RS PRO Plastic Fibre Optic Sensor 0.01 mm, PNP Output IO-Link, 1.44 W, IP54, 24 V dc

RS PRO Fibre Optic Sensor, PNP Output

RS PRO introduces the fantastic fibre optic sensor with PNP output. Fibre optic sensors are a type of proximity sensor that has an optical fibre connected to a light source to allow for detection in tight spaces or where a small profile is beneficial. The optical fibre is a transparent fibre made of glass (silica) or plastic with a diameter slightly thicker than a human hair, this fibre transmits light between the two ends to produce an electrical signal.

Features and Benefits

• Optional high performance output time delay of 0ms, 10 ms or 40ms to suit suit your needs


• Three optional modes for high speed response time as well of ＜200us (Fine mode); ＜300us (Turbo mode); ＜550us (Super)


• Operating temperature of -10°C to 50°C with no freezing to be able to meet your needs in a variety of environments


• Vibration resistance of 10 to 55 Hz with a 0.5mm double amplitude for 2 hours each in X, Y, and Z directions


• Shock resistance of 500 m/s2 for 3 times each in X, Y, and Z directions


• Relative air humidity of 35∼85% with no condensation


• Operating supply voltage of 12...24 VDC


• Comes with circuit protection technology including surge protection, reverse polarity and overload protection providing safety for yourself and your tool


• PNP sensors produce a positive output to your industrial controls input


• Compatible probes 896-7298 and 896-7285

Applications

Fibre optic sensors are used in a number of different sensing applications. In mechanical properties testing, fibre optical sensors are used to measure mechanical strain. They can also be used to measure acceleration, velocity, pressure, temperature and displacement. Used in a variety of workplaces including

Oil Industry
Gas Industry
Textiles
Ships and offshore structures
Aerospace

How Do Fibre Optic Sensors Work

A fibre-optic sensor system is a technology that consists of a fibre-optic cable connected to a remote sensor, or amplifier. The sensor emits, receives, and converts the light energy into an electrical signal. The optical cable is the mechanical component that transports the light into and out of areas that are either too space constrained or too hostile back to the sensor.
