Key features Detection method Diffuse sensor SOEG-RT, energetic With these sensors, which are sometimes referred to as energetic sensors, the transmitter and the receiver are located in the same housing. The light beam transmitted is reflected directly onto the receiver by the object. The intensity of the reflected light is then evaluated. The operating distance can be adjusted by changing the sensitivity of the receiver (using a potentiometer or the teach-in method). Diffuse SOEG-RTH with background suppression The operating distance is not adjusted according to the sensitivity of the receiver, but instead by means of optical triangulation, mechanical modification of the lens and receiver angle (size Q50) or electronically using PSD (Position-Sensitive Detector) elements. Object detection is therefore virtually independent of other objects in the background as well as colour, size or surface finish. Only a very small diffuse reflection is required for these devices. They are therefore not suitable for objects with shiny or slightly reflective surfaces. Benefits of diffuse sensors with background suppression Operating distance practically independent of colour and surface finish Can also be used with a shiny or reflective background Detection of small differences in distance Easy adjustment sensors are one of the most cost-effective solutions and can be installed in a very short time. However, these sensors are not suitable for some applications, e.g. the detection of slightly reflective objects against a highly reflective background. In addition, objects with different surfaces (with respect to material or colour) are detected at different distances because of the different reflective properties. Benefits of diffuse sensors (energetic) Longer operating distance More cost-effective Greater reliability in the detection of slightly reflective objects

Retro-reflective sensors With these sensors the transmitter and the receiver are located in the same housing. The light transmitted is thrown back to the receiver by means Retro-reflective sensors with two lenses The light is transmitted by the sensor using a lens. The reflected light is transmitted back to the sensor via a second lens. The switching point can vary slightly depending on the distance. The following sensors are retro-reflective sensors with two lenses: SOEG-RSP-M12/M18/M18W, SOEG-RSP-Q20/Q30 and SOEL-RSP-Q20 (laser). Benefits of retro-reflective sensors with two lenses Cost-effective of a reflector. An object located between the sensor and the reflector breaks the light beam and is thus detected. All Festo retro-reflective sensors use polarised light to prevent problems from occurring with reflective objects. There are two different types of retro-reflective sensor design: Retro-reflective sensors with two lenses Retro-reflective sensors with autocollimation

Key features Retro-reflective sensors with autocollimation With the principle of autocollimation, the optical axes of the send channel and the receive channel are identical. This is possible, since the light from one channel is deflected using a semitransparent mirror. This principle allows very short distances between the sensor and the reflector to be chosen. Retro-reflective sensors with autocollimation are ideally suited to transparent materials. The following sensors are retro-reflective sensors with autocollimation: SOEG-RSP-Q50, SOEL-RSP-Q50 (laser) and SOEG-RSG-Q20 (for transparent objects) Benefits of retro-reflective sensors with autocollimation No blind zone High precision across the entire sensing range Radially symmetrical sensing range Good repeatability Low hysteresis Detection of transparent objects (SOEG-RSG-Q20)

Through-beam sensors SOEG-S/E The transmitter and receiver are located in different housings, and must be installed opposite one another. Each object that breaks the light beam between the transmitter and the receiver is detected. This is one of the most reliable principles in harsh enviColour sensor Receiver RGB Diffuse reflection The operational principle of the colour sensor SOEC-RT is based on the use of just one light source. The LED transmits visible white light. Objects can be detected over a long distance irrespective of their size. The colour to be detected is simply set in the teach-in procedure. The sensor is then ready for operation immediately. It compares the object to be scanned with the learned reference colour and if they match it sets one of the three available switch outputs. With five adjustable tolerance values, the colour sensor can be optimally adapted to the colour to be scanned and to deviations from this colour. The sensor also supports sensing of an entire colour range. This is a very flexible method, which offers advantages in the case of irregular colour structures in imprints and paint finishes in particular. ronmental conditions. The disadvantage lies in the fact that two separate components (transmitter and receiver) have to be wired. Some transmitters for through-beam sensors have a test input. This can be used to switch the light on and off. The through-beam sensor can therefore be checked on the receiver side at regular intervals to ensure that it is functioning correctly.

White LED White light

Distance sensors Like light sensors with background suppression, which use PositionSensitive Detectors (PSD), these sensors transmit light to the object, Mounting Opto-electronic sensors must not be allowed to interfere with each other during operation. A certain minimum distance must thus be maintained between the devices. This distance depends primarily on the level of sensitivity set for the sensors. For sensors equipped with fibre-optic cables, the distance basically depends on the type of fibre-optic cable used. It is therefore not possible to define general values in this case. evaluate the diffuse reflection detected by the sensor and thus calculate the distance. At the analogue output there is a signal that is proportional to the distance between the object and the sensor.

Key features Types of reflection Diffuse reflection 1 Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light from an uneven or grained surface when an incident beam is reflected in many different directions. This type of reflection is in contrast to specular reflection (total reflection). If a surface is absolutely non-specular, the reflected light is distributed evenly over a hemispherical surface.

1 Incident light beams 2 Reflected light beams

Specular reflection (total reflection) Mirror Specular reflection is the perfect reflection of light (or other kinds of wave) from a surface, in which incident light from a single direction is reflected in a single direction. Such behaviour is described by the law of reflection. According to the law of reflection, the direction of the reflected light and the direction of the incident light make the same angle with respect to the axis of incidence; this is commonly expressed as i = r.

Axis of incidence

Retro-reflection Retro-reflection is the reflection of light back in the direction of the light source irrespective of the angle of incidence. In contrast, this is only true in the case of a mirror when the mirror is exactly perpendicular to the light beam. This type of reflection can only be achieved using special reflectors (see: Reflectors).

Sensors Optoelectronic sensors

Why are types of reflection important when using opto-electronic sensors? In the case of diffuse sensors (energetic), sensors with background suppression and distance and colour sensors, sensing is based on diffuse reflection. These sensors therefore require diffuse reflection to the greatest possible extent. Total reflection makes sensing difficult and must therefore be avoided. The type of reflection has no relevance in the case of retro-reflective sensors and through-beam sensors. In these cases the object only has to break the light beam. With retro-reflective sensors, polarising filters are used to achieve perfect differentiation between the reflection from the object as opposed to the reflector.

Key features Glossary Ambient light limit Ambient light is the luminous radiation generated by external light sources. The illumination intensity is measured on the receiver. Use of modulated light makes the devices insensitive to ambient light. There is, however, an upper limit to the permitted intensity of external luminous radiation. This limit is also referred to Fibre-optic cable Fibre sheath (low refractive index) Total internal reflection Fibre core (high refractive index) A fibre-optic cable can consist of a bundle of glass fibres, or one or more polymer fibres. It is used to conduct light from one place to another, even around bends and curves. This is made possible via the phenomenon of total internal reflection. Total internal reflection occurs whenever light from a material with a high refractive index impinges on the boundary between this material and a medium with a lower refractive index at an angle less than the maximum angle for total internal reflection. as the ambient light limit. It is specified in the technical data for sunlight (unmodulated light) and for halogen lamps (with double the mains frequency for modulated light). If the illumination intensity is above the respective ambient light limit, reliable operation of the devices can no longer be guaranteed.

Modulated light The devices in this catalogue use modulated light, i.e. the phototransmitter is only switched on briefly and remains switched off for a much longer time (ratio of approx. 1:25). With diffuse sensors and retro-reflective sensors, the receiver is only active during the light pulse. It is closed between the pulses. Operation with modulated light offers the following advantages: The devices are largely insensitive to ambient light Greater operating distances are possible Small temperature rise of the transmitter diodes and therefore longer service life

Laser The laser components currently offered by Festo comply with laser protection class 1 or 2 according to EN 60825-1/94 Laser protection class 1 Devices of laser protection class 1 are safe due to their low radiation level; these devices cannot pose a threat to human life. Protective eyewear is not required when using these devices; use of optical instruments for direct observation of the laser beam is also harmless. For devices of laser protection class 1 there is no obligation for identification provided the key laser data is included in the operating instructions. Laser protection class 2 Maximum radiant energy 1 mW (cw). (cw = continuous wave) Beam only in the visible spectral range Due to the high light intensity, the eye is protected by what is termed the lid shutting reflex ( 0.25 s) Suitable laser warnings must be attached to the device No protective measures required (cover, encapsulation, etc.) Class 2 lasers are completely harmless to use. No safety precautions are therefore required for devices of laser protection class 2. The presence of a laser protection officer is not required during use.

Operating distance The operating distance is the maximum possible distance between: The transmitter and receiver (throughbeam sensor), device and reflector (retro-reflective sensor) or device and object (diffuse sensor and sensor with background suppression). To obtain this maximum, a suitable setting must be made using a potentiometer or the teach-in procedure. In the case of retro-reflective sensors the specified reflector must be used. Unless otherwise specified in the technical data, the operating distance for diffuse sensors is determined using white paper (degree of reflection 90%) with the format 200 x 200 mm. With diffuse sensors, the compensation factors listed below apply to objects that differ from the standard object.

Key features Polarising filter Natural light (and light from the transmitter diodes) is unpolarised. However, when light goes through a polarising filter, only the portion of the original light that moves in the polarising direction of the filter is still available. Polarisation is retained with reflection on reflective surfaces; only the polarising direction may change in this case. On the other hand, diffuse reflection destroys polarisation. This difference is used for suppression of the interference effects on retro-reflective sensors caused by reflective surfaces. Operational reserve display The indicating circuit for the operating reserve detects the excess radiant energy which falls on the receiver. Operating reserve may diminish over a period of time due to contamination, changing reflection factor of the object to be scanned and ageing of the transmitter diode, so that reliable operation is no longer assured. Some devices are therefore equipped with a second LED, which indicates if less than approx. 80% of the available operating distance is used. In other devices, the yellow LED flashes when the available operating reserve is insufficient. With Q50 sensors, insufficient operating reserve is indicated by means of a red LED. Conditions in which reliable operation is no longer guaranteed can therefore be recognised at an early stage. Switching frequency The maximum switching frequency is determined with the aid of a rotating slotted disc. The disc, which is positioned in the light beam, is designed to produce a bright/dark ratio of 1:1. The maximum switching frequency is achieved when no output signal pulses are lost. Magnetic fields Permanent magnetic fields and lowfrequency alternating fields do not normally affect the function of photoelectric proximity sensors. Temperature influence The set operating distances are subject to a minor temperature influence. Most devices have temperature compensation, so that the influence is typically below 0.4%/C.

Retro-reflective sensors are equipped with polarising filters which ensure that they respond only to light returned by special reflectors. These reflectors function according to the principle of a corner cube. The choice of

the right reflector for a specific application will be given by the required operating distance and the available mounting facilities. The reflector should be installed perpendicular to the optical axis (tolerance 15).

Sensors SOEG-RTH with background suppression detect objects on the basis of their geometric position rather than the strength of the reflection. The objects are detected practically independently of their colour. It makes no difference how shiny any objects in the background are.

Detection of objects of different colours at the same distance and close to the background.

Colour-independent detection of trays.

Detection of lids of different colours on yogurt pots with a sensor SOEG-RTH with background suppression. Metallic lids can also be detected by inductive sensors SIEF.

Application examples Retro-reflective sensors

The laser retro-reflective sensors SOEL-RSP detect small gaps between objects.

The laser beam of a retro-reflective sensor SOEL-RSP can thus be set to detect variations in alignment.

After moulding, the laser retro-reflective sensor SOEL-RSP detects whether the workpieces are still in the metallic mould.

SOEG-RSG the perfect retro-reflective sensor for transparent objects.

Contrast sensor The laser contrast sensor SOEL-RTQ20 can detect a thread, even in a hole.

Distance sensor The laser distance sensors SOELRTD can gauge the shapes of different workpieces. Sensors Optoelectronic sensors

Colour sensor The colour sensor SOEC-RT-Q50 has three channels. Each of these channels can be adjusted separately by means of a simple teach-in procedure. Parts are sorted by colour using the colour sensor SOEC-RT-Q50.
