BUS M30E1-PPC-07/035-S92K – ultrasonic sensor

Ultrasonic sensor BUS M30E1-PPC-07/035-S92K uses the reflection of sound pulses for non-contact evaluation of an object or distance. The declared working range is 65–600 mm; below its lower limit, measurement reliability cannot be assumed. Unlike the optical principle, the colour of the object is not decisive, but ultrasonic measurement is affected by the shape, inclination and acoustic reflectivity of the target.

Technical specifications

What an ultrasonic sensor is and how it works

Ultrasonic sensor emits short sound pulses at a frequency above the limit of human hearing. It evaluates the distance or presence of the target from the delay of the reflection from the object. It does not require the object to be magnetic or metallic and, unlike optical sensors, is much less affected by the colour or transparency of the surface. It is therefore also used for plastics, packaging, bulk materials and, with suitable mounting, for level monitoring.

Where this model is used

• Conveyor lines: detecting the presence of a product or package without mechanical contact.
• Kontrola polohy: measuring the distance and height of an object within the available range.
• Handling and packaging: detection of plastic or transparent packaging depending on measuring conditions.

How the measurement information gets into the PLC

Tato varianta kombinuje Analogue voltage / analogue current 0–10 V / 4–20 mA for continuous distance evaluation and PNP NO/NC contact for monitoring a set limit. Connect the analogue signal to the appropriate PLC input; the switching output can be used for a limit state.

How to choose and correctly use this variant

• Measuring range: 65–600 mm; observe the minimum distance and the upper limit of the range.
• Output: Analogue voltage / analogue current 0–10 V / 4–20 mA / PNP NO/NC contact.
• Connector / cable: Connectors, connector M12 × 1, 5-pole; choose compatible accessories.
