The pico+ ultrasonic sensors are a compact series with M18 threaded sleeves and a housing length of only 41 mm. In addition to the variants with an axial beam direction, there is also a housing variant with a 90° angled head and radial beam direction. With four detection ranges from 20 mm to 1.3 m and three different output stages, this sensor family covers a wide range of applications. Sensors with the Push-Pull output stage support SIO and IO link modes. Sensors with analogue output are optionally available with 4–20 mA current output or 0–10 V voltage output. In SIO mode, sensors are configured...

Teach-in of an analogue characteristic or a window with two switching points Easy to synchronise A number of pico+ sensors can be run closely packed in applications synchronised to stop them from influencing one another. To this end, the sync mode has to be activated and all the sensors are to be electrically connected one to another with pin 5. If more than 10 sensors must be synchronised, this can be carried out with the SyncBox1 , which is available as an accessory. In instances of where a number of sensors are run at an IO-Link master, then the master's function is to assume synchronisation....
