23DF3-3000

The catalog number 23DF3-3000 is the catalog number for a Photoswitch impulse control module that is available through Series 3000 by Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation. The module is modular and it includes a side view feature along with a photoelectric sensor. Additionally, the 23DF3-3000 impulse control module comes with a scanner control feature. The Type 23DF3 module is built with high-quality housing and it includes knobs for the adjustment of the light sensitivity and for increasing or decreasing the light. The 23DF3-3000 Photoswitch module is an input module which is part of Series B. The 23DF3-3000 module has high-sensitivity control features which allow for the detection of conductive liquids or solids. The 23DF3-3000 module is a very compact component that has a modular design that provides much needed flexibility and reliability in an industrial setting. The module has a specified ambient temperature range of -40 to 57 degrees Celsius or -40 to 134 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Allen-Bradley 23DF3-3000 Photoswitch module has high voltage connections that are isolated from the low voltage and terminals which are extremely easy to wire. The module is made of specially molded parts that in turn are made from a resistant and rugged combination of polyphenylene oxide and polystyrene materials. The module supports the use of different probes and options that can further expand its capabilities. The 23DF3-3000 module responds in 0.2 seconds and it has a permissible lead length of 609.6 meters (2000 feet) maximum. The supported wire size is #16 AWG. The module has an input voltage of 120 to 240 Volts with an operating frequency range of 50 to 60 Hertz. The typical power consumption of the module with a control base is around 3 Watts. The resistance sensing sensitivity of the module is 0 to 15 megaOhms in 6 different ranges.
