Panasonic Fiber Optic Sensors and Sensor Heads allow for stable detection in any application, even for use in hazardous environments. With over 180 Fiber Sensors to choose from, Panasonic's offering covers a variety of key application requirements such as mounting condition, sensing distance, and temperature rating.
The FX-550L Series Digital Fiber Sensor has three times higher emission power and 1.6 times longer sensing range than conventional models. Higher incident light intensity results in more stable detection and easy beam axis adjustment, and IO-Link compatibility makes it possible to monitor, operate, and collect data from the sensor through an IO-Link master.

IO-Link Compatibility
IO-Link technology makes it possible for a host controller (such as a PLC) to continuously monitor, operate, and collect data from the FX-550L through an IO-Link master.
Incorporated High-Level Self-Diagnosis Function
The incorporated self-diagnosis function reports both sensor-level data and state information to the host controller through an IO-Link master, reducing data processing workload and facilitating predictive maintenance.
Higher Emission Power and Longer Sensing Range
With approximately 3x stronger emission and 1.6 times longer sensing range than conventional fiber sensors, the FX-550L offers stable and reliable detection as well as broadened utility in a variety of applications.
Simplified Functions For Improved Ease of Use
The FX-500 Series and newer models come with a simplified functions list and interface for improved ease of use. The MODE NAVI interface utilizes three indicators and a dual display to show the amplifier’s basic operations so that the current operation parameters can be confirmed at a glance.
