Ultrasonic Sensor Series UC18GS with IO-Link
Benefits
Ticking All Imaginable Boxes
The UC18GS series literally ticks all the boxes—in terms of functionalities and features it combines everything you can expect from a state-of-the-art ultrasonic sensor.
Application-Specific Adaption
The adjustable sound beam width, small dead band, and built-in interference target suppression enable optimal adaption of the UC18GS ultrasonic sensors to the application settings while significantly increasing process reliability.
Easy Synchronization of Multiple Sensors
By means of the automatic synchronization feature, the UC18GS series supports the easy synchronization of multiple sensors without parameterization.
Extensive Programming Options
Whether traditional pushbuttons or interfaces like IO-Link or IrDA—UC18GS ultrasonic sensors give users maximum freedom when it comes to programming options.

IO-Link: The Intelligent Communication Technology
An internationally standardized, cross-vendor open interface, IO-Link is an integral part of Pepperl+Fuchs’ IIoT solutions. It is standardized according to IEC 61131-9 and is compatible with any fieldbus on the market.
IO-Link sensors like the UC18GS can be configured via the control system. This simplifies commissioning and makes quick recipe changes possible without extended downtime. Even complete individualization—batch size 1 production—is possible. For example, the beam width on an UC18GS ultrasonic sensor can be adjusted to accommodate different container shapes in a level measurement application.
