Sensore ottico Datalogic 950811030, fotocellula a diffusione/barriera a unidirezionale (modello 950811030)

Datalogic 950811030 is a photoelectric sensor designed for object detection in industrial automation. This diffuse/through-beam type sensor is part of Datalogic's S100 miniature family, offering compact dimensions and a mounting concept with four fixing holes (two threaded on the front and two slotted on the rear) for flexible installation on conveyors, packaging machinery and assembly equipment. The sensor provides non-contact presence/absence detection suitable for integration with PLCs and control systems where reliable optical sensing is required.

Advantages

The S100 form factor delivers a very small footprint with dimensions of 20 x 32 x 12 mm, enabling installation in confined spaces. The four-hole mounting pattern gives versatile mechanical attachment options for different machine layouts. The S100 series removes manual adjustments from the sensor body, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of inadvertent tampering. The platform includes an ASIC that enables IO-Link programmability and dual output channels while avoiding digital output jitter during communication, improving repeatability and integration reliability.

Suitable for

• Presence and absence detection on conveyor lines
• Object detection in packaging and labeling machinery
• Part sensing in assembly and handling equipment
• Integration with PLCs and IO-Link based control systems

Key specifications

• Sensor type: photoelectric (diffuse/through-beam)
• Series form factor: miniature S100
• Dimensions: 20 x 32 x 12 mm
• Mounting: four fixing holes (two threaded front, two slotted rear)
• Connectivity: IO-Link programmability (ASIC-based)
• Outputs: dual output channels with stable digital signaling during communication

How to use

Mount the sensor using the available threaded and slotted fixing holes to align the sensing axis with the target path. Connect the sensor to the control system and configure IO-Link parameters if required to set detection thresholds, timing, or output behaviour. For through-beam arrangements, align emitter and receiver units across the detection gap; for diffuse use, orient the sensing face toward the target surface. Test detection performance with representative objects and adjust IO-Link settings from the master device rather than mechanically altering the sensor.

Recommendations

Install the sensor in locations protected from direct mechanical impact and excessive contamination; perform initial alignment and configure parameters via IO-Link to ensure repeatable detection. Use appropriate mounting hardware to secure the sensor in the slotted or threaded holes and verify compatibility with the surrounding machine wiring and control logic before putting the line into production.
