BUS005W, BALLUFF, ultrasonic sensor for process applications, M30E2, 200–5 000 mm, 0–10V / 4–20mA + PNP

BUS M30E2-PPC-20/130-S92K-G1 – ultrasonic sensor for process applications

The sensor BUS M30E2-PPC-20/130-S92K-G1 monitors distance using the ultrasonic method without the need for optical contact with the measured object. Its working range 200–5 000 mm must be observed, including the minimum sensing distance. The design of this product series is intended for applications with increased demands on resistance in a process environment.

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

• Tank level: non-contact level height monitoring under suitable conditions for ultrasonic reflection.
• Process silos: evaluation of the filling state and limit levels.
• Process automation: distance measurement in applications with a prescribed material and pressure design.

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: 200–5 000 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.
• Process connection: G 1".
• Max. declared pressure: 6 bar; do not consider pressure as universal chemical compatibility.
