The Festo SOEGRTM12PSSL is a diffuse light sensor (model SOEG-RT-M12-PS-S-L) that detects objects by sensing reflected infrared light within a 0 to 200 mm range. It switches a PNP normally-open output at up to 200 mA, powered from 10 to 30 V DC. The brass, chromed-plated housing with an M12x1 3-pin plug connector is rated IP65, so it withstands washdown and damp environments on a packaging or material-handling line.
Key Ratings & Fit
The 200 mm sensing range covers short to medium detection distances typical for part-present or level detection on conveyors. Infrared light type means it works on a wide variety of surfaces without the visible-light interference that can trip up photoelectric sensors in brightly lit areas. The PNP normally-open output is the common industrial sinking-logic interface for PLC inputs; the 200 mA max output current drives small loads like relays or indicator lamps directly. IP65 protection allows the sensor to be mounted directly on machine frames in wet-washdown zones without a secondary enclosure.
