The retro-reflex sensor for transparent objects, such as clear glass, works with red light and a reflector. It has a IO-Link interface with a data storage function as well as additional configuration and diagnostic options. The interface can also be used to configure the sensor settings (PNP/NPN, NC/NO, switching threshold, error output) as well as for reading out switching statuses and signal values. The dynamic readjustment of the switching threshold function automatically adjusts this for contamination, aging, or temperature deviations, meaning that these factors have almost no effect on functionality.
