pd60cnv20bpm5 – fibre gl amp no+nc plug

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD60CNV20BPM5 Glass Fibre Optic Amplifier?

The Carlo Gavazzi PD60CNV20BPM5 is a compact and highly versatile glass fibre optic photoelectric sensor amplifier designed for precise object detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD60 photoelectric sensor series, it is specifically designed for use with glass optical fibres, enabling the sensing point to operate in demanding locations including environments with temperatures of up to 250 °C when a suitable fibre is used.

This microprocessor-controlled amplifier provides flexible sensing through a push-pull NPN/PNP output with selectable NO/NC and light/dark switching. Manual sensitivity adjustment using the integrated keyboard allows the detection distance to be configured for the application, while the LED bar graph provides clear visual feedback during set-up. Configuration parameters are retained in EEPROM memory.

With a 10–30 V DC operating supply, up to 100 mA output current and an M8 plug connection, the PD60CNV20BPM5 is straightforward to integrate into industrial automation systems. Depending on the glass fibre configuration, it supports typical sensing distances of up to 80 mm in diffuse-reflective operation and 200 mm in through-beam operation.

Precise Fibre Optic Detection for Industrial Automation

Fibre optic photoelectric sensing separates the electronic amplifier from the sensing point by transmitting light through an optical fibre. This allows compact fibre heads to be installed in restricted spaces and demanding locations where installing a conventional photoelectric sensor would be difficult. With suitable glass fibres, the PD60CNV20BPM5 can also be used where the sensing point is exposed to elevated temperatures.

The PD60CNV20BPM5 combines microprocessor-controlled sensing, adjustable sensitivity and versatile NPN/PNP output functionality with the convenience of an M8 plug connection. Its compact 13 × 30 × 60 mm DIN-rail housing makes it particularly suitable for small-part detection, counting, precision positioning, material handling, assembly machinery and robotic automation.

Typical Applications

• Small component and precision object detection.
• High-temperature sensing using suitable glass optical fibres.
• Product counting and presence detection.
• Precision positioning and alignment systems.
• Material handling and conveyor equipment.
• Assembly and manufacturing machinery.
• Robotics and automated production equipment.
• Applications with restricted sensing-head installation space.
• OEM automation systems and machine building.
