The IFM OID201 is a laser distance sensor designed for measurements from 30 to 2000 mm. It uses a Class 2 red laser and background suppression up to 20 m. The PNP sensor provides complementary switching outputs and an integrated adjustment ring. IO-Link communication supports digital parameterisation and diagnostics. Its M30 housing and IP65/IP67 protection provide reliable industrial operation.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The OID201 provides a 30...2000 mm measuring range. Background suppression extends to approximately 20 m. Its red 650 nm laser provides a visible optical reference. The switching frequency reaches 11 Hz. This supports general industrial distance and object detection.
The sensor includes a radial setting ring for switching-point adjustment. The OID201 uses centimetres as its measurement unit. Complementary outputs provide NO/NC switching signals. Yellow and green LEDs indicate status. These features simplify local commissioning.
IO-Link provides access to sensor configuration and diagnostics. The M12 connection provides standardized industrial wiring. Conventional switching remains available. The sensor can therefore be integrated into existing PLC architectures. This supports flexible factory automation.
