Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PC50CND10BA Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PC50CND10BA is a compact and versatile diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PC50 series, it combines an adjustable long sensing range, programmable transistor output and robust IP67 construction in a compact rectangular housing.
The PC50CND10BA uses modulated infrared light at 880 nm to detect light reflected directly from the target, eliminating the need for a separate reflector or receiver. Its adjustable sensitivity and selectable light/dark switching provide flexibility when detecting different objects and integrating the sensor into automated machinery.
With a rated operating distance of 10–1000 mm, a 10–30 V DC supply and configurable PNP/NPN complementary NO+NC output, the PC50CND10BA is suitable for a broad range of PLC and industrial control applications. This cable-connected version is supplied with an integral 2 m cable for straightforward hard-wired installation.
