Carlo Gavazzi Sensors

Universal, Smart, Easy

Data availability down to the field level

Using IO-Link, the sensors can deliver their data directly into the control system very efficiently.

Device identification

Each IO-Link sensor has an IODD (IO Device Description), which describes the sensor, its capabilities and parameters, process data, diagnosis data and user interface configuration. Furthermore, each sensor is equipped with an internal ID.

Automatic parameter settings

Initial setup of a new sensor is smooth and easy using previously stored parameters. Once a sensor has been replaced, the IO-Link master simply transmits parameters stored from the old sensor.

Centralized configuration and data management

IO-Link enables fast configuration and dynamic change of the sensor parameters on the fly, which considerably reduces downtime in case of product changeover and increases flexibility and diversity of the installation.

Photoelectric

The LD30.PBR IO-Link smart laser sensors are highly flexible multifunction laser sensors in a compact housing. The LD30.PBR IO-Link smart laser sensors offer: Selectable Background or Foreground suppression, with a sensing distance of 100, 300 or 600 mm. The sensors have a focused visible red laser beam of Ø 1 mm and are of Laser class 1, capable of detecting small objects on long distances or close to a background.

The LD30.PBR IO-Link smart laser sensors have besides numerous IO-Link options also 5 unique application functions: Dual Detection, Speed and length, Pattern recognition, Divider and Object and gap monitoring.

The LD30.PBR IO-Link smart laser sensors are available in two housing styles, an AISI3 16L stainless steel version with IP69K and ECOLAB approvals designed for use in harsh or hygienic environments and an ABS plastic version with IP 67 approval.

Capacitive

Carlo Gavazzi is proud to introduce this series of high-quality capacitive sensors to meet the demands of a new industrial era; an era that requires devices with enhanced capabilities and new ways of accessing, communicating and processing data. The Carlo Gavazzi IO-Link sensors combine their excellent features with the benefits of the IO-Link standard, which opens up the access to detailed information, advanced functionality and flexibility.

The IO-Link system provides significant advantages including enhanced data availability and workability, remote configuration and automatic parameter settings, advanced diagnostics, simplified installation and easy sensor replacement.

Ultrasonic

This ultrasonic IO-Link sensor series of UA12, UA18 and UA30 provides superior sensing solutions with a good price-performance-ratio for a variety of industry applications. The ultrasonic sensors are excellent at contactless position and distance measurement and they are able to detect any target regardless of its color, transparency or surface.

Because of their resistance to high and low temperatures and immunity against dust, steam and fumes, these Ultrasonic sensors are especially well suited to harsh environments.

The UA12, UA18 and UA30 come in a purely digital version and a combined version with one digital and one analog output.

Due to improved technology, an extended sensing distance and a reduced housing length, these sensors make for a state of the art sensor family with high accuracy, versatility and resilience.

Inductive

Mobile equipments is one of the most challenging applications ever for a sensor. Any device installed on a machinery being it a garbage truck, mobile crane, concrete mixer, tractor or fire truck, is subject to extreme operating conditions: from continuous exposure to high level of shocks and vibrations, wide temperature variations and voltage fluctuations, with voltage sags and peaks of up to 200 V, frequent high pressure and high temperature wash-down cycles and high electromagnetic interference.

ICS E1 inductive sensors have been developed, to survive these harsh environmental conditions and make the user forget about them when installed on the vehicle, granting the highest uptime level of the machinery.

Power-Flo Technologies is proud to partner with Carlo Gavazzi and their focus on high-quality electronic components, automation systems, and energy management solutions. Carlo Gavazzi’s comprehensive portfolio of IO-Link-enabled sensors, spanning photoelectric, capacitive, ultrasonic, and inductive technologies, demonstrates a commitment to smart, efficient, and highly adaptable sensing solutions for the modern industrial landscape. With features like automatic parameter setting, centralized data management, advanced diagnostics, and robust construction for harsh environments, these sensors not only simplify installation and maintenance but also deliver unparalleled flexibility and performance. Whether optimizing a packaging line, automating complex machinery, or ensuring precision in mobile equipment, IO-Link sensors empower systems with the intelligence and reliability needed for Industry 4.0 and beyond.
