Light Curtain 20 Optical Axes, PNP Open Collector – BWP20-20P

Autonics Slim Plastic Single-Beam Area Sensor, BWP20-20P

PNP open collector, Infrared LED, 0.1 to 5 m sensing distance

The Autonics area sensor BWP20-20P comes in through-beam Sensing type, sensing distance of 0.1 to 5m, Optical axis pitch of 20mm and 380mm sensing height. This Autonics sensors are simple, general-purpose light screens that detect the passage of objects in specific areas.

As a quick report, this inductive proximity sensor provides:

• Through-beam type (direct beam) sensing type

• PNP open collector control output

• 0.1 to 5 m sensing distance

• 20 mm optical axis pitch

• Infrared LED (850 nm modulated) light source

• Light ON /Dark ON (set by switch) operation mode

• Reverse power, output short overcurrent protection circuit

• IP40 ingress protection structure according to IEC standards

• The temperature or humidity mentioned in Environment indicates a non freezing or condensation.

Body

This sensor’s case is made of Polycarbonate / Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, its sensing part is made of Polymethyl methacrylate.

The BWP20-20P features IP40 ingress protection.

The LED on its body acts as the process indicator:

• Emitter: frequency A indicator (green), frequency B indicator (yellow)
• Receiver: operation indicator (red), stable indicator (green)
• Emitter / receiver: Job indicator (red)
