BANNER BEAM SENSOR MINI-BEAM SM315W-4 Wire

The BANNER Mini-Beam SM315W-4 is a compact photoelectric sensor designed for industrial applications where precise object detection or position sensing is required. Here’s an overview of this sensor:

BANNER Mini-Beam SM315W-4:

• Sensor Type: Photoelectric sensor, specifically a through-beam sensor where a separate emitter and receiver are used to detect objects passing between them.
• Detection Principle: The SM315W-4 uses infrared light emitted from the transmitter (emitter) to detect the presence or absence of objects by receiving the light with the receiver. When an object interrupts the light beam, the sensor registers the presence of the object.
• Wire Configuration: The “4 wire” designation typically refers to the electrical wiring of the sensor:
  • Power Supply (+V): Usually connected to a DC voltage supply, typically within the range of 10-30V DC.
  • Ground (GND): Connected to the common ground of the power supply.
  • NPN Output (OUT): Provides a sinking NPN transistor output, which switches to ground when the sensor detects an object. Requires an external load connected to a positive voltage supply to operate (commonly referred to as PNP sourcing).
• Features:
  • Compact and rugged design suitable for industrial environments.
  • Reliable detection of a variety of objects, including metallic and non-metallic materials.
  • Long sensing range depending on the model and environmental conditions.
  • Adjustable sensitivity and response time settings for optimal performance.
• Applications:
  • Conveyor Systems: Used for detecting product presence or positioning on conveyor belts.
  • Packaging Machines: Ensures precise positioning of packages or components.
  • Material Handling: Facilitates automated handling of objects in manufacturing processes.
  • Assembly Lines: Enables automation by detecting parts or components for assembly operations.
• Installation:
  • The emitter and receiver units are installed facing each other with a clear line-of-sight between them.
  • Proper alignment and adjustment of the sensor are crucial for reliable operation.
• Benefits:
  • Enhances productivity and efficiency by automating object detection tasks.
  • Reduces the risk of errors and improves overall system reliability.
  • Compact size allows for installation in tight spaces or within machinery.

Wiring Configuration:

1. Power Supply Connection:
   • Connect the positive (+) terminal of the power supply to the sensor’s +V terminal.
   • Connect the negative (-) terminal of the power supply to the sensor’s GND terminal.
2. Output Connection:
   • Connect the external load (e.g., a relay or PLC input) between the sensor’s OUT terminal and the positive voltage supply (+V).
   • When the sensor detects an object, the output (OUT) will switch to ground (GND), activating the connected load.

Ensure that the power supply voltage and current ratings are compatible with the specifications of the SM315W-4 sensor to avoid damage and ensure proper functionality. Additionally, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and recommendations for installation, setup, and operation of the BANNER Mini-Beam SM315W-4 sensor for optimal performance and longevity.
