Allen-Bradley 45LMS-D8LGC1-D4 is a laser measurement sensor from the 45LMS series, designed for precise distance and position detection. It features a threaded mounting style, IO-Link interface for smart sensor communication, and a configurable NPN/PNP output for flexible integration. With an IP65 enclosure rating, it is protected against dust and water jets, suitable for industrial environments. The sensor operates on a 10-30V DC supply with a 70 mA current consumption.

Product Details

45LMS Laser Measurement Sensors

Allen Bradley 45LMS laser measurement sensors offer an excellent mid to long range measurement solution. Available in three ranges, these sensors use the Time of Flight (ToF) principle and has a relatively small beam spot, even from a distance of 50 m. IO-Link enabled sensors offer advanced features and diagnostics including Automatic Device Configuration, multiple profiles, trending, descriptive tags, and device-specific parameters

Allen Bradley Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor Block, IO-Link, 200mm to 8m Detection Range - 45LMS-D8LGC1-D4

For accurate object and position detection in industrial operations, choose this photoelectric sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range. It works by sending out a beam of light that's blocked and reflected by a workpiece. The return signal is measured and sent to the equipment's actuators so it can react appropriately. The unit's ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) housing provides impact resistance and mechanical strength, so you can use it in harsh conditions. It's also energy-efficient, consuming just 70mA of electrical current. You'll find it commonly used with packaging machinery.
Laser optical technology for a light beam that's easy to see, making alignment easier
Wide detection range from 8mm to 200mm for versatility
IO-Link technology enables self-diagnostics that make troubleshooting easier
Wide operating temperature range of -30°C to +50°C for use in demanding conditions

How do I mount this sensor?

Mounting this connector is simple. It has a threaded end to screw onto its connector. It's important to mount it so its target is in its sensing range and also to teach it the appropriate set points.
