The optoNCDT 1220 laser sensors are among the finest in their class. They provide a distinct blend of speed, size, and performance. These laser sensors are used to precisely detect displacement, distance, and position in many areas of automation technology, including machine construction, 3D printing, and robotics. The optoNCDT 1220 sensors utilize intelligent surface control.
Auto Surface Compensation (ASC) provides reliable measurement results even when the target surface changes color or brightness. The optoNCDT 1220 sensor has an IO-Link interface, which simplifies data transfer and decreases commissioning time.
What is IO-Link?
- Fieldbus-independent interface
- Standardized worldwide according to IEC61131-9
- Using three-wire plug-in cables to connect to the IO-Link master
- Manufacturer-independent digital, bidirectional point-to-point communication
- IO-Link is compatible with all standard fieldbus and automation systems
Advantages of IO-Link

- Uniform interface standard
- No different wiring and connection options than with conventional fieldbuses/interfaces
- Reduce expenses
- Reduced programming effort
- Faster commissioning
- Reliable communication between sensor and control device
- Reduced troubleshooting effort with consistent diagnostic information at the sensor level
- Reduced downtimes, as sensor parameters can be adjusted by the control system or the operator
- Easier device replacement during operation due to automatic re-parameterization
- Provide consistent device information
Easy Integration
