In-depth Technical Specifications of Pepperl+Fuchs Products

Let’s see the Pepperl+Fuchs vision system specifications and specifications for communication solutions.

Industrial Ethernet

Ethernet is an international standard for cable and fiber optic networks that connect many computers and devices. Industrial Ethernet differs from standard office Ethernet in more reliable connectors, cables, and special data transfer protocols. The most common industrial Ethernet protocols include the following: PROFINET®, EtherNet/IP®, EtherCAT®, SERCOS III, and POWERLINK. Data transmission technology rates in an industrial Ethernet network range from 10 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s. The operating conditions of industrial Ethernet differ significantly from office Ethernet, primarily in terms of temperature, vibration, and interference.

AS-Interface

AS-Interface is a low-level industrial network designed for communication with drives and sensors. All network components are connected by a 2-core cable used for power supply and information transfer. AS-Interface is a single-master system. The functions of master network devices are performed by communication processors of programmable controllers. The programmable controller is connected to the AS-Interface via DP/AS-I communication modules. The use of these modules allows the AS-Interface to be used as a PROFIBUS-DP subnet.

IO-Link

The IO-Link I/O module allows you to integrate safe sensors and actuators into IO-Link Safety systems. Eight safe digital inputs and four safe digital outputs are provided for this purpose. These connections allow you to easily install sensors and actuators in the field and access advanced diagnostic data.

3D vision sensors

3D sensors are designed for inspecting goods on conveyor belts or for pick-and-place operations in robotics. The 3D vision sensor provides highly accurate 3D point cloud images in addition to 2D images and is available with stereo vision or time-of-flight (ToF) technology.

2D vision sensors

Pepperl+Fuchs offers customized vision sensor solutions for a wide range of applications such as positioning, tracking, object recognition, quality control, camera identification, and optical measurement. Thanks to their flexible application, versatile vision sensors bridge the gap between simple 2D vision sensors and expensive vision systems.

Laser profile sensors

Laser profile sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs offer optimum precision and reliability regardless of surface structure, contrast, and color. These devices are also ideal for detecting, monitoring, and protecting even the smallest objects.

Technical vision systems

Industrial vision systems represent the most complex stage of image processing. They are tailored to the specific requirements of each application and are suitable for almost all industries.

Event cameras

The Event Camera provides 24/7 real-time visibility into your application, as well as an internal ring buffer to capture 60 seconds of video before and after a trigger event. Digital hardware input allows for easy integration of event recording and improved error analysis. Full HMI integration is possible thanks to the REST API.
