Datalogic S62 Photoelectric Sensors: Background Suppression, Diffuse and Retroreflective Models

· 2 min read

Datalogic S62 photoelectric sensors compared

The Datalogic S62 is a compact rectangular photoelectric sensor (about 18 x 50 x 50 mm) used on conveyors, packaging machines and assembly lines. One housing comes in several sensing modes, so a plant can standardise on one mounting style and choose the optical function for each position.

S62 models compared

Model Sensing mode Range Output Connection
S62-PA-5-M01-PP Background suppression, short 30 … 300 mm PNP M12 4-pole
S62-PA-2-M01-PN Background suppression, short 30 … 300 mm PNP/NPN 2 m cable
S62-PA-5-M11-PP Background suppression, medium 60 … 600 mm PNP M12 4-pole
S62-PA-2-C11-PN Long diffuse proximity 0 … 2000 mm PNP/NPN 2 m cable
S62-PA-5-B01-PP Polarized retroreflective 0.1 … 8 m PNP NO/NC M12 4-pole

All S62 models use a red LED (640 nm), run on 10 … 30 Vdc, respond in 500 µs, switch up to 1 kHz and are rated IP67 for operation from -10 to 55 °C.

Which S62 to choose

  • Background suppression (M01, M11): detects the object and ignores whatever is behind it, set with a 6-turn distance trimmer. Best when objects change colour or a shiny machine frame sits behind them.
  • Long diffuse (C11): no reflector needed, up to 2 m on suitable targets. Good for large objects such as cartons and bins.
  • Polarized retroreflective (B01): works with a reflector up to 8 m and ignores shiny objects. Good for crossing wide conveyors.

PN or PP?

The last letters show the output. PP versions have a PNP output; PN versions offer PNP/NPN, which makes them flexible replacements. Check your PLC input type before ordering.

Applications

  • Box and carton detection on conveyors
  • Product presence on filling and capping machines
  • Level and stack height checks
  • Pallet and tote detection in material handling
