Fiber Optic Amplifiers

A fiber optic amplifier is sensing electronics that combines the light source, receiver and switching output in a single housing and works together with a sensor fiber cable. Since only the thin fiber end is placed at the sensing point and the amplifier is mounted somewhere accessible, it is used for detecting small parts and objects in tight machine spaces. In this category, Isıso branded B60 housing potentiometer-adjustable and digital models are available with NPN NO+NC and PNP NO+NC outputs. Choose the amplifier by the NPN or PNP output that suits your PLC input card, whether the sensitivity setting is potentiometer or digital, the supply voltage and compatibility with the fiber cable you will use. The sensing distance is determined by the amplifier and fiber cable together; verify the value on the product page against the fiber end you will use from the manufacturer's data. A fiber optic amplifier does not perform sensing on its own and is not fiber optic communication equipment used for data transmission; it is used together with a suitable sensor fiber cable.

How to choose Fiber Optic Amplifiers

A fiber optic amplifier is sensing electronics that combines the light source, receiver and switching output in a single housing and works together with a sensor fiber cable. Since only the thin fiber end is placed at the sensing point and the amplifier is mounted somewhere accessible, it is used for detecting small parts and objects in tight machine spaces.

  • Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
  • Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
  • Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
