The Panasonic EX-C212B is a diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor with a 2-meter detection range for opaque objects larger than φ4.5mm. Operating on 12-24V DC, it provides an NPN open collector output for direct integration with PLCs, industrial controllers, and 24V automation systems.

Features

  • 2-meter detection distance for opaque objects (φ4.5mm minimum)
  • 12-24V DC wide-range voltage input with low current consumption
  • NPN open collector output (max. 100mA, 30V DC)
  • IP65-rated enclosure for dust and water jet protection
  • Wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +55°C

Description

The Panasonic EX-C212B photoelectric sensor utilizes a red LED (626nm) light source and a diffuse-reflective sensing principle to detect objects without a separate reflector. Its integrated design provides stable detection of opaque targets at distances up to 2 meters.

Built with a PC+ABS shell and PC lens, the sensor is engineered for durability in industrial environments. The IP65 protection rating ensures reliable operation against dust ingress and water jets. Status indicators for power, operation, and stability facilitate quick commissioning and troubleshooting.

Key Features

  • Diffuse-reflective type with built-in emitter and receiver
  • Red LED light source (626nm wavelength) for visible beam alignment
  • Low residual voltage: ≤2V at 100mA load
  • Includes power (red), operation (green), and stability (yellow) LEDs
  • Standard 2-meter cable, extendable up to 100 meters
  • Wide storage temperature range: -30°C to +70°C
  • High-value build with robust PC+ABS housing

Applications

  • Conveyor belt object detection and counting in packaging lines
  • Machine guarding and presence sensing in automated assembly
  • Pallet and box positioning in material handling systems
  • Level detection for opaque bins and hoppers
  • Part verification and jam detection in industrial machinery

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output type of the Panasonic EX-C212B sensor and how do I wire it?

The EX-C212B provides an NPN open collector output. The output transistor switches the load connected between the output wire (black) and the positive supply (brown). The blue wire is the common negative. Ensure your load (e.g., PLC input, relay) is connected between the output and +V, respecting the maximum 100mA, 30V DC rating.

What is the minimum detectable object size at the full 2-meter range?

The sensor is specified to detect opaque objects with a diameter of 4.5mm (φ4.5mm) or larger at its maximum sensing distance of 2 meters. Detection of smaller objects or use in highly reflective environments may require a reduced operating distance for reliable operation.

Can the sensor's 2-meter cable be extended for remote mounting?

Yes, the standard 2-meter, 3-wire cable can be extended up to a total length of 100 meters. Use shielded cable for extensions longer than 10 meters to maintain signal integrity and minimize electrical noise interference in industrial settings.

What does the IP65 protection rating mean for installation?

IP65 indicates the sensor is dust-tight (6) and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction (5). It is suitable for washdown areas and dusty industrial environments but is not submersible or suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature cleaning.
