Overview
The Balluff BOS 6K-PU-1HA-S75-C is a microprocessor-based diffuse photoelectric sensor with electronic background suppression. This 20-100mm sensing-range model operates on 10-30VDC supply and delivers both NO and NC outputs via PNP logic, making it compatible with standard industrial control systems. The S75 M8×1 connector provides robust field-installable termination.
Key Features
- Background Suppression: Electronic suppression eliminates false triggers from reflective surfaces beyond the target range, ideal for detecting objects in cluttered environments or against variable backgrounds.
- Microprocessor Control: Integrated microprocessor automatically adjusts sensor performance for optimum operation in each application.
- Dynamic Teach-In: Push-button and remote teach-in process learns target characteristics automatically—even at full production speed.
- Visual & Laser Indication: Laser and visible red light source simplifies alignment and troubleshooting; status LEDs indicate output function and sensor health.
- IP67 Sealed Housing: Fully sealed design protects against dust, moisture, and washdown environments.
- Programmable Logic: Selectable light-on or dark-on detection modes adapt to diverse sensing scenarios.
