DS50-P1112 SICK Dx50 HDDM Switching Sensor 10 m Dual PNP

DS50-P1112 SICK Dx50 Dual PNP HDDM Switching Sensor

The SICK DS50-P1112 is a switching distance sensor from the Dx50 DS50 Switching family. It uses HDDM™ optical time-of-flight to detect natural targets up to 10 m. Two PNP outputs, Q1 and Q2, give independent switching points. Adjustable hysteresis from 1 mm to 9,999 mm blocks false triggers on rough surfaces. Fast 10 ms response and 50 Hz switching frequency fit high-speed conveyor and sorting lines.

Oiltech Controls Review

• The DS50-P1112 replaces mechanical limit switches on conveyors.
• Dual PNP outputs handle two zones with one sensor.
• 10 ms response catches fast-moving packages and pallets.
• Adjustable hysteresis stops chattering on vibrating belts.
• The LC display shows live distance for quick threshold setup.
• Zinc housing survives dust, splash, and impact in IP65 areas.

Oiltech Controls’s Insight

• Set Q1 as a presence trigger and Q2 as a jam or overflow alarm.
• Widen hysteresis on shiny or dark targets to reduce false trips.
• Use Fast 10 ms only when needed; Slow 50 ms improves stability.
• Check PLC input type: this model sources PNP current.
• For NPN panels, select the DT50-N1113 instead.
• Cooling plates and protection filter extend use near ovens and furnaces.

Suitable Equipment

• High-speed conveyor and sortation systems
• Palletizing and packaging machines
• Crane and gantry anti-collision systems
• Automated storage and retrieval systems
• Steel and heavy material handling lines
• Automotive body shop fixtures
• Logistics portal and gate monitoring

Installation Notes

• Mount on a rigid bracket to prevent vibration drift.
• Align the laser axis square to the target.
• Wire the M12 5-pin connector per the pin diagram.
• Keep supply within DC 10 V to 30 V.
• Add cooling plates above +65 °C ambient.
• Add protection filter for extreme heat and dirt.
• Verify IP65 seal after mounting.

Commissioning and Maintenance

• Set switching points Q1 and Q2 with the LC display.
• Adjust hysteresis to match target surface and vibration.
• Pick Fast 10 ms for fast lines, Slow 50 ms for noisy targets.
• Clean the PMMA window with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• Inspect M12 pins for moisture and damage.
• Recheck alignment after impact or service.

FAQ

Q: Can I use Q1 and Q2 for two separate conveyor zones?

A: Yes. Each PNP output has its own switching point. Set Q1 for zone A and Q2 for zone B. This cuts sensor count and wiring. Confirm total current stays under 100 mA per output.

Q: How do I stop false switching on a vibrating belt?

A: Increase switching hysteresis. Start around 50 mm to 100 mm. Raise it until chatter stops. Also use Slow 50 ms response. Check bracket rigidity before changing settings.

Q: What is the real switching frequency I can expect?

A: Up to 50 Hz with Fast 10 ms response. Real speed depends on target size, remission, and hysteresis. Test on the actual line before final commissioning.

Q: Should I choose DS50-P1112 or DT50-P1123 for my line?

A: Choose DS50-P1112 for on/off switching with two PNP outputs. Choose DT50-P1123 for analog 4–20 mA distance feedback. If you need both switching and analog, use the DT50-P1123 and a separate switch input.

Q: What should I check on a refurbished or surplus DS50-P1112?

A: Verify both PNP outputs, test hysteresis settings, check the PMMA window, and inspect M12 pins. Oiltech Controls tests each unit and gives a 12-month warranty. Ask for the test record if downtime is critical.
