What a photoelectric sensor does on the line
Photoelectric sensors detect the presence or absence of an object by emitting a light beam and measuring the reflected or interrupted signal — used on conveyor lines, packaging machines, and material handling stations where a non-contact trigger is needed. The Telemecanique series positions this sensor for general-purpose industrial sensing, typically wired into a 24 VDC control circuit with a PNP or NPN output depending on the variant — the XUBLAKCNM12T's specific output type and sensing range are confirmed at RFQ from the full datasheet.
