Manufacturer : IFM Electronic GmbH (Niemcy)
Series: O1D – Laser Distance Sensors
Sensor Type
• Optical / photoelectric distance sensor with visible laser
• Laser class: IEC 60825-1:2014 Class 2 (for visible light)
• Protection class: IP67
Measuring Range (Detectable Distance)
• 0.2 m to 10.0 m (200 mm … 10,000 mm)
Outputs / Signals
• Two digital outputs (OUT1, OUT2), configurable
• IO‑Link version (digital communication capability)
• Analog function possible (analog scaling of measured value)
Power Supply / Rated Current
• Supply voltage: 18…30 V DC
• Current consumption: up to approx. 150 mA (maximum)
Accuracy / Repeatability
• Accuracy and repeatability depend on conditions and distance – configurable via menu
• Measurement frequency up to ~50 Hz (depending on settings)
User Interface / Configuration
• 4‑digit alphanumeric display (for information and measurement readings)
• Programming buttons / menu for setting parameters (switching threshold, hysteresis, window, etc.)
• Modes: continuous measurement, laser off, advanced functions, etc.
Housing and Connectors
• Industrial housing
• Connector: M12 × 1, 4‑pin
• Sensor operates in background suppression mode
Additional Functions / Special Features
• Scalable measuring range (to adapt to the application)
• Window functions, hysteresis, delay, interference suppression
• “Laser off” mode – temporary laser deactivation for safety or energy saving
• IO‑Link communication allows remote parameterization and monitoring
Applications:
• Accurate measurement of object distances up to 10 m
• Position and presence monitoring of components in conveyor and production systems
• Level measurement (e.g., tanks, containers, silos)
• Detection of shiny or dark objects (thanks to the visible laser)
• Use in industrial automation, robotics, and logistics
Key Features:
• Visible laser beam facilitates sensor alignment
• Display with menu allows configuration without a computer
• High mechanical strength housing, mounting with M4 screws
• IO‑Link versions enable integration with remote diagnostic systems
