The Autonics BYS500-TDT1,2 is a Compact Synchronous Photo Sensors with a unique side sensing configuration, engineered for precise detection of opaque objects as small as Γ5mm. It offers a long sensing distance of 500mm, using an efficient infrared LED (940nm) to ensure stable and consistent signal transmission. With a swift response time of just 1ms, it supports real-time detection in high-speed automation systems. The sensor operates on a standard 12β24VDC Β±10% power supply and consumes a low current of 30mA for both emitter and receiver, making it suitable for energy-sensitive control panels. Its NPN open collector output ensures compatibility with a wide range of PLCs and automation controllers.
Built with durability in mind, the BYS500-TDT1,2 features a tough polycarbonate housing, reinforced by SPCC mounting brackets and secure metal fasteners. The device carries an IP50 protection rating, making it resistant to dust and suitable for semi-protected industrial zones. It maintains reliable operation under ambient lighting conditions up to 11,000lx (sunlight) and 3,000lx (incandescent light). With an operating temperature range of -10Β°C to 60Β°C and a robust 2-meter cable (Γ4mm), installation is simple and adaptable to tight machinery spaces.
