The IFM OID250 is a compact laser distance sensor with a 0.03...2 m measuring range. It uses a Class 1 red laser and background suppression for reliable object detection. The PNP sensor provides complementary switching outputs and IO-Link communication. A radial adjustment ring provides convenient switching-point configuration. Its stainless-steel M30 × 1.5 housing provides IP65/IP67 protection.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The OID250 measures targets between 0.03 and 2 m. Background suppression extends to less than 20 m. The red 650 nm laser provides a visible optical reference. Its sampling rate is 33 Hz. These characteristics support reliable distance monitoring.
The adjustment ring provides direct local switching-point adjustment. The sensor supports centimetre and inch units. Complementary PNP outputs provide switching information. Yellow and green LEDs indicate status. This makes commissioning straightforward.
IO-Link 1.1 provides process data and parameterisation. COM2 communication operates at 38.4 kBaud. SIO mode is available for conventional switching. Diagnostic and identification functions can be accessed digitally. This supports integration into connected automation systems.
