DL50-2B215252 SICK Dx50-2 Long Range Sensor 50 m IO-Link

DL50-2B215252 SICK Dx50-2 Long Range HDDM Distance Sensor

The SICK DL50-2B215252 is a next-generation distance sensor in the Dx50-2 family. It measures retro-reflective targets up to 50 m on Diamond Grade tape. The HDDM™ time-of-flight engine reaches a 3 kHz measuring rate. One device offers IO-Link V1.1, push-pull switching, and configurable analog output. Dual IP65 and IP67 ratings cover washdown and dusty plants. An extended -40 °C to +65 °C range works without an internal heater.

Oiltech Controls Review

• The DL50-2B215252 targets long-range positioning on cranes and gantries.
• 50 m range on reflective tape cuts wiring runs on large frames.
• 3 kHz rate tracks fast trolleys and moving carriages.
• IO-Link V1.1 gives remote parameter access and diagnostics.
• Push-pull output works with PNP or NPN input cards.
• IP67 rating handles washdown and outdoor cabinets.

Oiltech Controls’s Insight

• Use Diamond Grade tape for full 50 m range; standard tape shortens reach.
• Set response time low for fast axes, higher for noisy long distances.
• IO-Link lets you swap sensors without re-teaching thresholds.
• Analog output can be 4–20 mA or 0–10 V, so check your card type.
• No internal heater needed down to -40 °C, saving power.
• For legacy panels without IO-Link, the push-pull output still works.

Suitable Equipment

• Crane and gantry long-range positioning
• Automated storage and retrieval cranes
• Port and container handling equipment
• Steel mill carriage and roll positioning
• Large conveyor and transfer systems
• Outdoor logistics portals and gates
• Heavy machinery anti-collision systems

Installation Notes

• Mount on a rigid bracket to avoid long-range drift.
• Align the laser axis square to the reflective tape.
• Use Diamond Grade tape for maximum 50 m range.
• Wire the M12 5-pin connector per the pin diagram.
• Keep supply within DC 10 V to 30 V.
• Check IP67 seal and cable gland after mounting.
• Keep the tape clean for stable readings.

Commissioning and Maintenance

• Set response time from 0.83 ms to 75 ms by speed setting.
• Configure Q1 as push-pull or IO-Link mode.
• Set QA as 4–20 mA or 0–10 V before wiring.
• Use IO-Link for parameter backup and cloning.
• Clean the PMMA window with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Inspect M12 pins for moisture and damage.

Compatibility

FAQ

Q: Can the DL50-2B215252 reach 50 m on any reflective target?

A: No. The 50 m range needs Diamond Grade reflective tape. Standard tape or natural targets reduce the range. Always mount the tape square to the laser axis and keep it clean.

Q: How do I choose between IO-Link and push-pull output?

A: Use IO-Link when your master supports parameter cloning and diagnostics. Use push-pull when you only need a switching signal. Q1 supports both modes, so you can start simple and upgrade later.

Q: What response time should I set for a fast crane trolley?

A: Start at 0.83 ms for fast motion. If readings get noisy at long distance, increase step by step. Faster settings reduce averaging and may pick up ambient light or tape dirt.

Q: Can I use the analog output on an old PLC card?

A: Yes, if the card accepts 4–20 mA or 0–10 V. Check input impedance: 4–20 mA needs ≤ 450 Ω, 0–10 V needs ≥ 50 kΩ. Match the QA setting to the card before wiring.

Q: What should I check on a refurbished or surplus DL50-2B215252?

A: Verify IO-Link communication, test both analog ranges, check Q1 push-pull switching, inspect the PMMA window, and confirm IP67 seals. Oiltech Controls tests each unit and gives a 12-month warranty. Ask for the test record if the crane cannot stop.
