Introduction – What is M18-LP1600-A-P-PN?
The M18-LP1600-A-P-PN is an optical sensor belonging to the Photointerrupter Slot Type family. The specificity of this family is in its ability to provide high precision logic output, while operating within a wide power supply range (3 to 24 volts). The device utilises an IR (infrared) LED light source with a phototransistor detector. M18-LP1600-A-P-PN offers a long operating life as well as a low dissipation current.
Application Field
M18-LP1600-A-P-PN has a wide range of applications, due to its various features. Examples include machine tools, vending machines, ticket machines, and automotive sensors. Its infrared LED light source well as its low dissipation current makes it suitable for circuitry that requires a considerable life span. In addition, its precision logic output allows for a reliable detection of miniscule objects. This implies the possibility of using the device for accurate presence and position sensing within machines.
Working Principle
M18-LP1600-A-P-PN offers a unique operating principle. Operating voltage is supplied to the included IRLED, which in turn causes the LED to generate an infrared signal. This signal is then sent to the phototransistor detector, which is a semiconductor device. If the signal is blocked the photodetector responds by switching off its output. This causes the device to provide a logical ‘0’ output, while if the signal is uninterrupted the phototransistor output remains ‘1’.
The output of M18-LP1600-A-P-PN is edge triggered, meaning that it can detect signals (variable transitions) with a fast response time. This makes the device suitable for conditional monitoring that requires fast edge detection and reliable precision. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the device can be modulated in order to optimise performance in a variety of applications.
Conclusion
The M18-LP1600-A-P-PN is an optical sensor which belongs to the Photointerrupter Slot Type family. Its ability to provide a high precision logic output, while operating within a wide power supply range, makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its edge triggered output, along with its high sensitivity adjustability, make it perfect for applications seeking accurate readings in a fast response time.
