DL100-21HA2101 SICK Dx100 Pro Distance Sensor SSI Heated IP65

DL100-21HA2101 SICK Dx100 Pro Long-Range Laser Distance Sensor

DL100-21HA2101 from SICK is a high-precision phase-shift laser sensor for dynamic positioning. It reads Diamond Grade reflective tape up to 100 m. The Dx100 DL100 Pro family targets automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS). SSI fieldbus output and 1 ms internal cycle support fast motion control. An integrated heater allows cold-storage use down to -40 °C.

FAQ

Q: Why does this sensor need reflective tape?

A: It uses phase-shift measurement. Diamond Grade tape gives a strong, stable return signal up to 100 m.

Q: Can I use it without the heater?

A: Yes, but the heater enables -40 °C operation. In cold storage, keep it active for stable readings.

Q: What cable pairs with the SSI M12 8-pin port?

A: Use a shielded 8-pin M12 SSI cable. Match Gray or Binary code to your controller.

Q: How do I align it for long travel?

A: Use the optical 3-axis bracket. Aim at the tape center and check signal strength on the LC display.

Q: Is 15 m/s tracking enough for my crane?

A: Most ASRS cranes run below 6 m/s. This sensor covers high-speed and high-acceleration axes with margin.
