23DF3-3001

The Allen-Bradley/Rockwell Automation part with the catalog number 23DF3-3001 is made for industrial machine systems which operate at a high level. The 23DF3-3001 part is a Photoswitch module with a photoelectric sensor. The module operates with resistance-sensing control technology and it includes features like a modular design, a quick response time, heavy-duty terminals, compatibility with a wide range of probes that can be used for different applications, and a high level of water and liquid resistance. The 23DF3-3001 Photoswitch module comes with a side view option and scanner control. The protective housing of the 23DF3-3001 Photoswitch module is made from durable plastic materials like PPO and PS.

The ambient operating temperature range of the 23DF3-3001 Photoswitch module is -40 to 57 degrees Celsius (-40 to 134 degrees Fahrenheit). In addition to that, the unit consumes less power than similar competitive products and it allows for a lead length of more than 600 meters (2000 feet). The solid-state output voltage signal of the unit is 12 Volts DC when the open circuit is limited to 30 milliAmps of current for short circuits. The manufacturer suggests using #16 AWG gauge wire for the wiring and it specifies that the response time of the 23DF3-3001 module should be between 0.003 to 0.2 seconds. The module has a maximum probe current of 65 to 0.001 milliAmps and a maximum probe voltage of 22.5 Volts AC for ranges 1, 2, and 3 or 29 Volts AC for ranges 4, 5, and 6. The typical liquid resistivity range of the module is 0 to 60 megaOhms per centimeter. The unit has an input voltage of 120/240 Volts AC.
