Radar distance sensor

CANopenCANweather-resistant

Thanks to advanced FMCW radar technology, Pepperl+Fuchs radar sensors detect distances as well as speeds and directions of movement of target objects—at a distance of more than 25 meters. Even under the most adverse conditions, industrial radar sensors deliver reliable measurement results. This is ensured by a combination of low-interference operating principle, robust CAN technology, high degree of protection (IP68/69), and extended temperature range. Radar sensors know hardly any limits: The electromagnetic waves they emit effortlessly penetrate most materials, making it possible to easily suppress interfering targets with lower reflectivity than the actual target object. With sampling rates of up to 200 Hz, radar sensors from Pepperl+Fuchs detect motion speeds in the range of -80 ... +80 m/s. In conjunction with E1-comparable EMC values, CANopen interface and vehicle-typical connectors, this makes them ideal for use on mobile machines. Compared to other sensory operating principles, radar waves offer unique advantages: They are hardly susceptible to interference and propagate near the speed of light They are reflected by all materials to some extent They are able to penetrate most materials to a certain degree Pepperl+Fuchs FMCW (frequency modulated continuous wave) radar sensors take advantage of precisely these properties and make them available in the form of a solution that meets the highest industrial requirements: Three different measurement modes, long ranges, fast detection speeds, and the ability to detect virtually any target are just one dimension of these sensors.
