247325

What type of device is this component?

It is an optical read head designed for non-contact positioning using a self-adhesive Data Matrix code tape. Its camera and integrated red LED illumination detect position markings as the equipment moves.

Which positioning applications is this read head suitable for?

It is suitable for applications such as lift systems, electrified monorails, transfer equipment and other guided moving machinery. Its high resolution also supports installations with curves, points, inclines and declines.

What is the maximum measuring distance?

The read head supports measuring lengths of up to 10,000 metres, making it suitable for both compact installations and long travel paths.

What is the maximum travel speed?

The device can read the code tape at travel speeds of up to 8 metres per second.

What positioning resolution does it provide?

The specified positioning resolution is ±0.1 mm, enabling precise position measurement in automated movement systems.

Which industrial communication interface is provided?

The read head uses a 100 BASE-TX interface and supports PROFINET IO Real-Time, Conformance Class A. It operates at a transmission rate of 100 Mbit/s and includes an integrated network switch.

What supply voltage does the device require?

A 15 to 30 V DC PELV supply is required. Maximum no-load current is 400 mA, and the stated power consumption is 6 W.

What is the recommended reading distance?

The nominal reading distance is 100 mm from the optical surface to the code tape. The depth of field is ±20 mm, so stable mounting is important for keeping the tape within the readable range.

What size reading field does the optical system provide?

The optical reading field measures 50 mm by 30 mm. The integrated camera uses a CMOS global-shutter image sensor and scans at a rate of 40 readings per second.

Can it operate under bright ambient lighting?

Yes. The specified ambient light tolerance is up to 100,000 lux, supporting operation in brightly illuminated industrial environments.

What inputs and outputs are available?

The device provides one configurable function input and between one and three configurable, short-circuit-resistant switching outputs. Each output supports a switching current of up to 150 mA.

Which electrical connections are used?

The unit has an 8-pin M12 x 1 connector for power and input/output signals, together with two 4-pin, D-coded M12 x 1 sockets for the network connections.

What environmental protection does the enclosure provide?

The enclosure is rated IP67 and is manufactured from PC/ABS. This construction helps protect the internal components against dust and temporary water immersion when correctly installed.

What operating temperatures are supported?

The standard operating range is 0°C to 60°C. Operation from -20°C to 60°C is also specified under non-condensing conditions, provided ice formation on the front window is prevented. The storage range is -20°C to 85°C.

How large and heavy is the read head?

The main enclosure dimensions are approximately 70 mm high, 70 mm wide and 50 mm deep. The unit weighs approximately 200 g.

How is correct alignment confirmed during installation?

An alignment mode assists with setting the Y and Z coordinates relative to the code tape. Dedicated LEDs indicate whether the camera is positioned too high, too low, too close or too far from the tape.

What status indicators are included?

Seven LEDs display network connection, data transfer, communication errors, power and code detection, output states, alignment information and internal diagnostics.

Does the device require physical contact with the code tape?

No. The 247325 reads the Data Matrix markings optically without contacting the tape, reducing mechanical wear and supporting long-term operation.
