Gateways take control of AS-i slaves
AS-i gateways come with M4 master profile support for all AS-i slaves from specifications 1.0 to 3.0.
In combination with a prismatic reflector with fine prismatic structure it is the optimum choice for the detection of transparent objects.
The automatic switch point adjustment ensures reliable operation despite gradual soiling in normal industrial environments.
The system can be set to the corresponding application via the teach mode.
Even clear-glass materials can be detected by pressing the teach button twice.
The light-on or dark-on mode is set at the same time.
The O5G500 is also suitable for fast processes because of the high switching frequency of 2000 Hz.
Despite its compact dimensions of 18.2 x 56 x 46.8mm a range of 50 to 1,500mm is possible.
Visible red light and various mounting accessories facilitate alignment during mounting.
The sensor is connected via a standardised M12 connector. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
