Schneider Electric XU2N18PP341D Photoelectric Sensor

The Schneider Electric / Telemecanique Sensors XU2N18PP341D photoelectric sensor is a through-beam infrared device in a cylindrical M18 housing designed for non-contact detection of objects in industrial automation. Operating from 12–24 V DC with a 3‑wire PNP output and a programmable contact (1 NO or 1 NC), it uses a 4‑pin M12 connector, and its IP67-rated stainless steel 304 housing with a PMMA lens stands up to harsh environments while delivering a 15 m sensing distance, 500 Hz switching frequency, and a 1 ms response time. Commonly used on packaging machines, conveyor lines, food-processing equipment, and automated handling systems to detect presence and position of workpieces, it supports repair, replacement, retrofit, or new equipment integration by maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators. Common replacements include XU2N18PP341L2, XU5N18PP340W, and XU2M18PP340D.
