New generation of ucs ultrasonic sensors: robust metal housing and new IO-Link interface

Dortmund, August 2024 – The latest generation of ucs sensors is now equipped with two Push-Pull switching outputs. They feature an IO-Link interface in version 1.1.2 and Smart Sensor Profile. In addition to the measured distance values, identification, status and diagnostic values can be transmitted at the same time via IO-Link. Maximum range or switching points can be easily set via IO-Link, which significantly increases operating comfort. Two detection ranges are available: 250 mm and 350 mm.

ucs ultrasonic sensors detect all types of objects, whether solid, liquid, powdery or transparent, without contact. The ucs ultrasonic sensors in a robust metal housing are mechanically compatible with the industry standard for opto-sensors. This makes it easier to switch to ultrasonic sensors for critical applications in harsh environments.
