Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses T-slot cylinder sensors with IO-Link technology, designed for efficient monitoring of short-stroke pneumatic cylinders. These sensors offer advanced features for end position detection and diagnostics.
Key Features:
  • Dual End Position Detection: A single sensor can monitor both end positions of short-stroke cylinders, reducing the need for multiple sensors.
  • End Position Setting Aid: Equipped with a second LED to assist in setting end positions.
  • Quality Monitoring: Inline quality monitoring with a 50 mm detection range.
  • Diagnostic Functions: Includes a switching cycle counter for monitoring critical pneumatic cylinders and fast fault localization.
  • Protection Rating: IP67, ensuring durability in industrial environments.
Technical Specifications:
  • Operating Principle: 3D Hall effect.
  • Electrical Design: Selectable PNP/NPN.
  • Output Functions: Configurable for switch point, counter, and diagnostics.
  • Switching Frequency: 200 Hz.
  • Setting Range: Typically 50 mm.
  • Linearity: Less than 5%.
  • Resolution: Typically 0.01 mm.
  • Repeatability: Less than 0.2 mm.
Connectivity and Configuration:
  • IO-Link Interface: Allows parameter setting via PC or smartphone app using moneo|blue and moneo|configure free software.
  • Connection Types: Various options including 2 m cable, pigtail M8/M12 connectors, and 6 m cable.
Additional Features:
  • Versatile Monitoring: The sensor's outputs can be configured to meet specific application requirements, with high-resolution process values enabling continuous monitoring.
  • Integrated Diagnostics: Features such as stroke counter, time monitoring between end positions, and device temperature monitoring assist in maintenance and servicing.
