Timed Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric systems use separate transmitter and receiver sensor heads positioned across a detection area. An object is detected when it interrupts the transmitted light beam, providing dependable non-contact detection over long distances and making the technology particularly suitable for conveyors, machinery and automated handling systems.
The S142BRNT230 provides the amplification, switching, timing and diagnostic functions required by compatible Carlo Gavazzi photoelectric sensor heads. Its long 50 m sensing capability, adjustable sensitivity, integrated time delay, test input and combined SPDT relay and NPN outputs provide a flexible solution for both conventional relay control and electronic industrial automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Long-distance through-beam object detection.
- Timed product presence and position monitoring.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated doors, gates and access equipment.
- Industrial assembly and processing machinery.
- Warehouse and logistics automation.
- OEM machinery requiring photoelectric detection with time-delay control.
