via a master connector. This offers three following advantages.

1.Greatly reduced wiring work

2.Improved space usability due to the unnecessity of relay connectors

3.Simple stock management due to the unnecessity of distinction between master and slave for amplifiers

Models available for a wide variety of applications at manufacturing sites

Industry Leading Two Amplifiers Loaded in a Small Body . . . . 2-channel models

Two amplifiers are loaded in a 10 mm-wide body.
Space usability can be approximately doubled.
In addition, approximately 40% of the energy can be saved.
(compared to the value per channel of the former model)

Simpler Digital Fiber Sensors . . . . Simple & Easy Single-function Models

Required performance and functions have been reviewed from basic points to improve high-performance but hard-to-use digital models. Digital fiber sensors, used in the sense as if using volume type sensors, are added to the basic functions such as an APC function and digital display.

E3X-DA-S/MDA_Features5

High-speed and High-resolution Analog Output Supports Wide Variety of Applications . . . .Advanced Analog Output Models

Analog Control Output

The voltage in the range of 1 to 5 V is output according to the incident level (digital display). Wide variety of applications is possible including positioning control or difference detection with multiple levels.

E3X-DA-S/MDA_Features6

High-speed and High Resolution

Detection modes can be switched in accordance with applications.
High-speed response of 80 μs (super-high-speed mode) supports the positioning controls that require high-speed control.

E3X-DA-S/MDA_Features7

Area Output Function Area Judgment Is
Possible . . . .Advanced, Twin-output Models

Only one sensor is enough for area judgment for height or others that has required multiple sensors.
Setting two threshold values allows easy output inside and outside range.

E3X-DA-S/MDA_Features8

Remote Input Function Sensors Controlled from Outside . . . .Advanced, External-input Models

Remote settings for teaching/power tuning/light OFF are possible with input signals.
The remote input function meets the diversifying demands such as remote settings made for frequent teaching due to level change corresponding to workpiece change or remote operation check of sensors before operation.

E3X-DA-S/MDA_Features9

Equipped with an Industry's First ATC Function that Resolves Problems at Manufacturing Sites . . . .Advanced ATC Models

OMRON's unique algorithm is equipped to distinguish dust or dirt and the change of workpieces. Automatic correction of threshold values by sensors in accordance with changes prevents malfunctions and improves the operating rates of machines. The ATC function is especially effective for the applications that require high-resolution detection.
