The Banner M18TUP14Q is a non-contact infrared temperature sensor from the M18T Series T-GAGE designed for accurate surface temperature monitoring in industrial automation applications. It uses a Germanium lens for precise infrared sensing and is ideal for detecting temperature on moving, hard-to-reach, or hazardous targets without physical contact.

This model features an analog 0–10 V DC output along with a PNP alarm output, allowing real-time monitoring and over-temperature alarm signaling. It includes remote teach capability and push-button adjustment for quick setup and calibration.

Built with a rugged stainless steel M18 threaded barrel housing, the sensor offers IP67 protection and NEMA 4X rating, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. It operates on 12–30 V DC, includes a 5-pin M12 integral quick disconnect, and supports a working temperature range of -20°C to +70°C. Banner officially lists it as a released product for reliable industrial temperature sensing and machine monitoring applications.

The Banner Q26PLUMQ5 is a compact Q26 Series luminescence sensor designed for reliable detection of fluorescent marks, invisible inks, adhesives, labels, and luminescent materials in industrial automation applications. It is commonly used in packaging, printing, pharmaceutical, food processing, and labeling systems where precise fluorescent target detection is required.

This model uses a black ultraviolet LED sensing beam (375 nm wavelength) to detect luminescent objects and markings that are difficult to identify using standard photoelectric sensors. It offers a sensing range of 10 mm to 30 mm with a precise 1 mm beam spot size at 12 mm, ensuring accurate target recognition even in compact spaces.

The sensor provides a PNP output with Light Operate / Dark Operate modes and an ultra-fast 0.25 ms response time, making it suitable for high-speed production lines. It includes a Teach Button and Remote Teach function for quick setup and easy sensitivity adjustment.

The Banner T30UXDC is a T30UX Series temperature-compensated ultrasonic sensor designed for reliable object detection, distance sensing, and level monitoring in industrial automation applications. It uses time-of-flight ultrasonic sensing technology, making it ideal for detecting clear objects, irregular surfaces, and targets where photoelectric sensors may be less effective.

This model offers a sensing range of 300 mm to 3000 mm (3 meters) and operates on 10–30 V DC power supply. It features 1 configurable discrete output with selectable NPN / PNP and NO / NC operation, providing flexible integration into control systems. The built-in Teach Button and Remote Teach function allow quick setup and easy field adjustment.

Constructed with a durable M30 threaded barrel housing made from PBT material, the sensor provides IP67 protection and NEMA 4X rating, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. It comes with a 2-meter flying lead cable, supports operation from -40°C to +70°C, and delivers stable performance with temperature compensation for improved sensing accuracy. Banner officially lists it as a released product in the U-GAGE T30UX ultrasonic sensor family.

The Allen-Bradley 1734-IR2/C is a POINT I/O 2-channel RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) and resistance input module designed for precise temperature measurement and resistance monitoring in industrial automation systems. It is commonly used in process control, manufacturing plants, HVAC systems, and machine monitoring applications where accurate temperature sensing is critical.

This module supports two single-ended, non-isolated RTD input channels, allowing direct connection to various RTD sensor types including Pt100, Pt200, Cu10, Ni100, and Ni120, along with direct resistance inputs from 0 to 600 Ω. It provides high-accuracy measurement with 16-bit resolution, delivering approximately 0.03°C/count for Pt385 sensors at 25°C and an absolute accuracy of ±0.1% full scale.
