ucs ultrasonic sensors

Product catalog summary
Overview
The UCS ultrasonic sensors by microsonic GmbH are designed for industrial applications, featuring a robust metal housing compatible with optical sensor standards. They offer a reliable alternative to optical sensors with advanced features such as IO-Link interface and automatic synchronization.

Key Features
  • Robust metal housing suitable for harsh conditions.
  • Dovetail design for quick installation.
  • IO-Link interface for industry standard support.
  • Automatic synchronization for up to ten sensors.
  • UL Listed for Canadian and US safety standards.
  • Push-Pull switching outputs with pnp or npn basis.
  • Temperature compensation and 0.1 mm resolution.

Technical Specifications
  • Operating voltage: 10–30 V DC with reverse polarity protection.
  • Resolution: 0.10 mm, accuracy ± 1% with internal temperature compensation.
  • Operating temperature: -25°C to +70°C, storage temperature: -40°C to +85°C.
  • Protection class: IP 67 according to EN 60529.
  • Material: Zinc die-casting with plastic parts and PBT.

Operating Modes
  • Single switching point: Set by positioning the object and using the Teach-in button.
  • Two-way reflective barrier: Set using a reflector and the Teach-in button.
  • Window mode: Set by defining sensor-close and sensor-distant window limits.

Synchronization and Configuration
  • Up to ten sensors can be synchronized using pin 5 on the M12 connector.
  • LinkControl allows extensive parameterization via PC using the LCA-2 adapter.
  • IO-Link version 1.1.2 with Smart Sensor Profile for enhanced device transparency.

Models
  • UCS-15/CFF: Measuring range 20-250 mm, transducer frequency 380 kHz.
  • UCS-24/CFF: Measuring range 55-350 mm, transducer frequency 500 kHz.

Additional Information
  • Both models feature a cuboidal design and narrow sound field.
  • Short-circuit-proof outputs with adjustable NOC/NCC settings.
  • Indicators include a Duo-LED for switching status.

ucs ultrasonic sensors-3

Description The sturdy metal housing of the ucs sensors is mechanically compatible with the industrial standard of optical sensors. The rotatable circular connector allows for flexible selection of the mounting location and facilitates flexible wiring. The ucs sensors are available with 2 Push-Pull switching outputs in pnp- or npn-circuitry with IO-Link interface. By default, switching output F1 works antivalent to switching output F2. Using LinkControl or IO-Link, the antivalence of switching output F1 can be canceled. The Teach-in button on the sensor´s top allows for a convenient setting of...

Single switching point Two-way reflective barrier Window mode The switched output is set by positioning the object to be detected within the desired distance (1) to the sensor, pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds and then pressing it once more for approx. 1 second. Ready. Teach-in of a switching point A two-way reflective barrier can be set up with the help of a permanently mounted reflector by mounting the ucs sensor and the reflector, then pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds and then pressing it once more for approx. 10 seconds. Now, the two-way reflective barrier has been set. Teach-in...

ucs ultrasonic sensors-5

Teach-in of a window with two switching points Up to ten sensors can be synchronised with one another. To do this, all the sensors are electrically connected on pin 5 on the M12 circular connector. If more than 10 sensors must be synchronised, this can be carried out with the SyncBox1 , which is available as an accessory. LinkControl optionally permits the extensive parameterisation of ucs sensors. The LCA-2 LinkControl adapter, which is available as an accessory, can be used to connect ucs sensors to the PC.
