Banner Engineering’s QS18 Expert Series clear object detection sensors are now available in models featuring IO-Link communication. IO-Link establishes a point-to-point communication link between a master device and a sensor. This enables remote access to sensor configuration parameters, process data and diagnostic information. Benefits include simplified wiring, installation, preventative maintenance, and sensor backup.
FEATURES
- Reliably detects clear, transparent, or opaque objects — including PET, glass containers, and transparent films
- Coaxial optics enable reliable detection of targets to the face of the sensor with no dead zone
- ClearTracking automatic compensation algorithm provides long and reliable operation by compensating for dust build up and ambient temperature changes
- Fast response speed with low jitter for high speed bottling and packaging applications
- Bright, visible red light spot makes alignment easy
- 3 user-selectable thresholds optimize performance to the type of object being detected
- Easy configuration of sensor by remote teach input or tactile push button
- Convenient mounting options available for 18 mm barrel or side mount
- Bright indicator LEDs show operating status from 360°
- IP67 rated ABS housing
- IO-Link with programmable PNP/NPN output and input configurations using IO-Link
