SICK WTE11-2P1132 458 866 PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR 10-30VDC 100MA 4-PINS 5304549 C 110A

Key Product Description

• Function: A photoelectric sensor that uses a light beam to detect the presence or absence of an object. The polarized filter allows it to reliably detect shiny, reflective objects (like metal packaging) without false triggers, which is a key advantage over standard retro-reflective sensors.

• Typical Applications: Detecting objects on conveyor belts, in packaging machinery, material handling, and assembly automation. Ideal for detecting reflective surfaces.

Technical Specifications (from the code and standard WTE11 data)

1. Operating Principle: Polarized Retro-reflective

   • The sensor emits a light beam to a dedicated reflector (corner-cube reflector). The beam is polarized on transmission. The reflector “depolarizes” the beam. The sensor’s receiver only accepts the depolarized reflected light, ignoring direct reflections from shiny objects.

2. Power Supply: 10-30 VDC

   • Standard industrial DC voltage range, compatible with PLC and common DC power supplies.

3. Current Consumption: ≤ 100 mA

   • The maximum load the sensor itself will draw from the power supply.

4. Output Type: The “-1132” suffix is crucial. For SICK WTE11 series, this typically means:

   • 1 x PNP, NO (Normally Open) switching output + 1 x PNP, NO (Normally Open) “Teach-In” or “Diagnostic” output.

   • Output Function: The main output switches on when an object is detected (light beam interrupted). The second output can often be used for remote parameter setting (Teach-In) or as a separate diagnostic signal (e.g., signal strength indicator). Consult the manual for the exact function of the second output.

   • Max. Load Current: Likely 100 mA per output (standard for this series).

5. Electrical Connection: 4-pin M12 quick-disconnect connector.

   • Pinout (Typical for WTE11 PNP with dual outputs):

     • Pin 1: +V (Power Supply +)

     • Pin 2: Output 2 (Teach-In / Aux)

     • Pin 3: 0V (Power Supply -)

     • Pin 4: Output 1 (Main Switching Output)

   • Always verify with the sensor’s datasheet label.

6. Housing: Compact, cylindrical barrel shape typical of the WTE11 series.

7. Sensing Range: For polarized retro-reflective WTE11 models, the standard sensing range is typically up to 2.5 meters or 4 meters, depending on the exact variant. Refer to the label for the precise “Sxxx” range code.

8. Light Source: Usually a visible red LED or laser red LED for easy alignment.

9. Indicator LEDs:

   • Green LED (PWR): Power indication.

   • Yellow LED (OUT): Output switching status.

   • Multi-color/Function LED: Often used for signal strength or Teach-In status.

10. Features:

    • Teach-In Function: Allows easy setting of the switching threshold via a button or remote input (often using the second output pin).

    • High environmental immunity: Resistant to ambient light interference.

    • Fixed Cable or Connector Version: The “-2P1132” suggests a fixed cable version. The “C 110A” on your code likely indicates a 1100mm (1.1m) cable length.

Breakdown of Your Full Code:

• WTE11-2P1132: Core product model (Polarized Retro-reflective, PNP dual output).

• 458 866: Internal SICK article number or manufacturing code.
