wenglor Presents P1XD Fiber-Optic Amplifier for Small Space Applications
The P1XD2 series models also offer the option of operating a fiber-optic amplifier as a stand-alone unit or in a multi-unit network as a master or sub-unit.

Wenglor’s P1XD fiber-optic amplifiers offer compact, flexible design, easy integration, tool-free setup, modular compatibility, and intuitive configuration via NFC, app, or display.
The dynamic readjustment of the P1XD series fiber-optic amplifiers ensures that the set switching distance is maintained. Contamination does not affect the performance of the optical fiber sensors. Thanks to the integrated jump detection, there is no need to learn about the environment, as signal jumps are reliably detected. The display supports intuitive operation. Low bending radius due to high-flex fiber optic cables, flexible mounting options and a comprehensive portfolio of sensor heads make fiber-optic sensors ideal for tight spaces. Pink Light Mode and Intelligent Multi-Unit Operation with the P1XD2 Series Some variants of the P1XD series offer a significant increase in light output with the innovative pink light mode. The parallel connection of the red and blue emitter diodes increases the range.
Pink light mode can be activated by pressing a button, IO-Link or NFC
The P1XD2 series models also offer the option of operating a fiber-optic amplifier as a stand-alone unit or in a multi-unit network as a master or sub-unit. During the boot process, the light guide sensor automatically detects which operation it is in and organizes the individual sensor units independently. This significantly reduces installation effort and minimizes error susceptibility. If requirements change, the fiber-optic sensors can be unplugged and used as stand-alone devices. The system therefore remains flexible at all times.
The Highlights at a Glance:
- Easy configuration using display, NFC or via IO-Link
- Can be used in scanning, through-beam or retro-reflex principle
- Suitable for tight spaces, high temperatures and detection of smallest parts
- Innovative pink light mode to increase range
- Flexible use as a stand-alone unit or in a multi-unit combination
- Integrated IO-Link interface
