Subminiature Blue Light Sensor for Detection Tasks

13.04.2022 - With other sensors that have a second switching output, this is often used to detect a broken cable and is permanently set to non-equivalent. Although this option also exists with the FT 10-BHD, the second output can also be used differently – for example to specify a second switching window. In this way, not only can the presence of an object be determined, but also whether it is tilted to the detection plane. With two objects, the sensor can distinguish whether both are present or only one or none at all. Since the second output is IO-Link-capable, it can also be used to parameterize the sensor or to query diagnostic data, while the first output handles fast data transmission.
