wms ultrasonic distance sensors

Product catalog summary
Overview
The wms ultrasonic sensors by microsonic GmbH are designed for integration with customer-provided microprocessor controllers for signal evaluation. These sensors offer an economical alternative to self-contained sensors, requiring external control systems for operation.

Key Features
  • Trigger input for ultrasonic transmitter control.
  • Echo output for signal evaluation, with a load capacity of up to 10 mA.
  • Five detection ranges with measurement capabilities from 30 mm to 8 m.
  • Resolution of 0.36 mm and operating voltage between 10–30 V.

Specifications
  • Design: Cylindrical M18 and M30.
  • Measurement Method: Echo propagation time measurement.
  • Transducer Frequency: Ranges from 80 kHz to 400 kHz depending on the model.
  • Operating Temperature: -25°C to +70°C, with storage temperature from -40°C to +85°C.
  • Protection Class: IP 65 according to EN 60529.

Models and Ranges
  • wms-25/RT/HV/M18: Measuring range 30 - 350 mm, blind zone 30 mm, operating range 250 mm.
  • wms-35/RT: Measuring range 65 - 600 mm, blind zone 65 mm, operating range 350 mm.
  • wms-130/RT: Measuring range 200 - 2,000 mm, blind zone 200 mm, operating range 1,300 mm.
  • wms-340/RT: Measuring range 350 - 5,000 mm, blind zone 350 mm, operating range 3,400 mm.
  • wms-600/RT: Measuring range 800 - 8,000 mm, blind zone 800 mm, operating range 6,000 mm.

Materials and Construction
  • Materials include brass sleeve, nickel-plated, plastic parts, PBT, and polyurethane foam for the ultrasonic transducer.
  • Available in stainless steel versions for enhanced durability and chemical resistance.

Additional Features
  • Synchronization and multiplex capabilities.
  • No built-in controls or indicators.
  • Optional cable connections available upon request.

Description The wms sensors require connection to the customer's own control and signal evaluation equipment. wms - the inexpensive alternative to a self-contained sensor when the sensor must be controlled by the customer's system. A microprocessor control is normally required for this. The "transmitter" signal input briefly has to be set to -UB by the control unit via an open-collector circuit. As a result, an the wms sensor emits a sound pulse for the time of this signal. The "echo" signal output subsequently transmits all echo signals received depending on their duration as 1 bit values (echo...
