UC-L2M-B16 ultrasonic sensors

The German sensor pioneer Pepperl+Fuchs provides the E1-approved ultrasonic sensor technology for CAN-based applications. Machine builders can use the ultrasonic sensors with an integrated CAN interface in their mobile machines. This makes the costly and time-consuming integration of additional CAN interfaces obsolete.

UC-L2M-B16, the latest addition to the proven L2 product family enables convenient configuration of the sensor functions via CAN on a PLC, a PC (via DTM), or using a USB-to-CAN interface. Precise interference target suppression and the adjustable sound beam width enable an optimal adaptation to the application. Thus, protruding machine parts that could cause interference can be suppressed, while the sound beam can be adjusted without loss of the measuring range. Autonomous synchronization allows multiple ultrasonic sensors to be operated in close proximity to each other.

Once successfully parameterized, the UC-L2M-B16 sensors provide reliable measurements regardless of material, surface structure, and color – even under the most difficult environmental conditions. IP68 degree of protection, high EMC resistance, and an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C testify to the robustness of the sensors. To simplify the wiring of the devices on mobile machines, connections such as AMP and Deutsch are available in addition to variants with the round M12 connectors commonly used in industrial automation.
