O8H214, IFM, diffuse photoelectric sensor with background suppression, 1...50; (white paper 200 x 200 mm), light-on/dark-on switching; (programmable), 10...30 DC

O8H214 is a diffuse photoelectric sensor with background suppression made by IFM. This type evaluates the object within the set sensing area and limits the influence of the more distant background behind the monitored object. This variant combines a sensing distance of 1...50; (white paper 200 x 200 mm), output Light-on/dark-on switching; (programmable), supply 10...30 DC and connection Cable: 0.3 m, PVC; 3 x 0.08 mm².

Typical applications

Model O8H214 is designed for detecting objects in front of a machine structure, conveyor or other fixed background, especially where more stable discrimination of the target from the background is needed. When designing the application, it is advisable to verify the actual working distance, target properties, mounting space and ambient conditions.

Technical specifications

Wiring and integration into the control system

Model O8H214 wire according to the technical data of this specific variant. Before integration into a PLC or control system, check in particular the supply 10...30 DC; output type Light-on/dark-on switching; (programmable); output function Light-on/dark-on switching; (programmable); connection Cable: 0.3 m, PVC; 3 x 0.08 mm².

Application example – detecting a part in front of a fixed background

The sensor is set so that it reliably evaluates the product at the working distance but does not respond to a more distant part of the machine or conveyor. This is useful, for example, when checking the presence of parts of different colours in front of a constant background.

Why choose this variant

Model O8H214 is a specific variant of the type diffuse photoelectric sensor with background suppression with a combination of parameters 1...50; (white paper 200 x 200 mm) · light-on/dark-on switching; (programmable) · 10...30 DC · cable: 0.3 m, PVC; 3 x 0.08 mm² · IP 65; IP 67. This configuration makes it easier to match the sensor precisely to a specific task and the electrical interface of the machine.
