Description

This industrial-grade ultrasonic distance sensor employs a precise Time-of-Flight (ToF) principle to measure object proximity from 10 to 80 cm. It transmits an ultrasonic pulse and calculates distance based on the echo return time, providing stable and repeatable readings suitable for automated control systems.

Housed in an IP65-protected enclosure, the sensor is resilient against dust ingress and water jets, making it suitable for outdoor or challenging industrial environments. Its RS485 Modbus RTU interface allows for easy daisy-chaining and integration into multi-node sensor networks, supporting configurable baud rates from 9600 to 115200 bps for flexible communication setup.

Key Features

  • Industrial Communication: RS485 Modbus RTU interface enables reliable long-distance data transmission and network integration.
  • High Precision Sensing: Delivers 1mm resolution and ±1cm accuracy within its specified 10-80 cm measurement range.
  • Robust Environmental Protection: IP65 rating ensures reliable operation in dusty or wet conditions.
  • Wide Voltage Input: Supports 5.0 to 12.0 V DC, compatible with common industrial and embedded power supplies.
  • Fast Response: Provides distance updates with a rapid 500ms response time for real-time monitoring.
  • Compact & Durable Build: Compact form factor with a durable housing designed for industrial mounting and longevity.

Applications

  • Industrial bin and hopper level monitoring for granular materials.
  • Object detection and positioning on automated assembly lines and robotic arms.
  • Parking guidance and vehicle presence detection in automated garages.
  • Liquid level sensing in protected outdoor tanks or reservoirs.
  • Proximity sensing for AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and mobile robots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol for this ultrasonic sensor?

This sensor uses an RS485 interface with the Modbus RTU protocol. It supports configurable baud rates (9600 to 115200 bps) and standard Modbus registers for reading distance values, making it compatible with PLCs, SCADA systems, and industrial data acquisition units.

What is the minimum and maximum measurable distance?

The sensor's effective measurement range is from 10 cm to 80 cm. Objects closer than 10 cm may not be detected reliably, and the maximum reporting distance is 80 cm as per its specified operating range.

Can this sensor be used outdoors?

Yes, the sensor's IP65 rating provides protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use or in damp industrial environments. However, it is not designed for submersion.

What power supply does this sensor require?

It operates on a wide DC voltage range of 5.0 to 12.0 volts. Ensure your power source is stable and can provide sufficient current. The RS485 communication lines should be connected according to standard A/B line conventions for proper network operation.
