Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi LD30CNBI10BPA2IO IO-Link Laser Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi LD30CNBI10BPA2IO is a compact diffuse-reflective laser photoelectric sensor with adjustable background suppression, designed for precise object detection in industrial automation. Using Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology and an infrared Class 1 laser, it provides a sensing range of up to 1000 mm while helping distinguish the required target from objects or surfaces in the background.
This intelligent LD30 sensor incorporates IO-Link communication, allowing operating parameters and sensor functions to be configured for the application. Its switching output can be configured as NPN, PNP or push-pull, while normally open or normally closed operation and light- or dark-switching behaviour can also be selected. These programmable functions make the sensor highly adaptable to modern machine automation and control systems.
The LD30CNBI10BPA2IO operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and uses a 940 nm infrared Class 1 laser. Its compact 10 × 30 × 20 mm plastic housing, factory-fitted 2 m cable and IP67 protection make it suitable for packaging, material handling, manufacturing and other industrial applications requiring accurate long-range sensing from a miniature sensor.

Intelligent Time-of-Flight Sensing with IO-Link and Background Suppression
The Carlo Gavazzi LD30CNBI10BPA2IO uses Time-of-Flight technology to determine the presence of an object from the reflected infrared laser light. Adjustable background suppression allows the sensor to respond to objects within the required detection zone while reducing unwanted switching caused by surfaces positioned farther behind the target. This makes the sensor particularly useful where target and background separation is important.
Integrated IO-Link functionality extends the sensor beyond conventional photoelectric switching by enabling configurable operating parameters and diagnostic communication with compatible automation equipment. Programmable NPN, PNP or push-pull outputs, selectable NO/NC behaviour and additional timing and teach functions allow a single sensor model to be adapted to a wide variety of machine detection requirements.
Typical Applications
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor object detection.
- Material handling and logistics equipment.
- Presence detection with background suppression.
- Automated assembly and manufacturing systems.
- Object detection where target-to-background separation is required.
- Machine positioning and process monitoring.
- Smart factory applications using IO-Link sensor communication.
