Product catalog summary
Overview of IO-Link Sensors: The document provides a comprehensive overview of IO-Link sensors, highlighting their functionalities and advantages in various industrial applications. It covers both inductive and photoelectric sensors, detailing their capabilities in data monitoring, diagnosis, and configuration options.
Inductive Sensors: These sensors offer functionalities such as continuous data monitoring, diagnosis for quick maintenance, NO/NC selection for output switching modes, configurable switching timers, detection counters, and temperature monitoring. They are designed for high accuracy, stability, and resistance to vibration and shock, making them suitable for industries like textiles, robotics, and automotive manufacturing.
Photoelectric Sensors: Similar to inductive sensors, photoelectric sensors provide data monitoring, diagnosis, and configurable sensitivity. They also offer light-on/dark-on selection, switching timers, sensor modes, sequence selection for cross-talk immunity, detection counters, and temperature monitoring. These sensors are ideal for precision processes and industries such as electronics and vending machines.
Key Advantages: The document emphasizes the exceptional price/performance ratio, accuracy, and stability of these sensors. They are noted for their long operating distances, resistance to harsh environments, and suitability for specific applications like special material detection and high-pressure conditions.
Industry Applications: The sensors are applicable across various sectors, including automotive manufacturing, machine tools, logistics, packaging, and more. They are designed to withstand extreme conditions, such as high pressure and temperature, making them versatile for different industrial needs.
Product Variants and Specifications: The document lists various sensor models, detailing their housing sizes, pressure resistance, temperature stability, and specific features like analog output and weld-immunity. It also highlights the availability of miniature and compact models for space-constrained applications.
Conclusion: Contrinex offers a wide range of IO-Link sensors with advanced functionalities and robust designs, catering to diverse industrial requirements. Detailed data sheets for these products are available on the Contrinex website for further information.
Detection and Measurement Grids: Detection grids offer fast response times between 0.8 ms and 4.8 ms, suitable for detecting and counting small objects with resolutions ranging from 0.9 mm to 25 mm and detection heights up to 2010 mm. Measurement grids are ideal for position and dimension control, with resolutions of 5 mm or 12 mm and measurement heights up to 1418 mm. Both types are housed in robust materials suitable for various industrial applications.
Ultrasonic Sensors: These sensors are designed for precise control of position, distance, height, and level, with sensing ranges up to 6000 mm. They feature diffuse/background suppression, reflex types, and robust housings in stainless steel or plastic. They are suitable for harsh environments and offer easy adjustment with a potentiometer and LED.
RFID Solutions: Contrinex provides RFID solutions with powerful RS485 networks for low and high-frequency systems. These systems are mechanically and chemically resistant, suitable for high temperatures, and compliant with ISO 15693. They support various interfaces, including IO-Link, USB, and Ethernet, making them versatile for industries like automotive, logistics, and packaging.
Safety Light Curtains: The Safetinex Slim light curtains are designed for environments with limited space, offering robust protection with a slim profile and no blind zones. They comply with safety standards EN/ISO 13849-1 and IEC 61496-1-2, providing reliable hand protection with automatic and manual restart modes.

IO-LINK FUNCTIONALITY* WITH INDUCTIVE SENSORS Data monitoring: Switching state is monitored continuously. This not only monitors the signal itself, but also the state at 80% of the switching distance. One can therefore ensure that the sensor is not working at the limit of its specifications. Diagnosis: The operating state of the sensor is checked. In case of wire break, under-voltage, LC oscillator break or installation of the wrong sensor, information is provided directly through IO-Link to enable fast repair, maintenance and replacement. NO/NC selection: The output switching mode can be selected...

IO-LINK FUNCTIONALITY* WITH PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS 1 Data monitoring: Detection status is monitored and continuously transmitted through IO-Link process data. This data contains both the detection state and the stability of detection (sufficient detection margin). It is possible, therefore, to determine whether the sensor is working too close to its detection threshold, for example due to window contamination. Diagnosis: The operating state of the sensor is checked. In case of wire break, under-voltage, disturbances on the receiver, sensor malfunction or installation of the wrong sensor, information...
