Description
The Miniature Sensor provides a solution for applications in small
confined spaces. The Miniature Sensor is the smallest sensor in the
Photoelectric sensor portfolio. It offers various sensing modes, sensing
distances, auto PNP/NPN, push button/remote teach, and push button
lock options. Although miniature in size the features and performance
on this sensor are excellent reliability and competitive.
The Miniature Sensor is available in visible red status indicator models
in polarized retroreflective and fixed/adjustable background
suppression sensing modes. The teach button simplifies the setup
process and even provides the option to remote teach the sensor. The
sensor also has the option of light operate (L.O.) or dark operate (D.O.).
All Miniature Sensors have a unique “auto PNP/NPN” output, which
reduces the cost of stock and, simplifies selection, installation, and
maintenance.
The Miniature Sensor is an excellent solution to a broad range of
applications including industries such as automotive, packaging, and
material handling. These features make the Miniature Sensor easy to
apply in difficult applications, especially where space is a limitation.
Features
• Smallest sensor in the Rockwell Automation portfolio
• Auto NPN/PNP output
• Easy setup of switch points with teach button
•External teach capability
•IP67 enclosure
• Self-contained sensor

Default Settings
The factory default settings are as follows:
Sensing Range: Maximum Setting
Output Type: Auto PNP/NPN. In Auto PNP/NPN mode, the sensor
continuously monitors the load connection and automatically
configures the output to PNP or NPN.
Sensor User Interface
