Photoelectric Sensor Datalogic 950811150 — industrial diffuse/through-beam sensing (model 950811150)

Datalogic 950811150 is a compact photoelectric sensor intended for industrial object detection and presence sensing in conveyor, packaging and automation applications. Part of Datalogic's S100 family of miniature sensors, it provides optical detection suitable for monitoring parts, edges or presence on manufacturing lines and material handling systems. The S100 series features a very small housing and a design that simplifies mounting and integration into confined spaces.

Advantages

The S100 form factor offers a standard miniature footprint of 20 x 32 x 12 mm that reduces space requirements on machinery and fixtures. Multiple fixing points — two threaded holes on the front and two slotted holes on the rear — allow flexible and secure installation in different orientations. The fixed optical alignment removes the need for manual adjustments during setup, which speeds installation and reduces the risk of accidental tampering. The series supports IO-Link configurability through Datalogic's programmable ASIC, enabling remote parameterization and stable dual-channel output without digital output jitter during communication.

Suitable for

• Object detection on conveyor belts and automated material handling
• Presence or edge detection in packaging machinery
• Integration into compact automation equipment and tight spaces
• Applications requiring IO-Link configuration and dual output channels

Key specifications

• Sensor type: Photoelectric (diffuse/through-beam family characteristics described for the model)
• Housing size: miniature, 20 x 32 x 12 mm
• Mounting: four fixing points (two front threaded holes, two rear slotted holes)
• Adjustment: fixed optical alignment (no manual adjustment required)
• Connectivity: IO-Link configurable via integrated ASIC; dual output channels with stable digital communication

How to use

Install the sensor in the designated position using the provided fixing points, choosing the orientation that matches the application. Ensure the sensor face has a clear optical path to the target area and that any through-beam counterpart or reflective target is aligned as required by the chosen sensing mode. Connect power and signal lines according to the system wiring diagram and configure parameters via IO-Link if remote adjustment or specific output behavior is needed. Verify detection by running test cycles at operating speed and make any IO-Link parameter changes to adapt sensitivity, timing, or output modes.

Recommendations

Place the sensor where the optical path is free of obstructions and excessive dust or condensation. Use the slotted rear holes for fine positional adjustment during mechanical assembly, and prefer IO-Link configuration for repeatable setup across multiple devices. Follow standard industrial wiring and grounding practices to maintain reliable signal integrity.
