Function#
The radar sensor BRS S–M30S04–0301–LA2–000S04 is optimized for measurements in industrial close-range applications and offers a range for object detection of up to 15 m. Its robust, cylindrical M30 housing has proven itself in many industrial sectors.
Interfaces and Parameterization:
- IO-Link: Standardized interface according to IO-Link specification. Allows parameterization of the measurement mode and foreground/background suppression, as well as other parameters.
- Analog: Additional interface for versatile applications.
Operating principle: The sensor operates using the frequency-modulated continuous wave method (FMCW) in the 122-123 GHz ISM band. It emits a continuous radar signal whose frequency is varied. This enables the sensor to reliably detect the distance to static and moving objects.
Performance features:
- High resolution: Up to 1 mm.
- High measurement rate: Up to 1 kHz enables the detection of more than 100,000 objects per hour.
- Low blind zone: Only 300 mm (depending on the target object and environmental conditions).
Typical applications:
- Distance measurement (e.g., diameter of a film roll).
- High-speed close-range object detection (e.g., bottles in filling lines).
- Detection of objects with challenging surfaces (e.g., tires).
Advantages:
- Measurement of distance and close-range object detection.
- Reliable and precise measurements in fast applications.
- Resistant to dust, dirt, moisture, direct light, or darkness.
- IO-Link interface for service and process data as well as parameterization.
- Washdown-capable thanks to IP69K.
- Increased EMC resistance.
- Proven M30 housing design.
- Flexible mounting.

| LED 2 (Indication/Warning/Teach/Device Discovery) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Name | Signal | Meaning |
| Locator | Blue, double blink (2×100 ms on, 100 ms pause), then 600 ms off – 1 s cycle | The function Locator can be activated via a system command to find the device again. |
| Short Circuit Pin 2 / Pin 4 | Red, flashing, 3 Hz | Short circuit at pin 2 or pin 4 |
| Teach-in | Red, static | The device is currently in teach-in mode. |
| Overload | Orange, flashing, 3 Hz | Overload on pin 2 / pin 4 has been detected. |
| Bad Signal Quality | Orange, flashing, 1 Hz | Poor signal quality, the signal quality is below the configured warning threshold. |
| Out of Specification | Yellow, flashing, 3 Hz | The device is operated outside of specifications. The measurement value is unknown due to an error or outside of the measurement range. |
| Function Display | Yellow, static | Switching point is active. |
