The pico+ sensor family now has an analogue addition

The future belongs to the IO-Link. Even so, there is still a long life left for the ultrasonic sensor with analogue output. That is why microsonic GmbH has now extended the M18 pico+ product range with sensors of a 0–10 voltage output and a 4–20 mA current output.

The pico+ ultrasonic sensors are the smallest M18 sensors in the manufacturer's range. They have a 30 mm blind zone and a slim beam spread. Thanks to a 0.2 mm resolution they even scan small objects with a maximum degree of precision. All pico+ sensors can be had in 3 ranges and 2 housing variants.

The proven microsonic teach-in procedure allows the analogue characteristic to be set and the output characteristic switched over from the rising to the falling one. Both the switching design of the IO-Link interface and the analogue pico+ sensors are supported by the microsonic LinkControl software for extensive parameterization purposes.
