SICK DL100-21AA2212 Laser Distance Sensor PROFINET

SICK DL100-21AA2212 Laser Distance Sensor

Product Introduction

The SICK DL100-21AA2212 belongs to the Dx100 series and the DL100 Pro sub-series. It uses phase shift optical time-of-flight laser distance measurement. Specifically, the device measures from 0.15 m to 100 m on Diamond Grade reflective tape. This makes it ideal for automated storage and retrieval systems. Moreover, the sensor handles a maximum tracking velocity of 15 m/s and acceleration of 15 m/s². Because of its PROFINET IO Netload Class III interface, it supports enhanced cybersecurity and robust network traffic handling. In addition, an integrated LC display simplifies menu navigation. The optical 3-axis alignment bracket also speeds up commissioning. Therefore, the DL100-21AA2212 fits ASRS, crane positioning, and high-bay warehouse applications.

Technical and Optical Specifications

First, the measuring range spans 0.15 m to 100 m on Diamond Grade reflective tape. The light source is a visible red laser diode at 658 nm wavelength. Its laser class is Class 2 per IEC 60825-1:2014 and EN 60825-1:2014, with average optical power below 1 mW. The output time or measurement cycle is ≥1 ms, with a continuous internal measurement rate of 1 ms that depends on the fieldbus cycle. Furthermore, repeatability ranges from 0.5 mm to 1 mm, typically 0.5 mm at 1 σ. The measurement accuracy is typically ±2 mm to ±3 mm. Additionally, the maximum tracking velocity reaches 15 m/s, and the maximum acceleration reaches 15 m/s².

Interface and Electrical Specifications

The output and communication interface uses PROFINET IO Netload Class III. Furthermore, two auxiliary digital outputs are available as push-pull (PNP/NPN, configurable B/Q, ≤100 mA). A multifunctional input (MF) is also provided. The supply voltage ranges from DC 18 V to 30 V with reverse-polarity protection. Power consumption is typically 8 W to 10 W. For electrical connection, power uses a male M12 4-pin connector. Meanwhile, PROFINET uses 2x female M12, 4-pin D-coded SPEEDCON connectors.

Mechanical and Environmental Specifications

The DL100-21AA2212 measures 69.4 mm x 82.5 mm x 100.2 mm. Its housing uses aluminum die-cast with an acrylic glass (PMMA) optical window. The device weighs approximately 800 g. The enclosure protection rating is IP65 per EN 60529. The ambient operating temperature ranges from -20 °C to +55 °C. Storage temperature spans -40 °C to +75 °C. Additionally, the sensor provides continuous condition monitoring. This includes signal level attenuation, laser diode aging, and temperature tracking. The integrated LC display and optical 3-axis alignment bracket further support setup and diagnostics.

Installation Guide

Mounting the DL100-21AA2212 begins with aligning the sensor to the reflective tape. First, use the optical 3-axis alignment bracket for precise adjustment. Next, keep the measurement path within 0.15 m to 100 m on Diamond Grade tape. Then, connect power through the male M12 4-pin connector at 18 to 30 V DC. After that, wire the two PROFINET ports with 4-pin D-coded SPEEDCON connectors. Meanwhile, configure the digital outputs and multifunctional input as needed. Besides, verify the LC display for signal level and temperature status. Finally, confirm the tracking velocity and acceleration stay within 15 m/s and 15 m/s².
