BRQM100-DDTA - Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors

The BRQM100-DDTA refers to a cylindrical photoelectric sensor, which is likely part of a series of sensors designed to detect the presence or absence of objects, measure distance, or identify specific characteristics of objects in various industrial applications.

To give you a more detailed understanding:

Key Features of Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensors (like the BRQM100-DDTA):

1. Cylindrical Form Factor These sensors typically have a cylindrical shape, making them easy to mount in tight spaces or integrate into machinery. The cylindrical body often means they can be used in environments where space or mounting options are limited.

2. Photoelectric Detection The sensor works by emitting light (usually infrared) from a transmitter and then detecting the light reflected by the object. The presence or absence of the reflected light signals whether an object is in the detection zone.

3. Detection Type

   - Through-beam The sensor has a separate transmitter and receiver. The presence of an object is detected when the beam is interrupted.

   - Retroreflective The sensor uses a reflector to send the light back to the receiver, and object detection occurs when the light is interrupted or changes in intensity.

   - Diffuse The sensor detects the light that is reflected from an object without the need for a separate reflector.

4. Output Types 

   - NPN/PNP The output can be either NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing), which determines how the sensor connects with the control system.

   - Analog Output Some photoelectric sensors may offer an analog output proportional to the distance or intensity of the detected object.

5. Application Areas

   - Automated Systems Used in assembly lines, packaging, and robotics for object detection.

   - Safety Can be employed in safety systems to detect personnel or equipment.

   - Sorting & Counting Used in sorting systems to identify or count objects moving along a conveyor belt.

6. Environmental Considerations

   - Operating Range Photoelectric sensors have different operating ranges, and some are suitable for very long distances (e.g., 10 meters or more).

   - IP Rating The sensor™s enclosure might be rated for protection against dust, water, or harsh industrial environments (e.g., IP65, IP67).

   - Temperature Range Suitable for various temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in industrial settings.

Specific Model: BRQM100-DDTA

Unfortunately, I don™t have the exact datasheet for the BRQM100-DDTA model on hand, but based on its name and typical features, this sensor would fall under the category of photoelectric sensors with cylindrical bodies used for detecting objects in industrial or automation applications.

If you're looking for precise specifications (detection range, power supply, output type, etc.), I would recommend checking the manufacturer™s datasheet or contacting the manufacturer directly. Most sensors of this type will have a range of around 5-20 meters and support different output configurations depending on the model.

Do you need further details on applications or installation tips for these sensors? Or perhaps some help finding a datasheet?
