Photoelectric sensor Datalogic S50-PL-5-G00-XG 10–30 V DC, diffuse/retro-reflective (model 952001430)

The Datalogic S50-PL-5-G00-XG photoelectric sensor operates on a 10–30 V DC supply and provides reliable optical detection in both diffuse and retro-reflective configurations. Designed for compact integration in industrial automation systems, the sensor is suitable for presence and position sensing, conveyor monitoring and basic object detection tasks. Its small form factor and standard DC compatibility allow straightforward connection to PLCs and control circuits used in manufacturing and logistics environments.

Advantages

The sensor combines two sensing modes — diffuse and retro-reflective — to offer flexible installation options depending on the application layout. Its operating voltage range of 10–30 V DC supports common industrial power supplies, while the compact, robust housing simplifies mounting in confined spaces. The optical design provides consistent detection of various materials and surface finishes, reducing false triggers and improving process reliability.

Suitable for

• Presence and absence detection on conveyor lines
• Position sensing of parts in assembly stations
• Basic object counting and throughput monitoring
• Small-machine integration where space is limited

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 10–30 V DC
• Sensing modes: diffuse and retro-reflective
• Output type: standard DC switching output compatible with industrial controllers
• Mounting: compact housing suitable for confined installations
• Environmental suitability: designed for industrial automation environments

How to use

Install the sensor in the required orientation for the chosen sensing mode: position the sensor facing the target for diffuse mode or aligned with a reflector for retro-reflective mode. Connect the sensor to a 10–30 V DC supply and wire the switching output to the control input of a PLC, relay or other logic device according to the system wiring standards. Adjust mounting distance and alignment during commissioning to achieve stable detection and verify switching behavior with representative objects and operating conditions.

Recommendations

For stable performance, confirm the appropriate sensing mode for the target materials and test with typical parts at operating speed. Protect connections from excessive vibration and ensure the sensing window remains clean. When integrating into control systems, follow standard electrical protection practices such as proper fusing and grounding.
