Overview
The WORLD-BEAM® Q20 Sensor with Background Suppression detects targets within the cutoff distance while ignoring objects in
the background. Background suppression mode is recommended when target position is repeatable, but target color and
background conditions vary.

1 2 m (6.5 ft) PVC cabled models are listed for the complementary output models. 2 m (6.5 ft) and 9 m (30 ft) PVC cabled options are not available on IO-Link
models.
•
To order the 9 m (30 ft) PVC cable model, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, Q20NAF200 W/30.
•
To order the 4-pin M8/Pico-style integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q7" to the model number. For example, Q20NAF200Q7.
•
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q5" to the model number. For
example, Q20NAF200Q5.
•
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M8/Pico-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q" to the model number. For example,
Q20NAF200Q.

Installation Instructions
Sensor Orientation
Optimize detection reliability and minimum object
separation performance with correct sensor-to-target
orientation. To ensure reliable detection, orient the
sensor as shown in relation to the target to be detected.

Set up the Sensor
Background Suppression Mode: Objects beyond the set cutoff distance will not be detected. Background suppression mode can
be used in most situations with varying object colors and positions or with varying background conditions.
To ensure reliable background suppression, a minimum separation distance between the object and the background is necessary.
Object
Background
X: Distance to the Object
Y: Minimum Separation Between the Object and the
Background
Set the cutoff distance approximately midway between the
farthest object and the closest background.

The distance to the object must be less than shown in Figure 4 (p. 5) for your object color.

Turn the adjustment potentiometer counter-clockwise until the amber indicator turns off.
Turn the adjustment potentiometer clockwise until the amber indicator turns on.
Replace the darkest object with the brightest background at the closest application distance.
Turn the adjustment potentiometer clockwise until the amber indicator turns on.
Turn the adjustment potentiometer counter-clockwise approximately half of the adjustment rotation from the previous step.
This places the cutoff distance approximately half-way between the object and the background switch points. If sufficient
separation exists between the object and background, the sensor is ready for operation.
IO-Link Interface
IO-Link is a point-to-point communication link between a master device and sensor. Use IO-Link to parameterize sensors and
transmit process data automatically.
For the latest IO-Link protocol and specifications, see www.io-link.com.
Each IO-Link device has an IODD (IO Device Description) file that contains information about the manufacturer, article number,
functionality etc. This information can be easily read and processed by the user. Each device can be unambiguously identified via
the IODD as well as via an internal device ID. Download the Q20's IO-Link IODD package (p/n 209012) from Banner Engineering's
website at www.bannerengineering.com.
Banner has also developed Add On Instruction (AOI) files to simplify ease-of-use between the Q20, multiple third-party vendors'
IO-Link masters, and the Logix Designer software package for Rockwell Automation PLCs. Three types of AOI files for Rockwell
Allen-Bradley PLCs are listed below. These files and more information can be found at www.bannerengineering.com.
Process Data AOIs—These files can be used alone, without the need for any other IO-Link AOIs. The job of a Process Data AOI is
to intelligently parse out the Process Data word(s) in separate pieces of information. All that is required to make use of this AOI is
an EtherNet/IP connection to the IO-Link Master and knowledge of where the Process Data registers are located for each port.
Parameter Data AOIs—These files require the use of an associated IO-Link Master AOI. The job of a Parameter Data AOI, when
working in conjunction with the IO-Link Master AOI, is to provide quasi-realtime read/write access to all IO-Link parameter data in
the sensor. Each Parameter Data AOI is specific to a given sensor or device.
IO-Link Master AOIs—These files require the use of one or more associated Parameter Data AOIs. The job of an IO-Link Master
AOI is to translate the desired IO-Link read/write requests, made by the Parameter Data AOI, into the format a specific IO-Link
Master requires. Each IO-Link Master AOI is customized for a given brand of IO-Link Master.
Add and configure the relevant Banner IO-Link Master AOI in your ladder logic program first; then add and configure Banner IOLink Device AOIs as desired, linking them to the Master AOI as shown in the relevant AOI documentation.
