Description
Product Name: 45CSA-103608-M0379 Allen Bradley Input module
Product details:
The 45CSA-103608-M0379 is an Allen-Bradley product, which is a brand of Rockwell Automation, specializing in industrial automation and control.
1. Product Details (产品详细说明)
- Product Type: Discrete Light Array Photoelectric Sensor.
- Series: Part of the 45CSA Process Eco series of light curtains/light arrays.
- Function: It is a sensing device, typically consisting of an Emitter and a Receiver pair, that creates a two-dimensional sensing field. It provides a simple discrete (On/Off) output when an object breaks the light beams.
- Specific Configuration: The catalog number breakdown suggests:
- 45CSA: Series designation (Process Eco Light Curtain/Light Array).
- 103608-M0379: Specific model or configuration code. Based on similar catalog numbers, the “M0379” variant often indicates a specific length and a specific number of sensing elements (e.g., 8 elements based on cross-referencing similar part numbers).
- Requires Controller: This light array pair (Emitter/Receiver) is often designed to work with a separate dedicated Control Unit (e.g., 45CSA-102075 or 45CSA-104458) to process the signals and provide the final output.
2. Product Parameters (产品参数 – Typical Specifications)
Since the exact, complete specifications are highly dependent on the “M0379” variant details, here are typical parameters for the 45CSA Discrete Light Array series:
| Parameter | Typical Value / Range |
| Sensing Principle | Through-Beam (Emitter/Receiver pair) |
| Sensing Field | Two-Dimensional area sensing |
| Output Type | Discrete (ON/OFF) – typically via an external controller. |
| Number of Beams/Elements | Often 8, 16, 24, or 32 elements depending on the Mxxx code. For M0379, typically 8 elements. |
| Beam Resolution | Determined by element spacing (e.g., $40 \text{mm}$ spacing). |
| Sensing Length (Height) | Depends on the number of elements and spacing. |
| Max Sensing Range | Typically several meters (e.g., $0.5 \text{m}$ to $8 \text{m}$). |
| Supply Voltage | Depends on the connected control unit (e.g., $17…240 \text{V AC}$ or $15…30 \text{V DC}$). |
| Connection | Quick Disconnect (e.g., M12). |
| Enclosure Rating | Typically IP65 or better (for industrial environments). |
| Response Time | Fast, suitable for high-speed applications. |
3. Product Advantages (产品优势)
- Cost-Effective Area Detection: Provides coverage over a wide two-dimensional area without the high cost of a safety light curtain.
- Irregular Target Detection: Excels at detecting irregularly shaped, sized, or positioned parts because it creates a wide sensing field.
- Versatility: Suitable for detection, counting, inspection, and presence sensing of various objects.
- Robust Industrial Design: Built to withstand harsh industrial environments (high IP rating, durable housing).
- Simple Discrete Output: Provides a straightforward ON/OFF signal, simplifying integration into standard PLC or control systems.
- Modularity: The Emitter/Receiver pair works with a dedicated controller, offering flexible installation and control options.
4. Precautions (注意事项)
- Not a Safety Device: The 45CSA Process Eco Light Array is generally not certified as a Safety Light Curtain (like the Allen-Bradley GuardShield series) and must not be used for personnel protection applications where the failure of the device could result in injury.
- Controller Required: The Light Array pair must be correctly connected to and operated with a compatible Allen-Bradley 45CSA Control Unit.
- Alignment: Proper alignment between the Emitter and Receiver is crucial for reliable operation. Misalignment can lead to intermittent or false readings.
- Operating Environment: Ensure the operating temperature, humidity, and exposure to dust/liquids are within the specified limits (check the product manual for the exact M0379 model).
- Cleaning: The lens surfaces of the Emitter and Receiver should be kept clean to maintain signal integrity.
5. Product Applications (产品应用)
This type of discrete light array is commonly used in various industrial applications for presence sensing and object control:
- Part Counting and Inspection: Detecting the presence or counting of parts on a conveyor belt, regardless of their precise position within the sensing field.
- Pallet and Box Detection: Confirming the presence and correct height of boxes, crates, or pallets in material handling systems.
- Web Guiding/Control: Sensing the edge or width of continuous materials (like paper, film, or metal) for alignment.
- Ejection Monitoring: Ensuring that small parts are correctly ejected from a press or machine.
- Simple Machine Control: Providing input to a PLC for various automation tasks like starting or stopping a process based on object presence.
