The **OBG5000-R100-2EP-IO** is a high-performance retroreflective sensor manufactured by Pepperl+Fuchs. It is part of the R100 series, which integrates standard photoelectric functionality with the advanced IO-Link communication interface. --- ### ## Technical Electronic Specifications The following table summarizes the key electronic and operational characteristics: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Operating Voltage** | 10 ... 30 V DC | | **No-load Supply Current** | < 25 mA at 24 V Supply | | **Output Type** | 2 push-pull outputs (short-circuit protected, reverse polarity protected) | | **Switching Voltage** | max. 30 V DC | | **Switching Current** | max. 100 mA (resistive load) | | **Switching Frequency** | 1000 Hz | | **Response Time** | 0.5 ms | | **Interface Type** | IO-Link (via C/Q = Pin 4) | --- ### ### Core Electronic Components & Features #### 1. IO-Link Interface (Communication) This sensor features **IO-Link Revision 1.1**. Electronically, this allows for: * **Parameterization:** Setting sensitivity and output modes via software. * **Diagnostics:** Monitoring the health of the sensor and signal strength. * **Data Storage:** Automatic reconfiguration if a sensor is replaced. #### 2. Push-Pull Outputs Unlike standard NPN or PNP sensors, the "2EP" designation indicates two **Push-Pull** outputs. * **Versatility:** They can act as either NPN or PNP depending on the wiring. * **Efficiency:** They provide active high and active low signals, ensuring faster switching transitions and better noise immunity. #### 3. PowerBeam LED Technology The light source is a visible red LED (680 nm). * **Electronic Control:** The emitter is modulated to prevent interference from ambient light. * **Service Life:** Rated for approximately 100,000 hours at 25°C. #### 4. Multi-Turn Potentiometer / Push-button The device includes a combined tactile element for physical adjustment: * **Sensitivity adjustment:** Electronically scales the threshold for detection. * **Light-on/Dark-on:** Electronic switching of the output logic. --- ### ### Connection Diagram (M12 Plug) Most variants use a 4-pin M12 connector with the following electronic pinout: ```text Pin 1: L+ (10-30V DC) Pin 2: Q2 (Push-pull Output 2) Pin 3: L- (Ground/0V) Pin 4: C/Q1(IO-Link / Push-pull Output 1) ```
