Contrinex C23 Series photoelectric sensors

The Contrinex C23 Series of photoelectric sensors includes diffuse, reflex, through-beam and background-suppression types. They detect objects of different colours and material types, even under difficult conditions. All PNP switching versions of the sensor series are equipped with IO-Link.

The miniature photoelectric sensors have a reduced size (20 x 30 x 10 mm) and can detect even fast moving objects. Specially developed Contrinex optics provide high black/white performance for the sensor version with background suppression. Typical applications include conveyor belts used in production and automated food packaging.

IO-Link sensors are compatible with all IO-Link master versions. As a result, set-up and status diagnostics can take place centrally. In addition, the IO-Link interface allows process data to be read and modifications to be made to sensing ranges or functions, such as stretch and delay, directly on the sensor.

IO-Link functions include data monitoring and diagnosis of sensor functions; sensitivity adjustment and teach-in; a choice of switching type and configuration of switching behaviour; the setting of sensor mode and emitting sequences; and detection counter and temperature measurement.
