Autonics Dual Digital Display Fiber Optic Amplifier BF5 Series

The Fiber Optic Amplifier for Industrial automation

The Autonics BF5 series fiber optic amplifiers are available in single and dual display models. The units feature 5 different response speed settings, for flexible and reliable detection of fast moving targets or small objects. With integrated mutual interference prevention, reliable detection is possible with multiple units (up to 8 units) with connection using side connectors. Other features include saturation prevention function, inverted display, and simple sensitivity adjustment settings. Red, green, and blue LED light source models are available for diverse applications.

Dual Digital Display

With the dual digital display screen, users can easily identify the present value (PV) and set value (SV)

High-Speed Response Rate of 50㎲ in Ultra-Fast Mode

These sensors which are manufactured by Autonics company, feature 5 different response speeds : Ultra-fast mode (50㎲), fast mode (150㎲), standard mode (500㎲), long-distance mode (4ms), ultra-long-distance mode (10ms)

Saturation Prevention Function

When detecting transparent objects or if the target moves out of position, the received light intensity may increase. The saturation prevention function prevents errors from light saturation by adjusting to the difference in the received light.

Red, Green, Blue LED Light Sources Available

Depending on the color of the target object or ambient lighting conditions, users can choose between red, green, and blue LED light source models for precise and accurate detection

Durable and Reliable

Long term stability without diode deterioration and minimal influence from temperature changes

Various Sensitivity Setting Modes

Depending on the environment, users can choose between auto-tuning, one-point teaching (maximum sensitivity), two-point teaching, and position teaching modes.

Simple Sensitivity Adjustment

Mutual Interference Prevention and auto Channel Setting

Mutual interference prevention allows adjacent installation (up to 8 units) using side connectors. When power is supplied, the connected units are automatically assigned to different channels.

Communication with PCs, PLCs with BFC Communication Converters

The BFC series communication converters can be connected to the BF5 series amplifiers with the side connectors. The communication converters allow users to remotely monitor and configure parameters from external devices such as PCs or PLCs.
