OPCON 8170A-6501 Photoelectric control unit

1. Product Description

The 8170A-6501 is a self-powered control unit belonging to the 70 Series modular photoelectric sensors. It is designed to work with remote sensor heads (such as thru-beam, reflex, or diffuse reflective types) by providing a regulated power source and a demodulation circuit to interpret the optical signals received from the sensor heads.

2. Technical Specifications

3. Product Advantages

• Modular Design: Allows users to mix and match sensor heads and plug-in output modules (like relays or solid-state outputs) to fit specific application needs.

• Long-Distance Sensing: Capable of supporting sensing ranges from 15 ft up to over 700 ft depending on the remote head used.

• Durability: Housed in a rugged, die-cast aluminum enclosure suitable for harsh industrial environments involving moisture or dust.

• Precision Alignment: Features LED indicators for beam alignment and status, simplifying the setup process.

• Flexible Mounting: Control units can be mounted up to 1,000 feet away from the actual sensor heads.

4. Precautions & Maintenance

• Output Device Required: This unit is a control module; it typically requires a separate plug-in output device (e.g., a relay module) to drive an external load.

• Voltage Specificity: Ensure the input power is exactly 115 VAC. Connecting to 230V or DC power without a converter will damage the internal circuitry.

• Wiring Safety: Power should be disconnected before opening the enclosure or changing the internal logic modules to avoid electrical shock.

• Lens Maintenance: While the control unit is sealed, the remote sensor heads must be kept clean of debris for accurate signal demodulation.

5. Industrial Applications

The OPCON 8170A-6501 is widely used in automated manufacturing for:

• Conveyor Systems: Detecting the presence or absence of packages and triggering diverters.

• Web Guiding: Used with slot sensor heads to monitor the edge of moving materials like paper, plastic, or metal foil.

• Positioning: Ensuring machinery components are correctly aligned before a process (like welding or stamping) begins.

• Counting: High-speed counting of objects on a production line.
