Schneider Electric's Telemecanique SM956A120300 is an analog ultrasonic sensor designed for precise distance measurement and object detection within industrial automation systems. This sensor is part of the SM956 series, engineered to provide reliable performance in demanding environments. Its analog output capability allows for continuous signal feedback proportional to detected distances, making it suitable for applications requiring variable measurement data.

Technical details

• Sensor Type: Ultrasonic Analog Sensor
• Manufacturer Series: SM956
• Output Type: Analog (proportional to distance)
• Detection Principle: Ultrasonic
• Operating Principle: Emits ultrasonic pulses and measures the time for the echo to return, calculating distance.
• Enclosure Material: Typically robust industrial-grade materials for durability. (Verify with datasheet for exact material.)
• Mounting Type: Standard industrial mounting configurations. (Verify with datasheet for specific thread size or mounting pattern.)
• Power Requirements: Specific voltage and current ratings should be confirmed via the manufacturer's datasheet.

Applications & compatibility

The Telemecanique SM956A120300 is commonly employed in applications such as level monitoring of liquids or solids in tanks, collision avoidance systems for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and presence detection on conveyor lines. Its analog output makes it compatible with PLCs and other control systems that can interpret variable voltage or current signals for precise distance feedback.
