Product details

Sensor identity and supply constraints

The SICK VL180-P430 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor in the VL180 family, supplied at 10 … 30 V DC with a nominal 24 V DC rail. The 2 m cable exits the M18 cylindrical housing — no connector, so the cable entry is fixed at that length; plan the gland plate and conduit drop accordingly if the panel layout demands a shorter pigtail.

Fit considerations against a peer

The VT180-N112 is a photoelectric proximity sensor with NPN output and 130 mm sensing range. The VL180-P430 is retro-reflective with PNP output and relies on a reflector for its beam path.

Frequently asked questions

What is VL180-P430's listed type?

The VL180-P430 is listed as a Photoelectric Sensor, specifically a retro-reflective type per the SICK description.

Will VL180-P430 drop into a panel that was specified around VT180-N112 without rewiring?

No — the VL180-P430 uses a PNP output and retro-reflective sensing, while the VT180-N112 uses NPN and proximity sensing. The M18 mount and 10-30 V DC supply are compatible, but the output wiring and sensing principle require changes.
