This Omron E3XHD412MOMS is a fibre amplifier unit, meaning it works with a separate fibre optic cable head to detect objects in places a standard photoelectric sensor can't reach. The PNP output switches at 1 ms and drives up to 50 mA into a PLC input or relay. Mounting is straightforward: the 10 mm width slides into a DIN rail alongside other E3X-series amplifiers.
Ratings that matter
The 1 ms response time places this amplifier in the general-purpose detection range — fast enough for conveyors and packaging lines, but not sub-millisecond for high-speed count or registration mark sensing. The red LED light source works well with standard glass or plastic fibre optics up to moderate distances. Power supply is 12–24 VDC, typical for industrial control panels. Output is PNP (sourcing), so verify compatibility if your PLC inputs are NPN or sinking. The 2 m cable is pre-wired; no connector variant is listed, so plan for termination inside the junction box or panel.
Mounting and environment
Rated IP50, so install in a cabinet or protected enclosure — not washdown or dust-prone areas. The -25 to 55 °C operating range covers most indoor industrial settings. No special EMI/EMC precautions beyond standard wiring practice.
