Optical data transmission

The DDLS 500 is an Optical data transmission system that functions as a data transmission photoelectric sensor,. It is specifically highlighted for its ability to provide 100 Mbit/s real-time transmission capabilities for contact-free and wear-free data exchange,,.

Description and Explanation

The DDLS 500 is designed to enable contact-free communication where traditional wired or WLAN transmission systems may be insufficient,. It is used in applications like stacker cranes, transfer cars, electroplating plants, and gantry cranes.

Key features include:

  • High Bandwidth and Real-Time Capability: It provides a bandwidth of 100 Mbit/s and supports real-time data transmission, acting as a PROFINET participant.
  • Networking: It is compatible with all industrial Ethernet networks as well as TCP/IP communication. Its interface list includes EtherNet TCP/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, PROFIsafe over PROFINET, and EtherCAT Safety-over-EtherCAT (FSoE).
  • Diagnostics: The device features a globally unique integrated web server to facilitate remote diagnostics.
  • Alignment and Mounting: It includes an integrated laser alignment aid (optional) and a pre-mounted mounting and alignment plate to simplify commissioning,,.
  • Durability and Range: It is suitable for wide operating ranges, including models that transmit data over 200 meters,. It is protected up to IP 65 and offers heating as an optional equipment feature,.
