FX-551P-C2 Panasonic Through Beam Sensors

Panasonic FX-551P-C2 is an amplifier for sensors, specifically a digital fiber sensor amplifier featuring a red LED with a 2m cable. It is designed with a polycarbonate case cover and polyacetal switches, ensuring durability. This part comes pre-wired with a 2m length 0.2mm2 3-core cabtyre cable terminated with bare end flying leads for easy integration. It operates within an ambient air temperature range of -10 to +55 °C and offers a degree of protection rated at IP40. The FX-551P-C2 includes functions such as interference prevention, OFF-delay/ON-delay timer ranging from 0.1ms to 32s, and a one-shot timer, enhancing its versatility in application. It features outputs short-circuit protection for safety and reliability in operation. With a light wavelength of 660 nm and operating modes that include Light-ON and Dark-ON, it caters to a variety of sensing needs. The current consumption is 40mA (0.04 A) under normal conditions and 28mA (0.028 A) in eco mode, both at 24Vdc. It provides one digital output (PNP open-collector / 24Vdc / 100mA) and boasts a response time that varies from 60µs to 24ms depending on the setting. The unit is equipped with a 4-digit red LED display and a 4-digit green LED display for clear, immediate feedback. Power consumption is 0.96 W in normal mode and 0.68 W in eco mode, making it an energy-conscious choice for sensor amplification needs.
