Overview
Our Bulletin 42EA RightSight™ S18, 42CE RightSight C18 and 42EF RightSight M18 photoelectric sensors feature a wide range of sensing modes and are ideal for general purpose and cost-sensitive applications in material handling, packaging and other industries. The RightSight family offers industry standard housing for mounting flexibility and embedded IO-Link one-to-one communication protocols that for an advanced proximity detection solutions.
Additional Information
Rockwell Automation announces that as of March 2016, specific 42EF RightSight polarized retro-reflective, diffuse, and transmitted beam sensor models are discontinued and no longer for sale.
To support your transition, we recommend that you migrate to our enhanced 42EF Series D sensors. The 42EF Series D sensors offer IO-Link 1.1 protocol which provides users with additional sensor diagnostics when connected to an IO-Link master.
