1 distance for analog distance measurement distance are used when distances to objects need to be measured or monitored or their precise position is to determined. They support positioning tasks, material flow controls and level detections in the most diverse of applications also across large distances. Users have a wide range of output signals available. Depending on the type, these include analog current and voltage outputs or serial interfaces. However, variants with IO-Link are available for a simple and efficient connection to higher-level control systems. Sensors 354 For more information, visit us online!

3 Distance Sensors Distance BOD Distance Sensors Optical distance are used when distances of objects need to be measured or monitored with precise position determination. Distance measurement is based on the triangulation principle where light travel time is measured. PSD elements or CCD arrays are used for the receiving elements, with the emitter consisting of a red light or laser light source. Analog current and voltage values, serial interfaces and digital outputs are available to the user. Applications Control tasks Sensing Object positioning Level detection Contour checking Optical distance continuously detect dimensions or contours on tongue and groove boards. Analog sensing detects individual defects and gradual deviations directly for permanent monitoring of the production process. Blister packaging Optical distance monitor the packaging process, optimize product filling and increase system productivity. Before foil packaging is closed up, a BOD 21M checks the individual compartments and detects missing or extra items. Sag monitoring Film and web material has to be transported at a uniform speed in order to be processed with precision. Tension-free material transport succeeds using the BOD 21M, which dynamically detects the height of the sag section. Adaptive feed Multiple optical distance measure components, assembled units and packages on a conveying line. BOD 21M evaluate the outer dimension and contour so that these various parts can be transported to the next appropriate process steps. The rugged metal housing guarantees long service life of the installation. 356 For more information, visit us online!

33 Basic Information and Definitions Alarm output The alarm output at the receiver (PNP open collector 30 ma) triggers a warning signal in the case of functional interruptions, which can be caused by contamination or mechanical de-adjustment. The alarm output is activated if the received signal lies in the alarm range for a defined amount of time. stable unstable Switching threshold Stability (green LED) Alarm stable For series BOS 18M Teach-in and BOS 65K, the entire product family, including diffuse and retroreflective, is equipped with an alarm output. Turn-off delay The turn-off delay is the time which the sensor requires for actuation when the target object leaves the sensing zone, at a transmission efficiency factor of 0.5. Autocollimation Emitter and receiver use a common lens. The emitter light passes through the beam splitter and the lens to the reflector. The reflector bounces the emitter light back to the lens. This gives retroreflective that work with autocollimation a small, round beam profile. Additional benefits: no dead zone for scanning and for the reflector, better small parts detection, and the switching characteristic is independent of the approach direction. Emitter Receiver Beam splitter Lens Detectionarea Reflector Distance with analog output A sensor with an analog output does not switch at a particular target distance. Its analog output emits a distance-dependent output signal. The output voltage corresponds to the object location within the sensing range. These systems operate on the same principle as with background suppression. They generate a linear output signal within a certain range (measuring range).

34 Basic Information and Definitions Through-beam sensor Through-beam consist of separate emitter- and receiver units which have to be aligned opposite each other at the two sides of the detection range. A target interrupts the light beam and causes the receiver to switch, regardless of the surface characteristics. In unfavorable conditions (e.g. dust, moisture, oil), you achieve the best results with through-beam. Ranges of up to 50 m can be achieved. Emitter Target Receiver Color sensing Sensors for color recognition detect objects based on their color. The sensor is calibrated so that it recognizes objects having a certain color. Then, different colored objects do not generate a switching signal. Fiber optics Focusing Optical conductors are made of glass or plastic with a diameter of as little as 50 µm and bunched in bundles of several hundred individual fibers to form so-called fiber optics. The fiber ends are ground and polished to meet the quality criteria of the optical industry. The individual fibers are coated with a very thin layer of lubricant. This reduces friction against the outer jacket and between the fibers, so that broken fibers are prevented even when the cable is continuously flexed. The transmission properties are guaranteed through this over a long span of time. The ends of the bundles are potted with the connection sleeve and the jacket. Balluff fiber optics thus have an IP 67 rating (IP 65 for metal jacket). Moisture and aggressive media cannot hurt either the fibers or the slide coating, so the optical properties remain unaffected. This design distributes axial pull forces evenly over all the fibers, and protects the individual fibers from excessive pull loads. In order to achieve a smaller light spot, the light beam of the emitter is focused through lenses. Through the focusing and the light spot caused by it, the switch is better suited to recognize small parts and details. Focusing is often used with retroreflective with background suppression, as well as with retroflective.

35 Basic Information and Definitions Fork sensor Fork are through-beam designs in which the emitter and receiver are arranged across from each other in a U-shaped housing. Through the housing type, alignment and electrical connection are simplified. Different ranges are available by selecting different housing configurations. Fork openings of mm are possible in various increments. The built-in potentiometer and apertures allow you to adjust the fork easily for detecting parts down to a diameter of 60 µm. Gray value shift Gray value shift is the switching distance difference when calibrating using different object reflectivities. The sensor is calibrated for a distance using a Kodak-gray card with 90 % reflection. With the Kodak-gray card with 18 % reflection, the distance achieved with it is measured. The difference between these two switchpoints in % is referred to as the gray value shift. The smaller the gray value shift, the more color-independently the sensor operates. Light switching according to DIN Light receiver Amplifier Consumer Illuminated Fully modulated Switched on Non-illuminated Not fully modulated switched off Background suppression (BGA) Through the background suppression, objects within a set switching distance are detected, without being impeded by the reflective background, and nearly independent of color and surface of the object (object reflection). Background suppression is achieved by cutting the beam from the emitter to the receiver. To do so, it divides the visible field into an active area and the background. In addition, by dividing the receiver into at least two adjacent areas (e. g. by using a dual diode or a PSD- element) and by means of a geometric arrangement (triangulation), the actual position of the object within the sensing range can be determined. Through this, the object and the background can be distinguished accurately. Diffuse with background suppression are characterized by low gray value shift and hysteresis. Hysteresis The hysteresis is the distance between the switchpoints for a target approaching and then receding from a photoelectric switch. Kodak gray card The standard target photoelectric are referred to as the Kodak-gray card. This is a cardboard sheet whose surface has a defined degree of reflectivity. The side with 90 % reflection determines the range of diffuse, with 18 % reflection to determine the gray value shift. 894 For more information, visit us online!

36 Basic Information and Definitions Correction factors (for diffuse ) For objects with varying reflection characteristics, the range can be determined by using the correction factors shown. See the adjacent table. Correction factor Object, surface 1 Paper, white, matte 200 g/m² Metal, shiny Aluminum, black anodized 1 Styrofoam, white 0.6 Cotton fabric, white 0.5 PVC, gray 0.4 Wood, rough 0.3 Cardboard, black, shiny 0.1 Cardboard, black, matte Short-circuit protected The output leads can be connected to the wrong potential without destroying the sensor. Together with their polarity reversal protection, these are completely protected against miswiring. Lasers, laser class The purpose of laser protection classes is to protect persons from laser radiation by specifying limit values. Based on this, the lasers used are classified according to a scale reflecting the degree of hazard. The calculations and associated limit values relevant for the classification are described in the standard EN : The grouping is based on a combination of output power and wavelength, taking into account emission duration, number of pulses and angle extension. Balluff work in the following laser protection classes: Class 1: Not dangerous, no protective measures. Class 2: Low output, lid-closing reflex sufficient for protection. With devices of protection class 2, the eye closes on its own due to the lid closing reflex before it has been open to the beam for too long. Laser warning signs on the device and possibly also on the machine in which a laser is being used are sufficient. Additional protective measures are not required. When using devices of protection classes 1 and 2, no laser safety officer is necessary in the company. General basic information Specific basic information Inductive Capacitive Magnetic cylinder Light as a sensor medium Light is used as a sensor medium in many areas of technology and daily life. Used in controllers- and regulation equipment as a sensor medium. Generally a change in the light intensity in an optical beam (between emitter and receiver) caused by a target object is evaluated. Depending on the properties of this object and the characteristics of the optical beam, the light beam is either interrupted or reflected, or even scattered. Predominantly clocked infrared light-leds are used as emitters, and phototransistors are used as receivers. The output signal is for the most part independent of the ambient light conditions, since visible light can be easily filtered out. With critical detection procedures, diffuse and -beams can be used with red light-leds, because the light beam and the detection point can be measured visually and can be adjusted more easily. For the various usage conditions, Balluff offers three sensor variants: diffuse, retroreflective light, and oneway photoelectric

37 Basic Information and Definitions Light refraction Light beams experience a change in direction (interruption) at the border between two optical media with different optical thicknesses (e.g. glass/air). The degree of interruption depends on the quotients of the optical thicknesses of both media and on the angle of incidence ε to the optical axis. Total reflection If a light beam travels from a dense medium, n, into a thinner one, n', its course there will show a greater angle ε'. However, above εcrit. (boundary angle at which the broken beam runs parallel to the boundary layer), it again enters the medium with the thickness n; this means that a total reflection is pending. Light transmission by total reflection Without the total reflection at boundary layers described above, fiber optics of today's quality would not be feasible. They consist of a cylindrical, light-conducting core and a surrounding thin-wall jacket. The optical density n of the core is greater than that of the jacket. A light beam is always completely reflected at the junction between core and jacket, and can therefore never leave the core in a radial direction. Theoretically, the light is not weakened by these reflections; however, contamination and small defects both in the core material as well as the boundary layer do cause losses (attenuation) and effectively limit the fiber optic length over which reliable information can be transmitted. sensor With diffuse types, the emitter and receiver are integrated into a single housing. The alignment to a detection object is largely uncritical. A target object (e. g. a standard target which is 90 % reflective) bounces a part of the light from its surface back to the receiver. If the standard target reaches the response curve (see image), the output signal changes. The sensing distance depends on the size, shape, color and properties of the reflective object surface. Using a Kodak-gray card with 90 % reflectivity (like white paper), distances of up to 2 m can be obtained. Emitter-/receiver beam Emitter/ Receiver Actual beam Standard target 90 % reflective Permitted humidity The permitted humidity is 35 to 85 % (not condensed). Luminescence To locate invisible marks on objects, so-called luminescent materials (contained in special chalks, inks, paints etc.) are used which can only be made visible under ultraviolet (UV) light. The fluorescent materials convert the invisible UV light (short wavelength, here 380 nm) into visible light (between blue 450 nm and dark red 780 nm). This effect is called photoluminescence. The visible light can then be detected as usual by the receiver component of the sensor. 896 For more information, visit us online!

38 Basic Information and Definitions Polarizing filters When do you need them? A part of the emitter light in retroreflective systems is reflected directly back to the receiver from target objects with shiny surfaces, e. g. stainless steel, aluminum or tinplate. Simple Retroreflective light can therefore not reliably distinguish reflected light from the object and reflected light. Erroneous readings therefore cannot be ruled out. For this reason, Balluff retroreflective light are alternatively equipped with polarizing filters, 0which, together with a Balluff reflector, an optically activated prismatic mirror, form a selective barrier against the reflected light from the object, but still allow the reflector light to occur. How do they work? Light consists of a wide variety of individual beams, which all sinusoidally oscillate on their dispersal axes. Their oscillation levels, however, are independent of one another and can take on any angle position desired (see image). If they meet a polarizing filter (fine line grid), then only the beams oscillating parallel to the grid level are let through, and the vertically oscillating ones are entirely deleted. Of all the other oscillation planes, only the portion which consists of parallel components is allowed to pass. To suppress mirror reflections Behind the filter, the light only oscillates parallel to the polarization plane. For this light, an additional 90º rotated polarizing filter becomes an impassable barrier. With a 90º rotated polarizing filter in front of both the emitter- and receiver of a retroreflective system, you can therefore prevent the reflected light of a reflecting target object from falsely triggering the signal of the photo-receiver. For reliable detection of reflective target objects On the other hand, the light reflected from the triple mirror, with its polarization plane rotated by 90º as described above, is allowed to pass unhindered by this filter. The receiver of a retroreflective system is thereby fully shielded even when a reflecting target object enters the beam, so that the object is still reliably detected.

39 Basic Information and Definitions Reflectors (optically active triple mirrors) The two-dimensional principle of retroreflection described above can be carried over to a spatial system with three mirrors which are oriented at right angles to each other (one corner of a cube standing on its point). A light beam entering this system is totally reflected by all three surfaces and exits parallel to the incident beam. Triple mirrors are called optically active, because they also turn the polarization level of the reflected light beam by 90. This property first enables a secure recognition of reflective detection objects, together with a polarization filter with retroreflective light. Each six triple mirrors are to be arranged into a hexagon and arranged in a honeycomb next to each other. Their orientation with respect to the light beam is then totally unproblematic. These are generally made of plastics with high optical density, injected as sheets or pressed into flexible tape. Reflection What is it? Light beams extend to a straight line in free space. Upon striking an object, they are reflected. Depending on the surface composition of the object, one of three types of reflection occurs: total reflection, retroreflection, and diffuse reflection. The total reflection reaches a highly reflective (mirroring) surface. The angle of incidence is thereby the same as the angle of reflection ( I = E ). The reflection losses are in the ideal case negligible. The retroreflection is caused by two mirrors aligned vertically to each other. A light beam is again projected back through double reflection in the same direction. The angle of incidence can thus be altered in a relatively wide range. Diffuse reflection occurs on an uneven and rough surface. It can be illustrated through a wide variety of poorly reflective and differently aligned miniature mirrors. Incidental light is widely "scattered" from such a surface. The reflection losses are higher the darker and more matte finished the surface is. Diffuse, for example, detect diffuse reflecting light from target objects. Retroreflective sensor With retroreflective light, the emitter and the receiver are in a single housing. A reflector on the opposite side of the beam bounces the emitter's light back to the receiver. A target object interrupts the reflected light beam and causes a change in the output signal. With reflective interfaces, it is advisable that the light reflected from the object is to be blanked out with a polarizing filter in front of the receiver optics, in order to prevent possible error signals.

40 Basic Information and Definitions Switching distance s The switching distance is the distance between the standard target and the "sensing surface" of the light sensor for causing a signal change (per EN ). Kodak-gray card Rated switching distance s n The rated switching distance is a switching distance- characteristic, which does not take into account manufacturing tolerances, sample differences, operating temperatures, supply voltages, etc. s n Sensing surface Real switching distance s r The actual switching distance is the switching distance at measured voltage U e, taking into account the manufacturing tolerances at an ambient temperature of (T = +23 C ±0.5). 135 % 100 % s r Usable switching distance s u The usable switching distance is the permitted switching distance within fixed voltage- and temperature limits (0.80 s n s u 1.20 s n ). 120 % 80 % s u 0 % Blind zone The blind zone is the range between the sensing surface and the minimum switching distance in which a detection object cannot be detected. Blind zone General basic information Detection range s d The detection range is the area in which the switching distance of a photoelectric sensor to the standard target can be set. s d Specific basic information Inductive Capacitive Magnetic cylinder Emitter light use mainly the following transmission components: Red light LED: visible light, well-suited as an orientation aid and for sensor adjustment. Infrared LED (IR): Invisible beam with high energy. Red light laser: Visible light, optimal for detecting small parts and high ranges due to the physical properties of the laser

41 Basic Information and Definitions Teach-in Sensor settings are no longer carried out with potentiometers or slide switches with Teach-in-. Everything is controlled by pressing a button. The microcontroller integrated in Teach-in- enables the complete control of the setting process by buttons. Through defined setting steps, there is the advantage that the sensor cannot be set in an unreliable range. The microcontroller also assumes control of the contamination indicator and the contamination output. A wide variety of Balluff Teach-in-switches have remote control; the setting process via Teach-in can also be triggered externally via cable.

Test input The test input of the emitter interrupts its light impulses and, through that, enables the function check of emitter and receiver. If Test+ is used, then Test has to be at 0 V, and if Test is used, then Test+ has to be placed at V. The receiver-output has to switch every time if there is a voltage of V DC (Test+) or 0 V DC (Test ) at the test input. Contamination or maladjustment of the optical axis causes the emitter signal to reach the receiver only weakly, if at all. Therefore, the output will not switch, even though the test input is activated. The test function corresponds to a remote monitoring of the photoelectric sensor and enables a preventive system control. Transmission The transmission is a measure for the light transmission ability of a medium. It is defined as the ratio of: passed to entering light (in %). Diffuse transmission is the term which is used when the light is partially or completely diffused. Triangulation With a triangulation, the emitter- and the receiver beam are cut by a photoelectric sensor at a pointed angle. A target object will only be detected in the range where the beams overlap.the emitter light which is reflected or diffused from objects outside this limited zone cannot be registered by the photo-receiver. With the triangulation, relatively small changes in distance can be recognized (e.g. slots, offsets on shafts). Color and shape of the object have very little effect on the registration.

42 Basic Information and Definitions Ambient temperature The ambient temperature is the temperature range in which the function of the photoelectric switch is guaranteed. Balluff Standard: 15 C T a +55 C Polarity reversal protection The power supply connections can be reversed without destroying the sensor. In combination with the short-circuit protection, there is protection against total reversal. Contamination (influence on the response range) Contamination reduces the specified response range of and fiber optics compared to clean air, because the dirt- and dust particles deposit on the lenses and impair their light transmission, and absorb and scatter light in the beam path. An oil-free source of compressed air can be used to prevent the effects of dirt and contamination due to impure air. Contamination indicator The contamination indicator (green) lights in the safe zone if the input energy exceeds the threshold energy by at least 30 %. The threshold energy, at which a signal change affects the output, is defined at 100 %. From this, the safe zone results if the input signal exceeds at least 130 % of the threshold energy if the input signal exceeds at least 70 % of the threshold energy.
