SICK Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor, Block Sensor, 10 mm → 1.6 m, NPN/PNP, IP66, IP67, IP69

SICK W26 Series Photoelectric Sensor, Background Suppression Detection Type, IO-Link V1.1 Interface - WTB26P-24161120A00

This photoelectric sensor detects objects using background suppression and is intended for automation and industrial sensing tasks. It operates within typical industrial environments and interfaces via IO-Link V1.1 to integrate with control systems.

Features and Benefits:

• 0.5 MS response time enables fast object detection
  IP66 IP67 IP69 rating resists dust and high-pressure washdown
  NPN/PNP selectable outputs allow flexible wiring integration
  30V DC maximum voltage supports common control voltages
  Operating range -40 to 60°C enables high-temperature deployments
  4-pin M12 male connector simplifies field connection

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor object presence detection in manufacturing lines
  Ideal for packaging machines requiring precise background suppression
  Used with PLCs via IO-Link V1.1 for networked sensor data
  Can be used for washdown environments in food and beverage plants
  Suitable for machine Vision pre-trigger sensing to reduce false positives

What housing material helps in chemically aggressive environments?

The sensor uses a Vistal-based plastic enclosure that offers chemical resistance and mechanical durability in demanding settings.

How is compatibility with control systems ensured?

Communication and parametrisation are achieved through an IO-Link V1.1 interface, allowing bidirectional data exchange and remote configuration.

What connector type is provided for installation?

A standard 4-pin M12 male connector is fitted for secure electrical and signal connections.

Which safety and conformity recognitions does it carry?

It holds CE marking and cULus recognition along with specific UL file references for industrial acceptance.

Notes

For retro-reflective sensors a suitable reflector is required.
For PL80A, PL30A & C110 reflectors see stock nos. 265-2776, 265-2760 & 265-2748 respectively.
