KEYENCE IV2-G30F Sensor Amplifier

IV2-G30F Learning Controller | Keyence IV2

Product Introduction

The IV2-G30F is a sensor amplifier from the Keyence IV2 Series. It supports both Learning mode and Standard mode, giving users flexibility across inspection tasks. Moreover, the learning function lets the unit adapt to target variations without complex programming.

Additionally, the amplifier stores up to 128 programs when an SD card is installed. Consequently, one controller handles many product changeovers on a single line. Meanwhile, its DIN-rail design fits compact control cabinets.

Technical Specifications

Tools and Operating Modes

The IV2-G30F provides 16 detection tools plus one position adjustment tool. In Learning mode, the unit automatically tunes detection parameters from sample images. Standard mode, by contrast, relies on manual threshold and area settings. Therefore, operators choose the approach that matches their skill level.

Programs and Storage

Program capacity reaches 128 with an SD card or 32 without one. Each program stores tool settings, thresholds, and detection regions. Furthermore, this capacity supports high-mix production with frequent recipe changes.

Communication and Networking

A built-in RJ45 connector supports 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T Ethernet. The amplifier also offers EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, TCP/IP non-procedure communication, FTP client, and SNTP client protocols. For fieldbus expansion, DL Series communication units add EtherCAT, CC-Link, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS, and RS-232C.

Electrical and I/O Specifications

Supply voltage is 24 VDC with ±10% tolerance, including ripple. Power consumption stays at 1.8 A or less, counting the communication unit and output load. The controller provides 8 inputs (IN1–IN8) and 8 outputs (OUT1–OUT8). Outputs use open collector type with NPN/PNP and N.O./N.C. switching. Maximum output rating is 26.4 V at 50 mA.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

Construction Materials

The main unit case uses PC material. The power connector combines PA and POM, while the I/O connector uses PA. The sensor head connector uses zinc with nickel plating and PA. Additionally, the Ethernet connector is copper alloy with nickel plating, and the rear heat sink is aluminum.

Environmental Limits

Operating temperature ranges from 0 to +50°C with no freezing. Relative humidity must stay between 35 and 85% RH without condensation. Notably, the product carries no specific protection rating. Therefore, install it inside a clean, dry control panel.

Weight

The amplifier weighs approximately 330 g. Accordingly, standard DIN-rail clips support it securely without extra bracing.

Installation Guide

First, snap the IV2-G30F onto a standard DIN-rail inside the cabinet. Next, connect the IV2 Series sensor head using the dedicated connector. After that, wire the 24 VDC power supply and the I/O signals.

Then, attach the Ethernet cable for network communication. Subsequently, insert an SD card if more than 32 programs are needed. Finally, configure the IP address and select Learning or Standard mode through the menu.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between Learning mode and Standard mode?
A: Learning mode auto-tunes detection settings from sample images. Standard mode requires manual threshold and region setup.

Q2: How many programs can the IV2-G30F store?
A: It holds 128 programs with an SD card. Without a card, capacity drops to 32 programs.

Q3: Does this amplifier support EtherNet/IP?
A: Yes. EtherNet/IP and PROFINET are both built in, enabling direct PLC communication.

Q4: Can I expand to EtherCAT or CC-Link?
A: Yes. A DL Series communication unit adds EtherCAT, CC-Link, DeviceNet, PROFIBUS, or RS-232C.

Q5: What shipping methods do you offer?
A: We ship via Fedex, UPS, and DHL. Transit times typically range from 3 to 7 business days.
