Photocell operates at long distances
Tthe O4P200 will detect up to 18m on a reflector, and if sensing needs to be over a further distance still, the O4E and O4S will handle 25m.
IFM Electronic O4H200 photocell features background suppression allowing it to sense an object up to 2m distant, yet still distinguish the object from the background A sensor with such a range could mean the end to retroreflective systems, only needed up to now to achieve that range without interference from the background

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.
Nevertheless, for greater ranges, the O4P200 will detect up to 18m on a reflector, and if sensing needs to be over a further distance still, the O4E and O4S will handle 25m.
The O4 is supplied in a rugged housing, with a simple potentiometer on the O4H, and no adjustment at all on the longer range retroreflective and throughbeam to minimise tampering.
The standard M12 connector rotates to allow connection at the back or from below.
A wide range of mounting accessories rounds off the deal.
IFM Electronic products include flow sensors; pressure transmitters and switches; temperature switches and transmitters; capacitive, inductive and photoelectric proximity sensors; and a full range of AS-i I/O modules and masters. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
