C23 PHOTO足EleCTRIC series

the allrounders The perfect combination of high specifications and miniature size

WWW.CONTRINEX.COM

C23: The perfect combination of high specifications and miniature size The new C23 series of miniature photoelectric sensors, available in diffuse, reflex, through-beam and background suppression types, offers solutions for a wide range of industries and applications. With IO-Link communication on all PNP-type sensors, the C23 series bridges the gap between machines and the digital world to meet the demands of Industry 4.0.

The C23 series is excellent for conveyor applications, since it combines reduced size with large sensing ranges to detect fast moving items reliably. Diffuse and background suppression types are very good for narrow conveyors, while reflex and through-beam types are perfect for wider conveyors.

Your advantages

− Miniature housing − Large sensing ranges − IO-Link

ü Top level sensing ranges ü Miniature housing: 20 x 30 x 10 mm3 ü Special optics for excellent background suppression characteristics ü Alignment aid version for through-beam type ü Cross-talk immunity ü Calibrated sensing ranges ü IP 69K and Ecolab certified ü IO-Link on all PNP sensors

application: conveyors

IO-Link functionalities with C23 series Data monitoring:

Detection status is monitored and continuously transmitted through IO-Link process data. This data contains both the detection state and the stability of detection (sufficient detection margin). It is possible, therefore, to determine whether the sensor is working too close to its detection threshold, for example due to window contamination. Diagnosis:

The operating state of the sensor is checked. In case of wire break, under-voltage, disturbances on the receiver, sensor malfunction or installation of the wrong sensor, information is provided directly through IO-Link to enable fast repair, maintenance and replacement. Sensitivity and teach:

The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted remotely by changing the threshold. Alternatively, the teach function can be used to adapt the threshold to the application. Calibrated sensing ranges ensure easy sensor replacement by uploading the existing sensitivity to the replacement sensor. Light-on/Dark-on selection:

The output switching mode can be selected as light-on or dark-on. A single sensor type is configurable for the various needs of an application. This helps reduce the number of different sensor types required in stock. Switching timer:

The timing of output switching can be configured. Depending on the needs of an application, output switching can be delayed or the duration stretched.

3 different modes are selectable depending on the application needs: “Normal”, “Fast” and “Fine”. “Normal” mode is a good balance of speed and precision. In “Fast” mode, speed is higher and in “Fine” mode precision is higher.

Sensor mode:

Sequence selection:

For cross-talk immunity with through-beam sensors, up to 10 different emitting sequences can be selected to pair the emitter with the receiver. Detection counter:

Detection events are counted. By registering the number of detections, it is possible to calculate the speed or number of parts. The counter can be reset by means of a unique IO-Link message. Temperature:

The internal temperature of the sensor is measured continuously, which provides an indication about the ambient temperature in the application. Moreover, the maximum temperature measured is saved for diagnosis and preventive maintenance purposes.

ECO: THE COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR NORMAL ENVIRONMENTS New manufacturing processes make the ECO range unbeatable in its class on both price and performance. Despite the low price, no compromise has been made on quality, reliability or durability. For example, the ECO range has a Contrinex ASIC (application-specific chip) as standard. This increases the accuracy and lifetime of sensors and enables communication via IO-Link. The IO-Link interface in the ECO range not only allows the reading of sensor data, such as the number of switching events, chip temperature, etc., but also the modification of certain parameters, such as switching from NO to NC function or programming an ON or OFF delay.

RFID

LOW and high FREQUENCY READ/WRITE MODULES Combinable within the same ContriNet network

WWW.CONTRINEX.COM

CONTRINET: THE POWERFUL RFID NETWORK FOR LOW AND HIGH FREQUENCY Users of industrial RFID can maximize the flexibility of their systems with the powerful ContriNet RS485 network from Contrinex. ContriNet not only allows up to 31 read/write modules (RWMs) to be connected to an industrial fieldbus, but also the mixing of low and high frequency RWMs in the same network. In addition, since all Contrinex high frequency transponders are ISO/IEC 15693 compatible, equipment from different manufacturers can be combined.

24 V

24 V 42

Threaded RWMs are available with S12 connector and RS485 output. The range includes rugged all-metal RWMs with an impervious sensing face and high-temperature RWMs for up to +125째C (257째F). Interfaces are provided for most industrial fieldbuses and USB.

application: Washing station The highly flexible ContriNet network is a powerful tool in the hands of RFID system integrators for smart factories.

In the harsh environment of a washing station, RFID transponders and read/write modules are exposed to hot water, mechanical shocks, corrosive chemicals and high-pressure jetting. Despite these challenges, identification systems must operate continuously with high reliability. Typically, RFID tags are mounted on the part carriers. On arrival at the washing station, information from the tag is used to select the correct washing cycle for the part type and process. ConIdent advantages ConIdent passive tags require no power source and minimal maintenance. Rugged, low frequency tags with all-metal housings are sealed to IP 67 or IP 69K to resist water penetration and can withstand temperatures up to 180째C (+356째F). Their extended sensing range reduces the risk of mechanical damage. Read/write units interface directly with customer control systems.
