Purchase now: Atlantech Drives provides you the Wenglor P1NH102, the cutting-edge Reflex Sensor with Background Suppression (BGS) from the Performance 1NH series. This sensor is the modern successor to the classic HN22 series, bringing Industry 4.0 capabilities to standard detection tasks. It utilizes visible Red Light and features an integrated IO-Link 1.1 interface, allowing for remote configuration, condition monitoring, and digital signal transmission, alongside the standard switching output (PNP/NPN).
Technical Specifications and Condition Monitoring
The P1NH102 offers a sensing range of 30 … 200 mm, which is electronically adjustable. Its key advantage is the «Condition Monitoring» feature: via IO-Link, the sensor reports the signal quality and can alert the PLC if the lens is getting dirty or if the target alignment is shifting, *before* the machine stops. The housing is ultra-compact (50x20x12 mm) and rated IP67/IP68, ensuring survival in wet environments. The switching frequency of 1,000 Hz ensures reliable detection of fast-moving packages.

Expert Tips: Upgrading from HN22
Modernize your line. Expert Tip: If you are replacing an old HN22PA3, the P1NH102 is the direct technological upgrade. It fits in the same physical space and uses the same M12 connector. The main difference is the «Potentiometer» is now electronic (Teach-In or IO-Link), which makes it vibration-proof—no more screws turning themselves loose over time!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use it without IO-Link?
A: Absolutely. Out of the box, it works as a standard sensor with a PNP switching output. You don’t need an IO-Link master to use its basic functions.
Q: Does it see black objects?
A: Yes, the background suppression is excellent. The «Black/White Shift» is very low, meaning it detects black rubber just as accurately as white paper at 200mm.
