Description

The Panasonic HG-C1400 photoelectric sensor employs a reflective sensing principle, where its integrated red laser emitter and receiver detect objects based on the reflection of light. This design eliminates the need for a separate reflector unit, simplifying installation. The sensor’s signal conditioning circuitry provides a stable, clean switching output for reliable object detection.

Built with an IP67-rated housing, the HG-C1400 is protected against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for demanding factory floor applications. Its operating temperature range of -10°C to 40°C ensures consistent performance in varied environmental conditions commonly found in automation and logistics settings.

Key Features

  • High-visibility red laser beam for precise alignment and long-range detection up to 400mm.
  • Robust IP67 protection rating for durability in harsh industrial environments with dust and moisture.
  • NPN (sinking) output configuration compatible with a wide range of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial control systems.
  • Flexible 12-24V DC supply voltage allows for easy integration into standard 24V industrial control panels.
  • Fixed cable connection provides a secure, strain-relieved interface for reliable long-term operation.
  • Compact form factor designed for easy mounting in space-constrained applications.

Applications

  • Object presence detection on conveyor belts and automated assembly lines.
  • Package counting and sorting in logistics and material handling systems.
  • Position verification of components in robotic pick-and-place machines.
  • Level detection for bins and hoppers in process control applications.
  • Machine guarding and safety interlock systems requiring reliable non-contact sensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the Panasonic HG-C1400 sensor?

The HG-C1400 operates on a DC supply voltage from 12V to 24V. This range is standard for industrial control systems, allowing direct connection to 24V PLC power rails or other common DC power sources without requiring an additional voltage regulator.

What does the NPN output configuration mean for wiring?

The NPN output is an open-collector, sinking output. This means the sensor's output transistor connects the load (e.g., a PLC input) to ground (0V) when active. The load must be connected between the positive supply voltage and the sensor's output wire. This configuration is common for PLCs with PNP-sourcing input cards.

Can the HG-C1400 be used outdoors or in wet conditions?

With its IP67 rating, the sensor is protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It is suitable for damp, dusty indoor industrial environments but is not specifically designed for prolonged outdoor exposure to UV radiation or extreme weather without additional protective housing.

What is the difference between reflective and through-beam photoelectric sensing?

The HG-C1400 uses a reflective (sometimes called 'diffuse reflective') method. The emitter and receiver are in the same housing. It detects an object when the emitted red laser light reflects off the object's surface back to the receiver. This contrasts with a through-beam system, which requires a separate emitter and receiver unit installed opposite each other, with detection occurring when an object breaks the beam.
