Leuze Sensor DDLS 500 with 100 Mbit/s real-time transmission

Description

Optical data transmission photoelectric sensors make it possible to wirelessly transmit the data in industrial networks from moving system parts in conveyor systems, such as high-bay storage devices, gantry crane bridges or side-tracking skates, and to do so without interference over long distances. Devices available on the market up to now require a not insignificant amount of effort for alignment and adjustment during commissioning on site and permit only local error diagnostics. The new DDLS 500 from Leuze electronic now combines excellent performance data such as 100 Mbit/s real-time transmission over a distance of up to 200 m with a world first: by means of remote diagnostics through the use of an integrated web server, all relevant data can be called up worldwide.

Features

100 Mbit/s High-Speed Real-Time Ethernet: Utilizes a fast Ethernet-based physical layer (100BASE-TX) with a proprietary real-time protocol, offering significantly higher bandwidth than traditional fieldbuses for data-intensive sensors like 3D cameras, laser scanners, or spectral analyzers.
Deterministic & Low-Latency Communication: Guarantees precise timing and minimal delay in data transmission, which is essential for closed-loop control in high-speed machinery, robotics, and synchronous multi-sensor applications.
Integrated IP Networking Capability: Supports standard TCP/IP communication alongside real-time data, allowing for simultaneous transmission of measurement values, device configuration, rich diagnostic data, and even firmware updates over a single standard Ethernet cable.
Precise Synchronization: Features integrated hardware-based synchronization mechanisms (e.g., based on IEEE 1588 PTP), enabling precise timestamping and synchronous data acquisition from multiple distributed sensors across a network.
Simplified Topology & Cabling: Leverages standard Ethernet infrastructure (star topology with switches), simplifying system design, reducing dedicated cabling, and enabling easier integration into existing plant networks.
Comprehensive Data & Diagnostics: Transmits not only primary measurement values but also extensive secondary data, status information, and predictive maintenance parameters, providing deep insights into both the process and the sensor health.

Applications

High-Speed Robotics & Motion Control: Real-time feedback for dynamic path correction, force-torque sensing, and bin-picking applications where latency directly impacts performance.
Advanced Machine Vision Systems: Direct integration of high-resolution 2D/3D cameras and laser profilers for in-line inspection, measurement, and guidance, transmitting large image data sets with minimal delay.
Logistics & Parcel Sorting: High-speed dimensioning, scanning, and weighing in conveyor systems that require the instantaneous processing of data from multiple sensors to make routing decisions.
Printing & Web Processing: Synchronized control of multi-axis printing presses, laminators, and converting machines using data from high-resolution distance or contour sensors.
Pharmaceutical & Electronic Assembly: Precision alignment, dispensing, and assembly processes that rely on the simultaneous, coordinated data from several high-accuracy sensors.
