Description

The PONO WTA05-5M utilizes a time-of-flight (ToF) laser measurement principle with a 650nm wavelength to deliver precise, non-contact distance data. Its integrated signal conditioning provides stable readings across varying surface reflectivities, making it suitable for complex industrial sensing tasks.

Engineered for continuous operation, the sensor consumes an average of 23mA at 24V and features a compact, robust enclosure rated IP65 for protection against dust and water jets. The RS485 interface supports standard Modbus RTU protocol, enabling seamless daisy-chaining and integration into larger industrial control networks.

Key Features

  • Precision Laser Measurement: Delivers accurate distance data with a repeatability of ±5mm and an overall accuracy of ±10mm.
  • Industrial-Grade Communication: RS485 interface with Modbus protocol supports reliable data transmission over long distances in noisy environments.
  • Robust Environmental Protection: IP65-rated housing protects internal electronics from dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.
  • High-Speed Sampling: User-adjustable frequency from 1Hz to 2000Hz allows optimization for static or high-speed dynamic applications.
  • Wide Operating Voltage: 12-30VDC input range ensures compatibility with common industrial power supplies and PLC systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol for the WTA05-5M sensor?

The sensor uses an RS485 serial interface configured for the Modbus RTU protocol. This allows for reliable, multi-drop communication over long distances, making it suitable for integration with PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial data acquisition units. Standard Modbus registers are used to read distance values and configure parameters like the sampling frequency.

What is the operating voltage range and how do I power it?

The sensor operates from a 12–30VDC power supply. It is designed for direct connection to common industrial 24VDC systems. Ensure your power source can provide the required average current of 23mA and account for the peak current of up to 100mA during laser pulse operation for stable performance.

How does ambient light affect the sensor's performance?

The sensor is designed with strong ambient light immunity, capable of operating reliably under light intensities up to 3,000 Lux (3 Klux). Its 650nm laser and integrated optical filtering minimize interference from factory lighting or sunlight, ensuring consistent and accurate measurements in typical industrial environments.

Can the measurement sampling rate be adjusted?

Yes, the sampling frequency is adjustable from 1Hz to 2000Hz via the Modbus interface. The default frequency is 40Hz. This flexibility allows you to optimize the sensor for high-speed dynamic applications or to reduce data traffic and power consumption for slower, static measurements.
