PANASONIC HG-TC — Displacement Sensors
Panasonic HG-TC: thru-beam type digital measurement sensor controller, IP40.
Status: In production
Brand: Panasonic
Product: Thru-beam type digital measurement sensor controller
Series: HG-T
Protection: IP40 (IEC)
HG-TC is the controller family for Panasonic’s HG-T thru-beam type digital measurement sensor heads: the master unit (HG-TC101) and slave units (HG-TC111/113) connect side by side on a DIN rail; up to 15 slave units per master, with analog voltage/current and three control outputs. Sampling: 1 ms (standard) / 0.5 ms (high-speed).
Control outputs: NPN / PNP open-collector, max. 50 mA. Analog voltage output: 1…5 V. Analog current output: 4…20 mA. Supply: 24 V DC ±10 % including 0.5 V ripple (P-P). Degree of protection: IP40 (IEC). Ambient temperature: −10 to +50 °C (no condensation).
