Telemecanique XXS18P1VM12 is a diffuse ultrasonic sensor from the XXS series of the XX range, with a straight cylindrical M18 body. Nominal sensing distance is 1 m, sensing range 0.105–1 m and blind zone 105 mm. It works at a 200 kHz transmission frequency with 0.1 % repeat accuracy and tolerates a ±10° object deviation from 90°. It has a 0–10 V analog output, runs on a 24 V DC rated supply (14–30 V DC limits) and draws 30 mA. Without synchronisation or multiplexing, sensors must be at least 50 cm apart.
Near and far limits are taught with a pushbutton on the white wire, the XXZPB100 remote teach pushbutton or the configurator software. The voltage output requires a load of at least 1 kΩ; the output is overload and short-circuit protected. Joining the grey pin 5 wires synchronises up to 8 sensors side by side. The enclosure is PBT with an epoxy resin and rubber front face; dimensions are 18 × 18 × 64 mm, weight 0.033 kg. Protection is IP65 and IP67; operating temperature is -25 – +70 °C.

Is this ultrasonic sensor right for your application?
Share the object to be detected or the level to be measured (liquid, granules, transparent or coloured surface), the required sensing range, the mounting conditions (adjacent sensors, inclined surface), ambient conditions (dust, vapour, temperature) and your PLC input (analogue 4–20 mA / 0–10 V, PNP/NPN); let’s select the right ultrasonic sensor together.
