SICK Photoelectric Sensor, Rectangular Sensor, PNP, IP50

SICK WI130 Series Photoelectric Sensor, 24V Maximum DC Voltage, 100mA Maximum Current - WI130T-P340

This photoelectric sensor detects object presence using optical sensing for use in industrial automation and control systems. It is designed for bracket mounting in machinery and production lines, offering a Compact rectangular form factor with a plastic enclosure and an M8 connector for straightforward integration.

Features and Benefits:

• PNP output provides sourcing signal for common PLC inputs Operates on 24V DC for standard control systems compatibility Response times down to 5 μs for high-speed detection needs IP50 rating allows protected indoor use in controlled environments Temperature range -25 °C to 55 °C supports varied ambient conditions 4-pin M8 connector enables compact, secure electrical connection

Applications

• Suitable for part detection on fast conveyor systems Ideal for counting or presence sensing in assembly equipment Used for machine cycle synchronisation where quick response is required Can be used with PLCs requiring PNP sensor inputs Used for bracket-mounted sensing on packaging machinery

What electrical current capability should I consider for integration?

The sensor accepts a maximum current of 100 mA, so ensure your input circuit and wiring can accommodate that continuous load.

Which Terminal arrangement is provided for wiring?

A 4-pin termination is available via the M8 connector, matching common industrial sensor cable assemblies.

How does the output Interface impact controller compatibility?

The PNP output sources positive voltage to the controller input, so pair it with PLC or input modules expecting sourcing signals.

What standards-related marking does the unit carry?

It is CE-marked, indicating conformity with relevant EU directives for electronic equipment.

Are there multiple switching speeds to choose from?

The device offers selectable or variant response behaviours spanning 5 μs, 60 μs and 500 μs to suit different application speeds.
