Aotoro ED30-D30C4 Photoelectric Sensor 30cm Diffuse Reflective M30 Type 12-24VDC

Light ON mode means the sensor's output switches ON (conducts) when it detects a reflected light signal (target present). Dark ON mode means the output switches ON when no reflection is detected (target absent). The selector switch on the sensor body allows you to choose the logic that best fits your control system, such as using a normally-open or normally-closed input on your PLC.

Diffuse reflective sensors like the ED30-D30C4 can struggle with highly transparent or mirror-like shiny objects, as these materials may not reflect sufficient diffuse light back to the receiver. For such applications, a through-beam or retro-reflective sensor type is generally recommended. For best results, test the specific target material within the stated 30cm range.

Connect the Brown wire to your 12-24VDC positive supply, the Blue wire to the DC common/negative, and the Black wire to your PLC's digital input. The sensor provides a switched DC output (sourcing type) on the Black wire. Ensure you connect a suitable load (e.g., the PLC input) between the Black wire and the positive supply to complete the circuit.

While the exact response time is not specified in the provided data, photoelectric sensors of this type typically offer response times in the range of 1-5 milliseconds. This fast response is suitable for high-speed counting and detection applications on fast-moving conveyor lines.

Yes, the M30 x 1.5 metric thread is an industry-standard size for cylindrical sensors. The included mounting accessories typically consist of two CubePilot nuts and a lock washer, allowing you to secure the sensor through a panel or mounting bracket and lock it in position.
