The Schneider Electric Telemecanique SM956A830000 is an ultrasonic analog sensor designed for precise distance measurement in industrial environments. This sensor utilizes high-frequency sound waves to detect objects and measure their distance, making it suitable for applications requiring non-contact sensing. While this specific model has reached the end of its commercialization, its underlying technology provides insight into the capabilities of modern ultrasonic sensors.

Technical details

• Sensor Type: Ultrasonic Analog Sensor
• Technology: Utilizes high-frequency sound waves for detection and measurement.
• Output Type: Analog output, providing a variable signal proportional to the measured distance.
• Detection Principle: Operates by emitting sound pulses and measuring the time it takes for the echo to return.
• Measurement Range: Specific range should be verified against manufacturer datasheet; typical ultrasonic sensors offer ranges from a few centimeters to several meters.
• Enclosure Type: Standard industrial housing, designed for robust operation in manufacturing settings.
• Operating Voltage: Specific voltage requirements should be confirmed with the manufacturer's datasheet; common ranges for such sensors are 12-24VDC.
• Environmental Rating: Typically designed for industrial environments, but specific IP rating should be verified.

Applications & compatibility

This ultrasonic analog sensor is well-suited for integration into automated systems requiring continuous distance monitoring. Common applications include level sensing in tanks, collision avoidance for robotics, loop control on conveyor systems, and presence detection in material handling equipment. Its analog output allows for direct integration with PLC analog input modules for process control.
