Overview

The SICK GTB2S-P5311 is a background suppression photoelectric sensor from the G2S series, designed for panel mounting. It features a block-style housing with an M8 interface and a 3-pin connector. The device utilizes a red light source and provides a PNP output. It operates within a detection range of 1 mm to 18 mm. Electrical specifications include a maximum DC voltage of 30V and a maximum current of 50mA. The unit supports a response time of 600μs and functions reliably in temperatures ranging from -25°C to +50°C. It carries IP67 protection and holds CE and UL certifications.

Feature Summary

• Background suppression technology ensures consistent detection regardless of target surface reflectivity or color variations.
• Compact block-shaped design facilitates integration into confined industrial spaces via panel mounting.
• Robust construction with IP67 rating provides reliable operation in demanding environments.

Applications

• Object detection on production lines with varying surface textures
• Position verification in automated packaging machinery
• Presence sensing in material handling systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application environment does not exceed the maximum operating temperature of 50°C or minimum of -25°C. Confirm compatibility with the control system's PNP input requirements and ensure the supply voltage remains within the 30V DC limit. Check that the M8 connector type matches existing wiring infrastructure.

Selection Notes

Select this model when background suppression is required for targets with unpredictable reflectivity. The short detection range suits close-proximity sensing tasks. Ensure the installation allows for panel mounting and accommodates the block form factor. Consider the red light source wavelength if optical interference from other sources is a potential concern.
