IO-Link Photoelectric Sensors
IO-Link-enabled photoelectric sensors provide reliable object detection and include enhanced diagnostics, configuration data, and remote parameter changes. Smart sensors also feature onboard processing functions, independent of a PLC, such as counting, speed measurement, or complex data filtering.

Photoelectric sensors are used in a variety of object detection applications and activate when emitted light is interrupted or reflected by a sensed object. These sensors will send a signal back to the controlling device to indicate when an object is being detected. Wenglor and Contrinex brand IO-Link capable photoelectric sensors can also provide diagnostic, performance, and configuration data, along with the object detection signal, to the controlling device.
