The IFM OID202 is a laser distance sensor with background suppression for measurements from 0.03 to 2 m. It uses a red 650 nm laser and a Class 2 laser safety design. The NPN sensor provides two complementary switching outputs and IO-Link communication. A setting ring allows convenient manual adjustment of the switching point. Its M30 × 1.5 housing and IP65/IP67 protection make it suitable for industrial automation.

The OID202 uses PMD time-of-flight technology to measure distance between 0.03 and 2 m. Background suppression helps prevent unwanted influence from objects behind the target. The visible red laser spot assists with alignment. The sensor provides colour-independent optical distance detection across many target surfaces. This makes it useful for automated object and position monitoring.
A graduated adjustment ring allows users to configure the switching point directly on the sensor. Distance values can be set in centimetres or inches. The adjustment method simplifies installation where fast local configuration is required. IO-Link can additionally be used for digital parameterisation. This gives users both local and controller-based configuration options.
The OID202 uses an NPN electrical design with two digital outputs. OUT1 provides normally open operation and IO-Link communication, while OUT2 provides the complementary normally closed signal. Each output supports a maximum current of 100 mA. Pulsed short-circuit protection and overload protection are provided. This makes the sensor suitable for direct integration with appropriate NPN-compatible control systems.

The OID202 is designed for straightforward setup at the machine. Its adjustment ring provides direct access to the switching distance. The visible laser spot helps the installer align the sensor with the target. IO-Link provides additional digital configuration and diagnostic functions. This reduces commissioning effort and improves operational visibility.
