Ultrasonic sensors
The Ultrasonic 200 series is a line of cylindrical sensors classified under the Ultrasonic sensors product category and also categorized as Measuring sensors. These sensors are specifically described as "NEW" products in the source material.
The 200 series cylindrical ultrasonic sensors operate using ultrasound to perform both switching and measuring functions.

Operating Principles and Performance
The 200 series supports two primary operating modes: the reflection principle (switching mode) and the diffuse reflection principle with background suppression (switching and measuring mode).
1. Diffuse Reflection Principle with Background Suppression (Switching/Measuring)
This mode is capable of both switching and highly accurate distance measurement:
- Switching Operating Range: 0.02 m to 6 m.
- Measurement Range: 80 mm to 6,000 mm.
- Resolution (Measuring): 1.0 mm.
- Switching Frequency (Switching): 2 Hz to 20 Hz.
- Switching Frequency (Measuring): 2 Hz to 5 Hz.
- Ultrasonic Frequency: 80 kHz to 484 kHz (Switching); 80 kHz to 200 kHz (Measuring).
- Outputs: Supports NPN, PNP, or Push-pull switching outputs.
- Analog Outputs (Measuring): Can output Analog Current or Analog Voltage.
- Switching Principle: Dark switching, Light switching, or IO-Link / light switching (PNP) / dark switching (NPN).
2. Reflection Principle (Switching)
This mode is used for standard switching applications:
- Operating Range: 0 m to 1.6 m.
- Switching Frequency: 1 Hz to 8 Hz.
- Switching Principle: NO (normally open).
- Ultrasonic Frequency: 230 kHz to 300 kHz.
- Teach Inputs: 1 Piece(s).
Special Functions
The 200 series also supports advanced features:
- Multiplex operation.
- Synchronous operation.
- It has 1 selectable input/output piece.
The capability of the ultrasonic 200 series to measure distance and output an analog signal, while simultaneously functioning as a robust, metal-housed switching sensor, means it acts like a sensitive depth sounder, able to provide both a simple alert (switching) and precise distance data (measuring) over a substantial range (up to 6 meters)
