Specifications
  • Device Variants: Four variants with sensing ranges from 30 mm to 8 m.
  • Resolution: 0.025 mm to 2.4 mm depending on the range.
  • Outputs: Options include 1 or 2 switching outputs (pnp or npn), analogue output (4–20 mA and 0–10 V), and combinations thereof.
  • Operating Voltage: 9–30 V DC with reverse polarity protection.
  • Temperature Compensation: Integrated for accuracy.
  • Protection Class: IP 67 for harsh environments.
Features
  • TouchControl: Digital display and buttons for easy configuration.
  • Synchronization and Multiplex Operation: Supports up to ten sensors simultaneously, with options for more using SyncBox1.
  • Teach-in Functionality: Simplifies setup of switching points and analogue outputs.
  • LinkControl: PC configuration via LinkControl adapter and software.
Additional Functions
  • Software Filters: Ten-stage filter options for environments with wave movements or obstructions.
  • Switching Hysteresis: Adjustable settings for outputs.
  • LED Display: Can be dimmed or turned off.
Applications
The sensors are ideal for automation tasks, level measurements, and environments with potential interference from adjacent sensors.
Technical Data
  • Transducer Frequency: 320 kHz or 400 kHz depending on the model.
  • Blind Zone: 30 mm to 65 mm.
  • Operating Range: 250 mm to 600 mm.
  • Accuracy: ± 1% with internal temperature compensation.
Conclusion
The mic+ ultrasonic sensors provide a robust solution for industrial measurement needs, offering high precision, flexibility, and ease of use with advanced features like synchronization and multiplex operation.
Electrical Data
Operating voltage ranges from 9 to 30 V DC with reverse polarity protection. The sensors have a low no-load current consumption and are designed to handle a switching frequency of up to 25 Hz.
Housing and Material
The sensors are housed in materials like brass sleeve, nickel-plated, and stainless steel, with plastic parts made from PBT and TPU. The ultrasonic transducer is made from polyurethane foam and epoxy resin with glass contents, ensuring durability and protection (IP 67) against environmental factors.
Operating Conditions
The sensors operate in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +70°C and can be stored at temperatures between -40°C to +85°C. They are lightweight, with weights varying from 150 g to 270 g depending on the model.
Accessories
Available accessories include KST5A-2/M12, KST5A-5/M12, BF-30, UF-90/M30, LCA-2, and SyncBox1, enhancing the functionality and installation of the sensors.

The mic+ sensor family in the M30 housing design covers a measuring range from 30 mm to 8 m with its five sensing ranges. The internal resolution of the distance measurement is 0.025 or 2.4 mm, depending on the sensing range. All sensors have integrated temperature compensation. TouchControl with LED display With TouchControl All settings are made on the sensors. The easy-to-read three-digit LED display constantly shows the current distance value and automatically switches between mm and cm display. Two buttons located below the LED display are used to call up the parameterisation and navigate...

Additional functions (add-ons) are available as options within the TouchControl menu structure: For example, the measured distance value can be applied with the ten-stage software filter from F00 (direct measured value output without filter effect) to P09 (very strong filtering and measured value attenuation). High measured value attenuation is useful for level measurements with wave movements or in situations where parts can sporadically fly between the sensor and the actual measuring surface. The F01 filter is set as standard. This means that the sensors are preset ex works for fast counting...

Synchronisation of up to ten sensors automatically also operates in a mixed configuration of sensors with different detection ranges. The measurement repetition rate is then determined by the sensor with the largest detection range. If the sensors are electrically connected via pin 5 of the M12 circular connector, the synchronisation is active. In synchronised operation, all sensors initiate the measuring process at exactly the same time. With relatively narrow mounting distances between the sensors, a sensor may also receive echo signals from an adjacent sensor. This can be used as an advantage,...

Sensor connected to the PC via LCA-2 for programming LinkControl consists of the LinkControl adapter and the LinkControl software and allows the mic+ sensors to be set up using a PC or laptop under all common Windows® operating systems. All settings from the TouchControl menu can be read out during operation, edited on the PC, temporarily stored and written back to the sensor. In particular, the two measurement recorders for visualising the distance values help in the development of solutions for complex automation tasks.
