Keyence EX-V01 Controller for EX-305V Sensor Head

The Keyence EX-V01 Controller is a dedicated amplifier unit that interfaces with the EX-305V inductive displacement sensor head to deliver high-speed, high-accuracy digital measurement for industrial automation. This controller processes analog sensor signals and provides multiple output formats - digital comparator outputs, strobe, alarm, and analog voltage - enabling integration into diverse control architectures. The EX-V01 achieves 0.075 ms response time at maximum speed with configurable 2-level threshold detection across four selectable patterns, supporting both NPN and PNP logic families.

Technical Specifications Power Supply: 24 VDC ±10%, maximum ripple 10% peak-to-peak, 240 mA current draw. Signal Processing: Maximum sampling rate of 40,000 samples per second (20,000 samples/sec with digital filter enabled). Response time 0.075 ms at full speed; OFF-delay time 60 ms. Sensor Head (EX-305V): 0 to 1 mm measuring range with ±0.3% linearity (F.S.). Resolution: 0.4 µm at 64-point averaging. Display updates 20 times per second on 7-segment, 2-color LED. Temperature coefficient 0.07% F.S./°C with iron targets (S45C, SS400, 1 mm thickness).

Key Features Output Options:

Digital outputs: HIGH, GO, LOW (NPN or PNP open-collector, 100 mA @ 40 V max for NPN; 100 mA @ 30 V max for PNP)

Strobe output: Normally Open, 100 mA max, 1 V residual voltage maximum

Alarm output: Normally Closed, 100 mA max, 1 V residual voltage maximum

Analog output: ±5 V, 100 Ω impedance, 0.075 ms response time Control Inputs: NPN open-collector or non-voltage contact; PNP accepts 10–30 V applied voltage. Supports timing, reset, auto-zero, comparator disable, synchronous, and external setting functions. Threshold Setting: Upper/lower 2-level configuration with four selectable comparison patterns.

Typical Applications Precision displacement measurement in manufacturing metrology, quality control inspection, positioning feedback, and dimensional verification where sub-micron resolution and millisecond response times are required.

Compatibility & Integration Designed exclusively for the Keyence EX-305V sensor head. Available in EX-V01 (NPN) and EX-V01P (PNP) variants to match existing plant control logic.
