Wenglor, distributed by Treotham, has received a performance upgrade, combining innovative features and proven performance values for the reliable detection of luminophores.

In addition to an IO-Link interface, the two new models P1PA001 and P1PA002 also have a teach-in button for intuitive configuration.

The standardised IO-Link communication interface makes it easy to configure parameters, output intensity values, operate condition monitoring or set on and off delays.

On top of that, the sensor housing has also been given a functional facelift: A central teach-in button and two LEDs on the top of the sensor ensure a simple operating concept. If the button is held down for two or five seconds, objects can be taught in statically or dynamically.

To teach in the sensor remotely, you can use the intuitive wTeach2 configuration software.

“This makes the entire installation, configuration and maintenance easier,” Wenglor product manager Stefan Reetz says.

“There are fewer elements on the sensor than before, and they can do more. Everything else can be conveniently adjusted via IO-Link 1.1.”

The technology is housed in Wenglor’s tried-and-tested 1P housing (50 × 50 × 20mm). An extended working range of between 30 and 90mm and a small light spot diameter, combined with a high switching frequency of 2,500Hz ensure an enormous performance range. Receiving ranges between 420 and 750nm (P1PA001) and 570 and 750nm (P1PA002) round off the new generation.
