Summary of Changes
Updated catalog numbers for IO-Link, added warning information
regarding product range to targets with low reflectivity, and added
missing "3 seconds" callout to the Background Reflection Teach Process
graphic.
Description
The RightSight™ M30 Background Suppression sensor is a time of
flight-based sensor that provides accurate detection regardless of target
reflectivity. Background suppression sensing modes are ideal for
applications where highly reflective backgrounds must be ignored while
helping to detect targets reliably within the specified range.
This family offers a background reflection/foreground suppression
sensing mode that enables operators to use the surface of a background
(for example, a conveyor) as a reflector. The detection of a target occurs
once an object blocks the visual path between the sensor and the
background (for example, conveyor).
Features
• Sensing Ranges
- 400 mm (15.7 in.) and 600 mm (23.6 in.) sensing range models
without physical adjustments,
Page
- 1.2 m (3.94 ft) sensing range with push button teach,
1
- 800 mm (31.5 in.) push button teach background reflection models.

• High powered light source for ease of alignment.
2
• 360° highly visible user interface helps operators verify the

proper operation, regardless of the sensor installation location.
3
• Background suppression performance minimizes false detections

• Dual Auto PNP/NPN helps streamline inventory by reducing the
number of catalog numbers to stock.

the sensor settings.
5
• Embedded IO-Link 1.1 communications protocol.
5
• Adjustable sensing ranges and response time via IO-Link provides
5
additional flexibility to detect targets at longer or shorter
distances depending on the application requirements.
• IP67 and IP69K rated enclosure.
