Global PLC Spare HUB's Insight

The DL100-23AA2112 is the gold standard for high-bay logistics. Its ability to track acceleration and provide predictive maintenance data via the "Service" output is critical for zero-downtime operations. The aluminum housing provides excellent EMC shielding, protecting the 0.1mm resolution data from the electrical noise generated by large crane motors.

Target Equipment and Applications

• AS/RS Systems: Precise vertical and horizontal crane positioning.
• Gantry Cranes: Long-travel distance feedback for heavy lifting.
• Transfer Shuttles: High-speed docking and track navigation.
• Diagnostics: 6-digit dot matrix display for real-time status and contamination alerts.

Logistics and Protection

• Warranty: 12-Month Replacement Warranty included.
• Express Delivery: Global priority shipping via FedEx, UPS, and DHL.
• Packaging: Original factory-sealed industrial packaging with optical protection.

Professional FAQ

Is reflective tape included with the sensor?
No, reflective tape (Diamond Grade) must be ordered separately. Ensure the tape is clean and applied flat for the full 300m range.

Can I use this sensor in a cold storage warehouse?
The standard operating range is -20 °C to +55 °C. For extreme cold, check for the versions with integrated heating or use a specialized cooling/heating case.

What is the light spot size at 300 meters?
The spot size expands as distance increases, calculated as 5 mm + (2 mm x distance in meters). At 300m, the spot is approximately 605mm.

How does the push-pull output work?
It automatically adapts to your PLC's wiring. It can source current (PNP) or sink current (NPN) depending on how the load is connected.

Can the DL100-23AA2112 measure speed as well as distance?
Yes, one of the digital outputs can be specifically assigned as a speed threshold output or provide speed data via the interface.
