Bulletin 45FPL Long-range Fiber Optic Sensors are compact DIN rail mount sensors for use with fiber optic cables up to 2.2 mm (0.09 in.) in diameter. These sensors have large status indicator displays and one touch multi-directional push buttons. Twice the sensing range of DIN rail fiber portfolio Status indicator displays light levels, operating modes, and diagnostic information One-touch, multi-directional push button Two-step static teach or dynamic teach functionality Two programmable sensing modes: long range (1.8 ms) and high speed (190 µs)
Threshold value and current value display Manual override of teach set points Applications include: Material handling Packaging Optical sensors have the ability to detect light, typically at a specific range of the electromagnetic spectra (ultraviolet, visible, and infrared). The sensor detects either wavelength, frequency, or polarization of light and converts it into electric signal due to photoelectric effect. Food processing Transportation.
Single Mode fibers are used for high speed data transmission over long distances. Fiber optic sensors are excellent for specific conditions such as noise, high vibration, unstable environments, extreme heat, and wet conditions. These sensors, which are based on flexible fibers, may be readily incorporated in local ranges. The optical fibre sensors are divided into two categories: thrubeam and reflective. The thrubeam type comprises a transmitter and a receiver. The reflective type, which is a single unit, is available in 3 types: parallel, coaxial, and separate. The 3 are based on the shape of the crosssection of the optical fibre.
