Description
The sensor reliably detects objects no
matter whether there is a background
or not.
The sensor detects objects in front
of the background with a small dis‐
tance between object and background.
It requires a stable background as a ref‐
erence.
The sensor is typically used to detect
flat objects on conveyor belts.
Two Value Teach-
The sensing range is defined by teach‐
in (BGS)
ing in at two points (object leading
edge/rear edge). The sensing range is
placed in the center of the two distan‐
ces.
Two independent
The sensor has two independent switch‐
switching points
ing points that can be taught in sepa‐
(BGS)
rately.
Window (BGS)
The sensor detects objects located
within a taught-in window.
ApplicationSelect
Sensing range increases. The sensitiv‐
ity increases so that even shiny, dark
and uneven objects, even in an inclined
position, are reliably detected.
Manual/Meas‐
With "Manual/Measurement" mode, the
urement
distance value can be read out via IO-
Link. This mode is only available via IO-
Link.
A description of the IO-Link parameters
can be found in the IO-Link description:
