Key Features

Dual Digital Outputs: Features one PNP (sourcing) and one NPN (sinking) output. This provides maximum compatibility with both sinking and sourcing input modules on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) without requiring external relays.

Programmable Switching Logic: Each output can be independently configured to operate in Light-On or Dark-On mode (also known as NO/NC operation), offering extreme flexibility for application design.

Easy Teach-In Configuration: The measuring window (the distance range where the output switches) is easily set using the integrated push-button, allowing for quick setup without any programming tools.

Excellent Environmental Immunity: Ultrasonic technology is unaffected by the target object's color, transparency, or surface texture. It also performs reliably in the presence of dust, mist, steam, and aerosols that would disrupt optical sensors.

Clear Status Indication: Two bright LEDs provide clear visual feedback on the power status and the current switching state of the outputs for easy commissioning and troubleshooting.

Robust Metal Housing: The M30 x 1.5 threaded metal housing provides high mechanical strength and an IP67 protection rating, ensuring reliable operation in harsh and wet industrial environments.

5. Typical Applications

The UM30-213114 is perfect for applications requiring robust presence detection or simple position verification with two separate switching points.

End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT): Detecting if a gripper is open or closed, or verifying the presence of a picked part on a robot.

Palletizing & Logistics: Checking for the presence of pallets, boxes, or goods on a conveyor line at two different points.

Machine Guarding: Non-contact monitoring of guard door position (open/closed).

Material Handling: Differentiating between different object heights or monitoring fill levels in small bins with high and low-level switches.
