Note 1: For color registration mark applications, refer to light source selection guide at www.ab.com/sensors.
Note 2: For maximum performance, transmitted beam sources should be combined with matched operating voltage receivers, i.e., AC/DC source with AC/DC
receiver or DC source with DC receiver. Reduced operating distance and margin will result from mixed operating voltage pairs.
Note 3: For use with glass fiber optic cables. See page 1--231 for more information.

Description
Linearity <1%
The 45BRD analog output sensor is a
Class 2 visible red laser sensor that Resolution 20 μm
provides exceptional resolution at an
Temperature Drift 18 μm/°C
economical cost. This sensor utilizes
the triangulation principle for precise Light Source Class 2 visible red laser (670 nm)
measurement and has a small beam LED Indicators Green: power, red : lens contamination
spot for small part detection and
measurement. The sensor is Electrical
completely self-contained in an IP67 Voltage 18…28V DC
enclosure and does not require any
external control devices which add cost Current Consumption 35 mA max @ 24V DC
and require additional mounting space. Sensor Protection Overload, short circuit, reverse polarity, false pulse, transient noise
The 45BRD can be easily set up by Outputs
mounting the sensor such that the Response Time 30 ms
target is within the operating range of
the sensor. There are no additional Output Type Analog output 0…10V DC
adjustments for the sensor and the Output Current 3 mA max
0…10V output is scaled linearly over
the range of the sensor [45…85 mm Mechanical
(1.77…3.35 in.)]. Housing Material Plastic — ABS
The 45BRD is an excellent solution for Lens Material PMMA
precision noncontact measurement Connection Types 4-pin DC micro (M12) QD, 270° rotatable connector
applications including: distance

Note: In applications with multiple 45DLA pairs in one area, it is recommended to use the shorter range option (by connecting Pin 2/white wire to 24V)
to reduce the potential for interference between separate pairs.
Note: For applications with a range of less than 1 m (3.3 ft) it is recommended to use the shorter range option to improve the response time.

Note: Nominal Sensing Distance


• Due to the variation between fiber optic cables, sensing distance can vary widely
• The sensing distance of bifurcated cables is measured with white paper (90% reflectivity). Other surfaces may be
less reflective and therefore would have shorter sensing distances.
• The published numbers are based on extensive testing and are conservative
• The sensing distance of transmitted beam cables is measured from tip to tip
• Application considerations that effect distance
• Sensor selected
• Reflectivity of target
• Environment
• Accessories such as range extending lenses
• Length of the cable
• Consult with product support for additional information.

All dimensions indicated are typical. The fiber optic cables on pages 1-- 236…1--250
are for use with large aperture sensors as seen on the following pages:

Note: Nominal Sensing Distance


• Due to the variation between fiber optic cables, sensing distance can vary widely
• The published numbers are based on extensive testing and are conservative
• The sensing distance of bifurcated cables is measured with white paper (90% reflectivity). Other surfaces may be
less reflective and therefore would have shorter sensing distances.
• The sensing distance of transmitted beam cables is measured from tip to tip
• Application considerations that effect distance
• Sensor selected
• Reflectivity of target
• Environment
• Accessories such as range extending lenses
• Consult with product support for additional information.

All dimensions indicated are typical.

Glass Fiber Optic Cables


Additional Cables for Large Aperture Sensors [4.6 mm (0.187 in.) OD Sensor End Tip]

Custom Fiber Optic Cables


Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley can provide custom glass fiber optic cables to meet nearly any application requirement.
Typical cable modifications include:
S Custom lengths up to 15.2 m (50 ft)
S Custom temperature ratings up to 482_C (900_F)
S Custom configurations including multiple sensing tips
S Custom sensing end tips—nearly any modification is possible
For more information contact your local Rockwell Automation sales office or Allen-Bradley distributor.

To Build a Custom Fiber Optic for a Large Aperture Sensor:

Glass Fiber Optic Cables
Additional Cables for Small Aperture Sensors [2.2 mm (0.09 in.) OD Sensor End Tip]

Custom Fiber Optic Cables


Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley can provide custom glass fiber optic cables to meet nearly any application requirement.
Typical cable modifications include:
S Custom lengths up to 15.2 m (50 ft)
S Custom temperature ratings up to 482_C (900_F)
S Custom configurations including multiple sensing tips
S Custom sensing end tips—nearly any modification is possible
For more information contact your local Rockwell Automation sales office or Allen-Bradley distributor.

To Build a Custom Fiber Optic for Small Aperture Sensor:


43 G — S

Fiber Optic Overall Length (in.)


Cable Standard lengths are 36 inches and do
not require these spaces to be filled in. If
a special length is required, complete the
Fiber Material above with the number of total inches, i.e.
G = Glass 024 for a two foot cable.

Lengths typically ordered:


Sensing Mode 24 inches = 024
R = Reflective (Bifurcated) 48 inches = 048
T = Transmitted Beam (Individual) 60 inches = 060
72 inches = 072
96 inches = 096
108 inches = 108
Sensing End Tip Style (see 120 inches = 120
pages 1--260…1--267)
Threaded Any length over 120 inches, please

Note: Sensing Distance
• Due to the variation between fiber optic cables, sensing distance can vary widely
• The sensing distance of bifurcated cables is measured with white paper (90% reflectivity). Other surfaces may be less reflective and
therefore would have shorter sensing distances.
• The published numbers are based on extensive testing and are conservative
• The sensing distance of transmitted beam cables is measured from tip to tip
• Application considerations that effect distance
• Sensor selected
• Reflectivity of target
• Environment
• Accessories such as focusing lens
• Length of the cable
• The cut of the plastic. Re-cutting the cable with the proper tool (Cat. No. 57--127) will typically give a better surface for the sensor to
interface with, allowing a longer sensing distance.
• Bending a bendable tip beyond the minimum bend radius of the cable will reduce sensing distance.
• Consult product support for additional information.

All dimensions indicated are typical. Contact your local Rockwell Automation sales
office or Allen-Bradley distributor for exact dimensions.
