Keyence IV2-G30 Sensor Amplifier | Standard Type

Keyence IV2-G30 Sensor Amplifier for IV2 Series

The IV2-G30 delivers reliable vision inspection for automated production lines. This standard amplifier supports up to 16 detection tools and one position adjustment tool. Furthermore, it stores 128 programs when you use an SD card. Without an SD card, the unit keeps 32 programs. As a result, operators can switch between inspection recipes quickly.

This Keyence sensor amplifier belongs to the IV2 Series family. It works as the main controller for compatible IV2 sensor heads. Meanwhile, the built-in RJ45 port supports 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T networks. Therefore, the IV2-G30 fits modern factory networks with ease.

Technical Specifications

The amplifier runs on 24 VDC +/-10% including ripple. Power consumption stays at 1.8 A or less, including the communication unit and output load. The output type is open collector. Users can switch between NPN and PNP. They can also select N.O. or N.C. operation. The maximum output rating is 26.4 V and 50 mA.

Input and output counts matter for line integration. Specifically, the unit provides 8 inputs labeled IN1 to IN8. It also offers 8 outputs labeled OUT1 to OUT8. Consequently, it handles multi-point inspection tasks without extra modules.

Communication options are broad. Built-in protocols include EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, TCP/IP non-procedure communication, FTP client, and SNTP client. For expansion, the IV2-G30 supports EtherCAT, CC-Link, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS, and RS-232C. These options require a DL Series communication unit. Therefore, the amplifier adapts to many control platforms.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The operating temperature range is 0 to +50°C with no freezing. Relative humidity must stay between 35 and 85% RH without condensation. Besides, the product has no official protection rating. So, install it inside a clean control cabinet.

The main unit case uses PC material. The power connector uses PA and POM. The I/O connector uses PA. The sensor head connector combines zinc with Ni plating and PA. The Ethernet connector uses copper alloy with Ni plating. In addition, the rear heat sink is aluminum. The DIN rail fixing tab uses POM, and the nameplate uses PC. Weight is approximately 330 g.

Installation Guide

First, mount the IV2-G30 on a standard DIN rail inside a cabinet. Next, connect the 24 VDC power supply with correct polarity. Then, attach the sensor head to the dedicated connector. After that, plug the Ethernet cable into the RJ45 port. Finally, configure tools and programs through the Keyence setup software.

Keep wiring away from high-voltage lines. This step reduces electrical noise. Also, confirm the supply voltage stays within the +/-10% range. For communication expansion, install the DL Series unit before powering on. Moreover, verify that output loads stay below 50 mA per channel.
