Developed to complement the existing DeviceNet offering, the EtherNet/IP laser is a standard product and is available with various operating distances as well as cooling and heating options for the most extreme environments. The laser is also available with Profibus and CAN interfaces. With this laser-based system, the emitter/receiver is positioned opposite a target and as the distance between the two is varied, the position is evaluated and a corresponding value is transmitted from the device to the control system.
