Highlights

  • Robust metal housing for harsh usage conditions
  • Dovetail design for fast installation
  • Mechanically compatible with the industry standard a true alternative to the optical sensor
  • IO-Link interfacefor support of the new industry standard
  • Smart Sensor Profile more transparency between IO-Link Devices
  • Automatic synchronisation for simultaneous operation of up to ten sensors in close quarters
  • UL Listed to Canadian and US safety standards

Basics

  • 2 Push-Pull switching outputs pnp or npn basis
  • Antivalent switching output F1
  • microsonic Teach-in using a button
  • 0.1 mm resolution
  • Temperature compensation
  • 10–30 V operating voltage
  • LinkControl for configuration of sensors from a PC

Sensor matrix

The sensor matrix gives an overview of standard sensors from ucs family. Make your choice based on operating range and available outputs and click in the matrix.

The sturdy metal housing

of the ucs sensors is mechanically compatible with the industrial standard of optical sensors. The rotatable circular connector allows for flexible selection of the mounting location and facilitates flexible wiring.

The ucs sensors

Symbolische Darstellung 2 Schaltausgängeare available with 2 Push-Pull switching outputs in pnp- or npn-circuitry with IO-Link interface.

By default, switching output F1 works antivalent to switching output F2. Using LinkControl or IO-Link, the antivalence of switching output F1 can be canceled.

The Teach-in button

on the sensor´s top allows for a convenient setting of the desired detection distance and operating mode.

A dual LED

indicates the switching status of the two switching outputs.

New! With the internal alignment assistance

the sensor can be optimally aligned to the object during installation.

ucs sensor using alignment assistance

The ucs sensors have three operating modes:

  • Single switching point
  • Two-way reflective barrier
  • Window mode

The switching output is set

  • by positioning the object to be detected within the desired distance (1) to the sensor, pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds and then pressing it once more for approx. 1 second. Ready.

A two-way reflective barrier

can be set up with the help of a permanently mounted reflector by mounting the ucs sensor and the reflector, then pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds and then pressing it once more for approx. 10 seconds. Now, the two-way reflective barrier has been set.

Set a window

by initially positioning the object to be detected on the sensor-close window limit (1), pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds, shifting the object to the sensor-distant window limit (2) and pressing the button once more for approx. 1 second. Ready.

Synchronisation using pin 5
Synchronisation using pin 5

Up to ten sensors

can be synchronised with one another. To do this, all the sensors are electrically connected on pin 5 on the M12 circular connector.

If more than 10 sensors must be synchronised, this can be carried out with the SyncBox1 , which is available as an accessory

LinkControl

optionally permits the extensive parameterisation of ucs sensors. The LCA-2 LinkControl adapter, which is available as an accessory, can be used to connect ucs sensors to the PC.

IO-Link integrated

in version 1.1.2 The ucs ultrasonic sensors are equipped with Smart Sensor Profile, which creates more transparency between IO-Link devices.
