Product Information

Ultrasonic Sensor with One Analogue Output

The Ultrasonic Sensor with One Analogue Output is available in four different models: pico+15/TF/I, pico+25/TF/I, pico+35/TF/I, and pico+100/TF/I. Additionally, there are four other models with different specifications: pico+15/TF/U, pico+25/TF/U, pico+35/TF/U, and pico+100/TF/U. The sensor is used for non-contact detection of objects and has a blind zone of 20mm with an operating range of 150mm to 250mm depending on the model. The transducer frequency is 380kHz and the resolution is 0.069mm. The pin assignment for the sensor plug is shown in Figure 1.

Technical Data

Model| Blind Zone| Operating Range| Maximum Range| Transducer Frequency| Resolution
---|---|---|---|---|---
pico+15| 20mm| 150mm| 250mm| 380kHz| 0.069mm
pico+25| 20mm| 350mm| 250mm| see detection zone| 0.069 to 0.10mm
pico+35| 20mm| see detection zone| see detection zone| 320kHz| 0.069 to 0.10mm
pico+100| 20mm| 0.4m| 0m to 4m (first 5mm not recommended for mounting)| 320kHz| 0.069 to 0.10mm

Product Usage Instructions

1. Read the operating manual prior to start-up.
2. Connection, installation, and adjustments may only be carried out by qualified staff.
3. No safety component in accordance with the EU Machine Directive, use in the area of personal and machine protection not permitted.
4. Use for intended purpose only.
5. For the pico+100/TF, do not use it for mounting the first 5mm of the M22 thread on the side of the transducer.
6. Set sensor parameters via the Teach-in procedure using Diagram 1:
   • Set analog output by placing the object at position 1 and connecting Com for about 3s to +UB until both LEDs flash simultaneously.
   • Set window limits by placing the object at position 2 and connecting Com for about 1s to +UB, then connecting Com for about 13s to +UB until both LEDs flash alternately.
   • Set rising/falling output characteristic curve by connecting Com for about 1s to +UB.
7. To change output characteristics, connect Com for about 1s to +UB.
8. Reset to factory setting by switching off the power supply, then switching on the power supply until both LEDs flash simultaneously. Green LED indicates Teach-in and Yellow LED indicates Sync.
9. The sensors of the Pico+ family have a blind zone. Within this zone, a distance measurement is not possible.
10. Every time the power supply is switched on, the sensor detects its actual operating temperature and transmits it to the internal temperature compensation. The adjusted value is taken over after 120 seconds.
11. In the normal operating mode, an illuminated yellow LED signals that the object is within the adjusted window limits.

• pico+25/TF/I

Product Description

The pico+ sensor offers a non-contact measurement of the distance to an object that has to be present within the sensor’s detection zone. Depending on the settings window limits, a distance-proportional analog signal is output. The ultrasonic transducer surface of the pico+ sensors is laminated with a PTFE film. The transducer itself is sealed against the housing by a joint ring. This composition permits measurement in up to 0,5 bar overpressure. The window limits of the analog output and its characteristic can be adjusted via the Teach-in procedure. Two LEDs indicate the operation and the state of the analog output.

Safety instructions

• Read the operating manual prior to start-up.
• Connection, installation, and adjustments may only be carried out by qualified staff.
•  No safety component in accordance with the EU Machine Directive, use in the area of personal and machine protection not permitted

Use for intended purpose only
pico+ ultrasonic sensors are used for non-contact detection of objects.

Installation

• Mount the sensor at the place of the fitting. For the pico+100/TF, we recommend not to use for mounting the first 5 mm of the M22 thread on the side of the transducer.
• Connect a connection cable to the M12 device plug, see Fig. 1.

Pin assignment with view onto sensor plug and color coding of the microscopic connection cables

Start-up

• Connect the power supply.
• Carry out sensor adjustment in accordance with Diagram 1.

Factory setting

• The rising analog characteristic curve between the blind zone and the operating range.
• Multifunctional input »Com« set to »Teach-in«.

Synchronization
If the assembly distance falls below the values shown in Fig. 2, internal synchronization should be used. For this purpose set the switched outputs of all sensors in accordance to Diagram 1 at first. Then set the multifunctional output »Com« to »synchronization« (see »Further settings«, Diagram 1). Finally, connect pin 5 of the sensors plug of all sensors.
Maintenance
microscopic sensors are maintenance-free. In case of excess caked-on dirt, we recommend cleaning the white sensor surface.

Notes

• The sensors of the Pico+ family have a blind zone. Within this zone, a distance measurement is not possible.
• Every time the power supply is switched on, the sensor detects its actual operating temperature and transmits it to the internal temperature compensation. The adjusted value is taken over after 120 seconds.
• In the normal operating mode, an illuminated yellow LED signals the object is within the adjusted window limits.
• If synchronization is activated the Teach-in is disabled (see »Further settings«, Diagram 1).
• The sensor can be reset to its factory setting (see »Further settings«, Diagram 1).
• Optionally all Teach-in and additional sensor parameter settings can be made using the LinkControl adapter (optional accessory) and the LinkControl software for Windows©.
