Photoelectric Sensor Datalogic 950811070 — reflective/through-beam detection, compact industrial sensor

Datalogic 950811070 is a compact photoelectric sensor designed for industrial object detection in automated lines and machine vision setups. The sensor supports reflective and through-beam detection modes for presence/absence sensing, part counting and positioning tasks. Its small S100-series housing (20 x 32 x 12 mm) and four mounting holes provide flexible installation options while minimizing space requirements on production equipment.

Advantages

The S100-series design offers a compact footprint and multiple mounting points for straightforward mechanical integration. Absence of manual adjustment reduces setup time and eliminates risks associated with accidental tampering. Built around Datalogic’s ASIC, the sensor is IO-Link programmable for remote configuration and diagnostics. Dual output channels and stable signal performance during IO-Link communication support reliable counting and positioning without digital output jitter. Available in reflective and through-beam detection variants, the sensor provides options for different sensing distances and target characteristics.

Suitable for

• Presence/absence detection on conveyor lines
• Part counting and indexing in assembly processes
• Object positioning and edge detection for handling equipment
• Integration into compact machine vision or automation modules

Key specifications

• Sensor type: photoelectric (reflective or through-beam detection)
• Housing size: miniature S100 series, 20 x 32 x 12 mm
• Mounting: four fixing holes (two front threaded, two rear slotted)
• Connectivity: IO-Link programmable for remote configuration and diagnostics
• Outputs: dual output channels with stable digital signalling during communication
• Adjustment: fixed optical setup with software programmability (no manual trim)

How to use

Mount the sensor using the provided fixing holes, choosing the appropriate threaded or slotted positions to align with your mechanical structure. Select reflective or through-beam arrangement according to sensing distance and target characteristics; reflective mode is suitable for short to moderate distances with reflective targets, while through-beam is recommended for higher reliability over longer gaps or low-contrast targets. Configure operating parameters and output modes via IO-Link to set detection thresholds, timing, and output logic without physical adjustments.

Recommendations

Ensure correct alignment and stable mounting to maintain repeatable detection. Use through-beam configuration when detecting transparent or low-contrast objects. Use IO-Link to save and replicate sensor settings across identical stations and to access diagnostics for preventive maintenance.
