AC Two-Wire Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors

AC two-wire plastic cylindrical photoelectric sensors are photoelectric sensors with an M30 threaded plastic housing, powered by 20-250 V AC, with the output connected in series with the load. They are used in circuits that have only an AC supply and where openings on the order of meters are monitored, such as doors, ramps, warehouse passages and wide conveyors. The AC models of the Lanbao PR30TS series are listed in 100 cm diffuse-reflective, 5 m retroreflective and 20 m through-beam types, with NO or NC output and with a 2 m cable or an M12 connector. Determine the sensing type and the distance suited to the opening; compare the NO or NC output, the cabled or connector connection and the sensor's load current limit from the product data. Because of the two-wire design, a voltage drop remains across the sensor while it is conducting; for sensitive low-voltage loads, check this value in the manufacturer data. AC two-wire plastic photoelectric sensors with an M18 housing are in a separate category; since an M30 housing does not fit an M18 mounting hole, it is not a substitute for an existing M18 model.

How to choose AC Two-Wire Plastic Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors

AC two-wire plastic cylindrical photoelectric sensors are photoelectric sensors with an M30 threaded plastic housing, powered by 20-250 V AC, with the output connected in series with the load. They are used in circuits that have only an AC supply and where openings on the order of meters are monitored, such as doors, ramps, warehouse passages and wide conveyors.

  • 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.
