Transmit data interference-free with light

With the DDLS 500, Leuze electronic has developed a data transmission photoelectric sensor that, in addition to a high transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s, sets new standards – above all with respect to usability.

The devices transmit all common Ethernet protocols without time delay up to a distance of 120 m, be it PROFINET, Ethernet IP, EtherCat, Ethernet TCP/IP or Ethernet UDP. For quick inspection of the received signal level, they have a LED display that can be easily recognized at a distance of up to 120 m. This simplifies maintenance and diagnosis considerably. Through the modular basic design, the devices can be flexibly arranged. This applies to the operating ranges, heating and the integrated laser alignment aid, which greatly simplifies alignment over long distances. An integrated bubble level and the mounting plate with spring-loaded wobble elements also contribute to the simple alignment by just one person (patented single-hand adjustment process).
