Your Balluff SAMS solutions

Look and Feel

Smart Features

Healthn Inductive sensors

With a consistent housing, connectors
and mounting design, SAMS
components are easy to install andconnect. The consistent operating andconfiguration concept increases machine
flexibility and availability, because all
devices can be parameterized andconfigured via standard data profiles
and even taught in contact-free with amobile terminal. Machine damage andproduction downtime due to incorrect
handling are thus reduced to a minimum.

Once commissioned, the devices
with additional functions become
data sources that you use to ensure
the reliable operation of your plant –e.g. via temperature monitoring,humidity and tilt detection, vibration
monitoring, signal quality display,
operating hours counter or timefunctions. These features provide
additional monitoring capabilities
without the need for additional
specialized devices to gain an
overview. In addition, each component
can be clearly localized in the plant
via device recognition, so that, a sensor
can be quickly located in the plant.

Our intelligent components open up
new possibilities, such as condition
monitoring of machines and systems
or predictive maintenance. The status
data of your machines is available to you
uniformly, everywhere and immediately –whether via colored LED signal display
directly on the device or on dashboards
for further analysis. In this way, youremain informed about every single
sensor, every machine and the entire
production, recognize trends and cansignificantly improve the performanceof your production on a secure basis.
In combination with powerful network
technology and cloud computing from
Balluff, smart manufacturing in the senseof the Industrial Internet of Things (IloT)
becomes a reality.

Simple and good

THE STANDARD PORTFOLIOFOR INDUCTIVE SENSORS
From mechanical engineering and electronics manufacturing to intralogistics,
assembly and handling technology, woodworking and textile processing,automation is hardly conceivable without inductive sensors. Whereverautomation takes place, detecting the presence of metallic objects,
operating without contact or wear, and high reliability are in demand.
You can now choose from a new entry-level portfolio of BES inductive
sensors from Balluff.
These precise sensors are designed for normal factory environments andoffer an excellent price/performance ratio. This makes them particularly
suitable for applications that are not technically demanding, but which are
more demanding in terms of price and volume, like in material handling or(intra-)logistics.
After the sensor has been mounted easily with its simple clamp holder, its
specially developed plastic backend with LEDs gives you a 360° functional
display of the sensor status. In addition to the switching status, it also
shows the power supply status and the fault condition, e.g. short circuit.
This means you have everything in view to identify errors more quickly,
reduce downtimes, and increase system availability.

When red light sensors reach their limitations

BOS 6K PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORSWITH BLUE LIGHT TECHNOLOGYNEWThe newest addition to the Balluff BOS 6K portfolio delivers the same
reliable detection principles the photoelectric sensor family is known
for but with a new technology.
The sensors come equipped with blue light technology for backgroundsuppression, making them ideal for reliably detecting transparent andsimilarly tricky objects.
These new sensors join the already strong 6K portfolio. All sensors in thefamily share a variety of common features, including their cubical housing
shape, IO-Link communication standard, and operating principle.

Features
Uniform space-saving housing shapefor all variants■ Uniform operating concept andsimple integration thanks to IO-Link■ Reliable object detection evenin difficult conditions■ Detects a wide range of materials
and surface structures■ Robust, dust- and waterproof
for industrial environments■

This uniformity considerably simplifies the parameterization and integrationof the sensors. Combined with the intelligent PNP/NPN output, this also
reduces the number of variants required.

Easy detection of hard-to-see objects
The use of sensors with blue light is particularly recommended inapplications where red light reaches its physical limits.
Since blue light has a shorter wavelength than other colors of visible light,
it scatters less and the light beam is better focused. The lower scatteringmeans that blue light sensors can detect finer details and, depending on
the application, work even more reliably than their red light counterparts.
In addition, blue light penetrates less deeply into materials comparedto other light wavelengths. This minimizes interference with otherobjects and surfaces and makes object detection even more precise.
Even difficult materials or surface textures, for example in the caseof transparent or dark and shiny objects, are detected more reliably
than would be possible with red light.
Finally, the sensors are impressively robust. The dust- and waterproof
IP69 protection class of the blue light sensors, like all of the BOS 6K
sensors, prepares them for use in harsh, industrial environments.

The BOS 6K photoelectric sensor family continues to grow.
In addition to the standard red light and laser variants, Balluff now also offers
sensors equipped with Time-of-Flight (TOF) technology for long-distancesensing. They can detect objects safely and reliably at longer distances
despite their small housing.
Sensors in the 6K portfolio use a variety of light sources, including red light,
blue light, and laser variants, to perform all relevant detection principles.
All sensors in the family share a variety of standard features, including theircubical housing shape, IO-Link communication standards and general
operating principle.
This consistency significantly streamlines the parameterization andintegration of sensors. When combined with the smart PNP/NPN output,
it also minimizes the number of necessary variants.

Another major advantage of TOF sensors is theirversatility: they can be used in different environments,
as their operation doesn‘t depend on the surface ofthe object. They reliably detect both smooth andrough surfaces. In addition, they operate largely
independent of color, making them equally suitablefor detecting light and dark objects.
Finally, the sensors are impressively robust: Thesedust- and waterproof Time-of-Flight sensors with their
IP69 protection class, like all the BOS 6K sensors,
are ready for use in harsh, industrial environments.

The new BOS 6K sensors with TOF are a precise, fast and versatile solution
for distance measurement. Their Time-of-Flight technology sends light pulses
and measures the time they take to travel to the object and back. This isparticularly advantageous for background suppression, as it means that evena background close to the object can be reliably distinguished from the object
and the distance precisely measured.

The Time-of-Flight method also works reliably at greater distances, whichmeans that the sensors can be used for distances of up to 1.5 m despite
their compact design. This opens up completely new possibilities in thedesign of automation systems and makes the sensors very flexible to use.
These sensors achieve significantly better performance with a much smaller
design than was previously possible with considerably larger sensors.

Smart Automation and Monitoring System

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORSWITH CONDITION MONITORINGNEW

SAMS (Smart Automation and Monitoring System) stands for Balluff‘scomprehensive automation philosophy. On the one hand, the Smart
Automation and Monitoring System comprises a large number of
additional functions and additional information for each individualcomponent while, on the other hand, it is characterized by its uniform
and standardized operating, configuration and diagnosis concept.
Part of this system is our new BOS R254K photoelectric sensor for
reliable detection of objects like bottles, containers and pallets inthe food industry and in the packaging sector. Designed for demanding
applications, it is ideal wherever cleaning involves aggressive media andhigh pressure. Resistant to cleaning agents (Ecolab), it has passed thecleaning cycle according to the high Balluff standard. IP67 and IP69K
ratings enable use in critical applications with harsh ambient conditions,especially in factory automation.

Featuresn IO-Link V1.1 (Smart Sensor Profile 2)n Additional functions: various operating

modes also for demanding object detection(averaging, time and counting functions,dynamic switching threshold variation,
preset switching thresholds, emitter
LED monitoring, recording of extreme values)n Designed for harsh ambient conditionsn Sensor monitors itself and its environment:
temperature, humidity, vibration, inclination,
contamination, function reserve

Another plus: its numerous additional functions provide for comprehensive
condition monitoring. The sensor is self-monitoring while also providing
helpful diagnostic data. You also gain valuable information related to theinstalled location including the application itself. All in all, the sensor
ensures greater equipment uptime.
The sensor family includes diffuse sensors with background suppression,
retroreflective sensors and through-beam sensors. A particular highlightis the laser photoelectric proximity switch with a range of 1000 mm,
which operates with Time-of-Flight technology. This technology enables
both virtually object-independent object detection and reliable smallpart detection. The laser retro-reflective sensor with autocollimation ischaracterized by high switching accuracy and optimized small partdetection even over long distances.

A milestone in the field of metalworking
With the BFD ultrasonic position sensor with media contact, we are
expanding our portfolio to add an innovative way to directly monitor
hydraulic short-stroke cylinders. A reliable and economical solution
for workpiece clamping.

Easy integration and scalable use

Direct response to increasing production requirements
Existing solutions for monitoring work­piece clamping are either costintensive, inflexible or less reliable. As a result, they cannot always meetthe increasing demands on machine safety.
Our new ultrasonic position sensor provides a remedy: By emitting
ultrasound into the hydraulic fluid, the BFD monitors the clamping processof the workpiece directly, continuously and quickly. This generates reliable
information on the clamping status and lets you detect critical deviations
early on, like problems with the oil supply, casting errors, contour
deviations, insertion errors and deformed workpieces. By monitoring
the entire clamping process, you can also spot pressure fluctuationsin the hydraulic unit, defects in the swivel mechanism and defective
seals in ample time to take action.

Thanks to its small form factor, standardized
interface that can be configured as required, andcontinuous compensation, the sensor is easy
and flexible to integrate and can be usedplug and play in different media. Together
with standard system components from Balluff,
this makes for an exceptionally economical,
complete solution.
Relevant additional information is provided throughIO-Link. This allows you to detect critical changes
in the medium, e.g. due to air or particles in thehydraulic system.

Features
High-performance measurement over the entire
measuring range of 0...80 mm: high repeatabilityof ±50 μm, linearity deviation of ±250 µm■ Continuous compensation to adapt themeasurement to the type, composition andquality of the hydraulic fluid■ Flexible integration via IO-Link, as analog

Automation using reliable, intelligent and flexible position measurement

MAGNETOSTRICTIVE LINEAR POSITIONSENSOR WITH A MEASURING RANGEOF UP TO 1.5 KILOMETERS

Our new intelligent BTL LDPS magnetostrictive linear position sensor(Long Distance Positioning System) is designed for applications where
the absolute position of an object needs to be determined over great
distances and with high accuracy. When used with our rugged position
measuring system, it provides precise and reliable position information
over a measuring range of up to several hundred meters. This makes
the system ideal for typical applications on traveling cranes, overheadcranes, avoidance controls, as well as crane and trolley movement.

Features
Absolute linear position measuring systemwith a measuring range of up to 1.5 kilometers■ High reliability and low maintenance with a
non-contact and wear-free operating principle■ Resistant to harsh industrial environments (IP67)■ System automatically adjusts to themagnetic marking■ Repeat accuracy up to ±0.5 mm■

The measuring system is also available with a failsafe operating option –with redundant markings along the measuring track –, so that theefficiency, reliability and quality of your application is even more enhanced.
How does such precise position measurement work over long distances?
The BTL LDPS long distance position measuring system includes
magnetic markers installed along the track of the crane and whose
position is read by the magnetostrictive sensor installed on the crane.
Information about the position of the markings relative to the sensor
are sent to the controller, which, in turn, calculates the absolutecoordinates of the crane position with high accuracy. Reliability is,therefore, always ensured.

NEW

The position measuring system consists of a magnetostrictive sensor
with a Profinet interface, several magnets and a software function
block for incorporating it into a Siemens controller.

CONDITION MONITORINGSENSOR BCM GENERATION 2

CONDITION MONITORINGSENSOR BCM GENERATION 2
Unplanned downtime and disruptions in the production process can be
efficiently avoided with BCM condition monitoring sensors from Balluff.
These intelligent sensors provide condition data that you can use toautomate costly manual inspections. At the same time, this additional data
is an important building block for highly automated and networked
production. A standardized IO-Link interface combined with integrated
intelligent data pre-processing – the new generation of the popular BCM
now sets another milestone in the field of smart IO-Link sensor
technology. From condition monitoring of critical components andassemblies through to the detection of critical process states and thedetection of relevant process parameters for inline process optimization:
With the BCM Generation 2 you solve your condition monitoring
applications optimally.

Upgrade instead of update
The new condition monitoring sensor is more than an iterative further
development of the first generation. Rather, it is a completely new platform
with different hardware and firmware. The significantly improved
measurement performance in combination with more sophisticatedalgorithms allow the sensor to detect the smallest changes in conditioneven earlier and more precisely than before. Thanks to the new,convenient mounting design with just one screw, it is also even easier
to install. The small, round mounting surface makes it much simpler
to set about mounting on curved surfaces. This offers you enormous
advantages, especially for retrofit solutions.

In short: Compared to the first generation, the new
BCM scores with an even significantly higher
performance level, intelligent algorithms and asophisticated and efficient mounting design.

Compact camera modules featuring a scalable PCI express
interface for complex applications with a maximum transfer rate

TOP PERFORMANCE FOR
EMBEDDED VISION APPLICATIONS

NEW

By using the platform-independent PCI express interface (PCIe),the camera module family offers very high transfer rates at low cost.
Due to a direct connection of the image sensor, an almost latency-freetransfer is possible. Transfer of image data directly into the memory is
guaranteed (DMA – Direct Memory Access). Applications with highperformance requirements regarding resolution and frame rate are servedwith high image quality. Larger bit depths and FPGA- based debayering(in a 5 × 5 matrix) can be realized at low system costs. Here, the models of
the camera module family stand out with an even faster sensor connection,
optimized for the Gen4 sensors of the Pregius S series. PCIe makes a wide
range of processor architectures based on NVIDIA Jetson, ARM and x86
suitable, enabling optimal scalability in terms of performance. The camera
hardware is connected using its own screwable flex cable (30 cm) or astandardized OCuLink signal cable with a length of up to 1 m. Appropriate
adapter boards are available for the respective computer platforms.

Featuresn Platform independence – universal and scalable

integration thanks to PCI expressn Low system costs through camera

on-board image pre-processing functions
n Shorten your time to market through fast

integration and flexibility in platform selectionn High investment security due to the PCIe interface

and the standardized GenICam software interfacen High efficiency and minimal latency due to a direct

image sensor connection and FPGA-based
preprocessing

The Impact Acquire software development kit (SDK) supports our camerasin the same way as all other industrial cameras. In addition, the included
GenICam GenTL Producer ensures full compatibility with existing customer
software as well as 3rd party image processing packages and allows asmooth change of platform if required.

Configure IO-Link devices quickly and easily

Industrial networks with the IO-Link communication standard support
versatile and efficient digital production, with IO-Link ensuring seamless
communication from the sensor to the Internet. With an increasing
number of devices in use, configuration and diagnostics are very
time-consuming and require special skills. To simplify the commissioning
tasks of engineers, programmers, and maintenance staff, an increase
plant efficiency, making use of powerful software such as the Balluff
Engineering Tool offers considerable added value. This is because
it enables manufacturer-independent and centralized commissioning,
configuration and parameterization of IO-Link devices according
to the IO-Link standard for sensors and actuators.

BALLUFF ENGINEERING TOOL

Simple operation
This easy-to-use software provides central accessto parameterize all IO-Link devices in a network.
It provides an overview of the status of all IO-Link
devices and informs you about events and errors.
The user can easily document the current statusof the network and, without a programmable logic
controller (PLC), test inputs and outputs to avoid
wiring errors.

Faster commissioning
Featuresn Reduced commissioning time due to faster setupof IO-Link devices, even without a PLC
n Avoidance of wiring errors and reduction of time-consuming

troubleshooting by testing the IO-Link wiring before commissioningn Reduction of the complexity of IO-Link networks and simple,

intuitive operation

In addition, the Balluff Engineering Tool IO-Link
allows device settings and even entire machineor system configurations to be saved and reused.
This simplifies and speeds up commissioning andhelps to quickly change settings on a device whenwiring problems are detected and when testing
the machine.

n Central access to parameterization of all IO-Link devices andoverview of the connection status of the entire IO-Link topology
n Higher efficiency – only one software for all IO-Link sensors

and actuators independent of the manufacturer and for all Profinet
and Ethernet/IP IO-Link network modules from Balluff
n Increased system availability due to reduced maintenance times

www.balluff.com/go/betOrdering example:

Shortened maintenance times
The software also helps with the maintenance orservicing of IO-Link networks: missing or incorrectly
connected devices can be quickly detected, andchanges in the parameterization of a device canalso be analyzed and easily rectified. And if a device
should ever fail, the saved parameters can berestored after a device replacement. This reduces
maintenance times and increases system
availability.

measurement and identification to object
detection and fluid measurement.
Sensors for everyday industrial
applications as well as for use in extreme
and harsh environments. In addition, weoffer you the best network andconnection technology as well as anextensive range of accessories. Our
sensor technology forms the basis forthe automation and digitalization of yourmachines and plants. We offer sensors
in highest precision and best quality foryour processes.

Our identification solutions BIS, offer you
the key technology to implement
essential requirements of modern
manufacturing. With RFID technology,
objects and products can be clearly
assigned in the company and traced at
any time. RFID systems are used tomake all production steps transparent
and traceable and are therefore an
essential component for implementing
the requirements of modern production
and always keeping an eye on all data.

The requirements for modern production
systems are high: High productivity andflexibility to maintain maximum quality.
Our Balluff Vision Solutions (BVS) image
processing devices are designed tomeet these requirements.

To reliably control and monitor yourmachines and systems, you needprofessional industrial communicationand network technology. The
requirements for industrial networks areextensive and diverse. The everincreasing volume of data and complex
communication require powerful andreliable components that are capable oftransporting information across all levels.

Balluff Vision Solutions are used both inpart-checking during assembly and in
part-tracking during production. With
standardized interfaces, the units can beeasy to integrate and operate.

Digitalisation has long since arrived inindustrial production. In order to always
be up to date, it is important to be able
to rely on automated processes. With
our signalling and display devices, youknow at all times what the status ofproduction is. They reliably visualise thestatus of the machine and systemcomponents to be monitored byconverting the output signals of thesensors optically and acoustically. For
example, a display device such as our
SmartLight can be used to monitor thetemperature at defined points on yourmachine or system. If the temperature
exceeds a critical level for your machine,
this is immediately indicated by thepredefined optical warning signal. If thetemperature continues to rise, this canalso be signalled visually via theindicator.

Flexible and reliable - for us, these are
essential characteristics of goodconnection technology. At Balluff, you
get everything from a single source:
sensors, systems and network
technology as well as suitableconnectors and connection cables for awide range of requirements and optimal

For unique identification and immediate
traceability, a data carrier (RFIDtransponder) is attached to the object tobe identified, which acts as a memory.
The data is transmitted between the
RFID transponder and the read/write
head (reader) and passed on to thecontroller via the evaluation unit or an
IO-Link network module. Our RFID
solutions can be operated with almost
any common controller and theevaluation units support all frequency
ranges. And that is exactly what is
special about RFID - the contactlessexchange of information between RFID
transponder and reader.

They reliably detect errors, inspect
quality and are suitable for reliably
reading and verifying codes. Theirfunctions include the detection of
objects, 1D and 2D barcodes and thedetection of plain text. With this range ofcapabilities, these sensors are extremely
flexible.
