Measuring Range: The Baumer OM70-P/L sensor has a measuring range of 50 mm to

800 mm, which means it can accurately measure distances between objects within this
range.

Measurement Error: The manufacturer specifies the measurement error of the sensor to
be ±0.5% of the measured distance.
Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the sensor depends on the distance between the sensor
and the object. The closer the object is to the sensor, the higher the sensitivity.

Input and Output Signals: The sensor has four wires: brown (+UB), blue (-UB), black
(OUT), and white (teach input). The brown wire is connected to the positive supply
voltage, the blue wire to the ground, the black wire to an input or output module, and
the white wire to an external teach button or signal source. The output signal is a
voltage that varies between 0 V and +UB (supply voltage) depending on the distance
measured.

Resolution: The resolution of the sensor is the smallest distance change that can be
measured. The sensor has a resolution of 1 µm, which means it can detect changes in
distance of about 1 µm.

Current Measurement Method: The sensor operates on a supply voltage of 10 VDC to


30 VDC, and draws a current of about 60 mA when active. The current measurement
method involves measuring the current flowing through the power supply pins (+UB
and -UB).

Wire Connection: The sensor has four wires: brown (+UB), blue (-UB), black (OUT), and
white (teach input). The brown wire is connected to the positive supply voltage, the blue
wire to the ground, the black wire to an input or output module, and the white wire to
an external teach button or signal source.

Overall, the Baumer OM70-P/L sensor is a high-precision and reliable sensor with a wide
range, high resolution, and low measurement error, making it suitable for a wide range
of applications such as quality control, machine monitoring, and process control.

working principle of the sensor OM70-P / L


The Baumer OM70-P/L sensor is a diffuse reflection sensor that uses time-of-flight technology to
measure the distance between the sensor and an object.

The sensor emits a modulated infrared light pulse, which reflects off the surface of the object and is
detected by the sensor. The time between the emission and reception of the light pulse is
proportional to the distance between the sensor and the object. The sensor calculates the distance
by measuring the time difference between the emission and reception of the light pulse.

The sensor also has a teach-in function that allows the user to set the distance at which the sensor
switches its output state. This is achieved by pressing the teach-in button or by applying a teach-in
signal to the white wire. When the object is at the taught distance, the sensor output switches from
high to low or from low to high, depending on the configuration.
Overall, the working principle of the Baumer OM70-P/L sensor is based on time-of-flight
measurement using infrared light, with the ability to teach-in the detection distance.

the structure of the sensor OM70-P / L


The Baumer OM70-P/L sensor has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 20 mm and a length of 66.5
mm. The sensor body is made of nickel-plated brass and has an IP67 protection rating, making it
suitable for use in harsh industrial environments.

The front part of the sensor is covered by a lens, which protects the internal components from dust,
dirt, and other environmental factors. The lens is made of a high-quality plastic material that is
resistant to scratches and impacts.

Inside the sensor body, there are several internal components, including an infrared emitter, a
photodiode detector, a signal processing unit, and a teach-in button. The infrared emitter emits
modulated infrared light pulses towards the object being measured, and the photodiode detector
receives the reflected light pulses. The signal processing unit calculates the distance between the
sensor and the object based on the time-of-flight principle, and provides an output signal.

The teach-in button is used to set the detection distance of the sensor. By pressing the teach-in
button or applying a teach-in signal to the white wire, the sensor can be taught to detect objects at a
specific distance, which can be adjusted according to the application requirements.

The sensor has four wires: brown (+UB), blue (-UB), black (OUT), and white (teach input). The brown
wire is connected to the positive supply voltage, the blue wire to the ground, the black wire to an
input or output module, and the white wire to an external teach button or signal source.

Overall, the Baumer OM70-P/L sensor has a robust and compact structure that incorporates several
internal components, including an infrared emitter, photodiode detector, signal processing unit, and
teach-in button, which work together to provide accurate and reliable distance measurement.

transfer function of the sensor OM70-L0070.HH0048.VI

The OM70-L0070.HH0048.VI sensor is a pressure sensor manufactured by Lufft.


According to the manufacturer's documentation, the transfer function of this sensor is
defined as follows:

Vout = Vs x (0.5 x (P + Pmin) / Pr + 0.1)

where:

 Vout is the output signal of the sensor in the range of 0 to 10 V


 Vs is the supply voltage to the sensor, typically 15 VDC
 P is the pressure measured by the sensor, calculated by subtracting Pmin (minimum
pressure) from the input pressure value
 Pmin is the minimum pressure value that the sensor can measure, typically 0 bar or -1
bar
 Pr is the pressure range of the sensor, defined as the difference between the maximum
and minimum pressure values that the sensor can measure

With this transfer function, you can calculate the corresponding pressure value for the
output signal of the sensor. However, to ensure the accuracy of the measurement
results, you should refer to the measurement technique and calibration table of the
sensor in the manufacturer's user manual.
