Panasonic FX-550L fiber optic sensors with IO-Link

Категория: Fibre sensors

The IO-Link technology makes the processes of collecting, processing and analyzing sensor data possible. 
Panasonic has developed a self-diagnosis function specifically for these types of sensors. This function sends sensor data via IO-Link directly to a higher-level fieldbus. Users only need to monitor the parameter value that gives information about sensor’s proper work.

  • A step towards IoT - to ensure smooth operation on the production floor, it is important to keep the machine downtime to a minimum. The new IO-Link technology permanently generates data on the sensor level and transmits them to a PLC for processing. The result is a large amount of data waiting to be analysed. The right information helps to take effective measure in the case of a failure in the shortest possible time. To find out at an early stage why a component has failed is a big advantage.
  • Self-diagnosis function - all IO-Link sensors from Panasonic have an integratedself-diagnosis function. The function monitors the function parameters specific to the sensor type and automatically outputs a warning signal if deviations from the specified behavior occur. Users save time because for maintenance it is sufficient to monitor only one signal instead of a number of sensor parameters.
  • Large sensing distance even with a thin fiber - the sensing range of the thin reflective type fiber is about 1.6 times longer than that of a conventional product. The sensing range of the standard reflective type fiber is about 1.4 times longer. This adds extra flexibility to the placement of the sensors.

  • Higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection - when the hysteresis is the same, the higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection.

  • Easy beam axis adjustment - thanks to the high emission power, a slight deviation of the beam axis causes no problem. It is ideal for use in dusty areas or for detection through an extremely narrow slit. 

  • Special mode to minimize the effect of ambient light - when the environment resistance mode has been activated, the ambient light caused by LED lighting can be about 2.5 times brighter than in normal mode without the LED lighting causing detection errors.

  • Simplified operation for standard applications –the FX-500 series is equipped with only the most important functions for improved ease of use. No matter which model you select, they are all easy to use.

    • NAVI mode - the NAVI mode uses three indicators and a dual display to show the amplifier’s basic operation. The current operation mode can be checked at a glance so that even a first-time user can easily operate the amplifier.

  • Direct adjustment:  
    • Threshold values can be changed directly in RUN mode.
    • Direct teaching: Teaching can be done in RUN mode. Just press the SET button once for object “present” and “not present”.
