More Information

Overview Manuals Optical Setup Output Wiring Migration Review Applications

Features:

  • Diffuse detection: The sensor uses reflected infrared light without a separate reflector.
  • NPN switching: Normally-open output logic must match the controller input and common reference.
  • Migration boundary: The OEM-named alternative still requires application-level revalidation.
BOS0116 is a compact cabled photoelectric sensor for general object detection.

Its 900 mm rating is tied to the documented reference object, so production-target remission remains decisive.

Because the model is canceled, replacement work should preserve a measured baseline before testing the OEM alternative.

Apter Power can help confirm the Balluff BOS0116 BOS 5K Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor and the documented application details before quotation.

  • Real target: Set sensitivity with the darkest and smallest production object.
  • Background: Keep reflective machine surfaces outside the effective return path.
  • Mounting angle: Adjust orientation when glossy targets return unstable light.
  • Lens care: Clean the sensing face before changing the potentiometer.
  • NPN input: Confirm the PLC input is designed for a sinking output.
  • Common reference: Verify the sensor and controller share the required 0 V reference.
  • Cable record: Trace the three conductors before replacing the fixed 2 m cable sensor.
  • Load boundary: Check the connected input rather than testing the output against an unknown load.
  • Baseline capture: Record sensing distance, target, mounting and input behavior before removal.
  • Alternative check: Compare BOS02A0 mechanically, optically and electrically before acceptance.
  • Bracket fit: Confirm hole positions and available adjustment in the existing machine.
  • Production proof: Test every relevant target and background condition after migration.
  • Part presence: Detects objects at assembly and transfer positions after remission validation.
  • Package passage: Provides a discrete signal for products moving through a fixed sensing point.
  • Fixture loading: Confirms a workpiece reaches a known nest without contact.
  • Legacy replacement: Supports documented BOS0116 positions while a migration plan is evaluated.
Description
Object presence is detected by BOS0116 through energetic diffuse sensing, so the target’s own reflected infrared light determines the switching result. This gives the sensor a compact one-sided detection arrangement without a separate reflector.

With an NPN normally-open output, BOS0116 must be paired with a controller input that uses the same logic and common reference. The electrical choice directly affects whether a valid optical detection becomes a usable machine signal.

For a legacy position using BOS0116, a measured baseline of target distance, orientation and switching behavior gives any migration a concrete acceptance reference and protects the established detection function against the least favorable production target.
Alternative Names
BOS 5K-NS-ID10-02
Technical notes
Commission BOS0116 with the least reflective real target at the farthest required position, not only the reference card. Confirm the controller accepts an NPN normally-open signal and the 10 to 30 VDC supply. When evaluating BOS02A0, compare cable, mounting, envelope, optical response and switching logic before changing the machine.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
BOS0116 detects a light carton but misses a dark one at the same distance. What should be checked?
Check target reflectivity, sensor alignment and the adjusted sensing margin under the real background and ambient-light conditions.
The BOS0116 indicator changes but the PLC input does not. Where should diagnosis continue?
Verify the NPN normally-open output wiring, supply reference and input circuit before changing the optical adjustment.
Can BOS02A0 replace BOS0116 without application checks because Balluff recommends it?
No. Validate mounting, sensing range, light behavior, output logic, cable connection and response in the actual machine.
A shiny guard causes intermittent BOS0116 switching behind the intended target. What should be adjusted first?
Correct sensor angle, background geometry and sensitivity using representative targets before changing the controller logic.
What baseline should be captured before migrating away from BOS0116?
Record mounting position, target distance and reflectivity, background, supply, NPN input behavior, cable route and machine timing.
A stock sensor has the same BOS family marking as BOS0116 but a different output. Is that enough for an outage substitution?
No. Require the exact electrical output, supply, sensing method, range and connection to match the machine circuit.
