A Category 3 PLd Safety System can be built by using Category 4 PLe compliant controllers together with our sensors
*1 Safety-related parts of control systems, Part 1: General principles for design
*2 Conformed from December 2021 production.

■ Category 3, PLd construction example

Category 3, PLd construction example

[Precautions when using as Category 3 PLd]
Sensor redundancy is required!
Observe the following when connecting to the safety controller.
・In the case the product is used in a standalone state, the safety system may not operate properly when a sensor malfunction occurs.

 CAUTION  
The product cannot be used for human body detection.

■ Application examples

[Required conditions]

1.The source of hazards is located inside the machine and may cause hazards to nearby people.

2.The equipment is classified as Category 3 PLd or lower.

3.The source of hazards is isolated only by the automatic door.

* The product can be used safely when all of the above conditions 1 through 3 are satisfied!

* There are cases where you can use it under other conditions.

Application examples

*Be sure to read the "Cautions For Use" when using for safety applications.

Smallest body, just 3.5 mm 0.138 in thick

It can be mounted in a very small space as its size is just
W10 x H14.5 x D3.5 mm
W0.394 x H0.571 x D0.138 in (thru-beam, front sensing type).

Smallest body, just 3.5 mm 0.138 in thick

Flexible mounting

The diffuse reflective type sensor is front sensing and is so thin that it gives an impression of being just pasted on the mounting base. The thru-beam type is available as front sensing type, as well as, side sensing type, allowing flexible mounting.

Flexible mounting

Electric power saving

The EX-10 series achieves reductions in power consumption of up to 65 %. These sensors contribute to environmental friendliness.

High-speed response time: 0.5 ms

The sensor is suitable for detecting small and high-speed traveling objects.

High-speed response time: 0.5 ms

Minimum sensing object: ø1 mm ø0.039 in [EX-11(E)□, EX-15(E)□]

EX-11□, EX-11E□, EX-15 and EX-15E are incorporated with ø1 mm ø0.039 in slit masks so that ø1 mm ø0.039 in, or more, object can be detected. Hence, they are suitable for precise positioning or small parts detection.

Minimum sensing object: ø1 mm ø0.039 in [EX-11(E)□, EX-15(E)□]

Long sensing range: 1 m 3.281 ft [EX-19□]

A sensing range of 1 m 3.281 ft has been realized with a slim size of just 3.5 mm 0.138 in. It can be used to detect even wide IC trays.

Long sensing range: 1 m 3.281 ft [EX-19□]

Background suppression [EX-14□]

- Hardly affected by background
Even a specular background separated by 100 mm 3.937 in, or more, is not detected. (However, the background should be directly opposite. A spherical or curved background may be detected.)

Background suppression [EX-14□]

- Black object reliably detected
It can reliably detect dark color objects since it is convergent reflective type.

Incorporated an inverter countermeasure circuit

The EX-10 series become significantly stronger against inverter light and other extraneous light.

Waterproof IP67

The sensors features an IP67 rating to allow their use in process lines where water is used or splashed.
Rust-resistant stainless steel sensor mounting brackets are available.

Note: If water splashes on the sensor during sensing operation, it may sense water as an object.

Bending durability [EX-□-R]

Bending-resistant cable type EX-□-R is available. It is most suitable for moving parts, such as robot arm, etc.

Mountable with M3 screws

Non-corrosive stainless steel type sensor mounting bracket is also available.
Note: Sensor mounting brackets can not be used for the narrow beam type (EX-□S□).

Red beam makes beam alignment easy

The red LED beam projected from the emitter helps you to align the sensor heads.

Less resources used

Based on environmental considerations, simplified packaging is used in order to reduce waste.
In addition, the bag is made from polyethylene which produces no toxic gases even when burned.

Optical properties of side sensing types (EX-□E□)
Due to the optical properties of side sensing types, note that sensing may be affected if multiple sensors are positioned in such a way that optical axes intersect as shown in the diagram below.

Beam from Emitter 1
may be caught by Receiver 2.

There is no problem when sensors are installed in parallel
(although the distance between sensors should be ℓ × 2 or more).

Correlation between lightness and sensing range

EX-14□ Correlation between lightness and sensing range

The sensing region (typical) is represented by oblique lines in the left figure. However, the sensitivity should be set with enough margin because of slight variation in products.

(Lightness shown on the left may differ slightly from the actual object condition.)


Correlation between material (50 × 50 mm 1.969 × 1.969 in) and sensing range

EX-14□ Correlation between material (50 × 50 mm 1.969 × 1.969 in) and sensing range

The bars in the graph indicate the sensing range (typical) for the respective material.
However, there is a slight variation in the sensing range depending on the product.
Further, if there is a reflective object (conveyor, etc.) in the background of the sensing object, since it affects the sensing, separate it by more than twice the sensing range shown in the left graph.

Operation mode switch

(EX-15□, EX-15E□, EX-17□ and EX-17E□ only)

Operation mode switch

Switch
position		Description

Light-ON mode is set when the switch is turned fully clockwise (L side).

Dark-ON mode is set when the switch is turned fully counterclockwise (D side).

Others

  • This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
  • This product is suitable for indoor use only.
  • Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the power supply is switched on.
