Banner Engineering Q4X Laser Distance Sensor w/ Dual Outputs & IO-Link


Banner Engineering’s new Q4X dual channel sensor can be configured with dual discrete outputs, providing a single sensor solution for applications such as high/low monitoring for fill level or dancer arms. New functionalities, such as offsets, totalizer, and pulse frequency modulation (PFM) output provide a unique set of tools for solving a wider range of applications. Q4X with IO-Link provides users with additional benefits, such as remote configuration, sensor backup, and easier preventative maintenance. All of these new capabilities continue to reinforce the Q4X as the ultimate problem solving sensor.
