Controller combines PLC and HMI functions
The i3 controller is ideal for both process control and factory automation applications and is available with a combination of digital and analogue I/O, including remote I/O.
Operating over a 10-30V DC range, the new photoelectric sensors are available in both plastic and metal bodies with IP67 protection.
They come with an axial or 90-degree optical lens and come with a range of light sources including visible red light for transparent object detection, infra-red or red light laser.
Diffuse, retroreflective, polarised retroreflective and through beam types are all available, with or without sensitivity adjust.
Sensing distances are 50 to 1000mm for diffuse types, 4m for retroreflective models, 3m axial, 2m 90 degrees (35m laser) for polarised retroreflective units and 20m (50m laser) for through beam sensors.
For transparent object detection, such as glass or plastic bottles and sheets, sensing distances are 100 to 1000mm.
The new photoswitches are fitted with a choice of complementary (NO and NC) or Lon/Don selectable outputs.
There are also three-wire NO output and three-wire NC output versions.
Models are available with specific PNP and NPN outputs and an axial or 90-degree cable and plug exit.
The FA series carries CE, UL and CUL approvals and is built to meet the needs of even the most demanding applications in the food, packaging, assembly and process markets.
