1. 主要パラメータの比較

2. Detailed Difference: Output Function

WTB12-3P2431 (4-ピン, 相補出力)

4-wire output: 2 independent PNP signals (Q1 normally open + Q2 normally closed)

ピン 1 (BN): +V, ピン 2 (WH): Q1, ピン 3 (これ): Q2, ピン 4 (BK): 0V

アドバンテージ: One signal for control, one for monitoring/feedback, suitable for safety circuits and dual-signal systems

WTB12-3P2430 (4-ピン, single output)

3-wire active: のみ 1 PNP normally open (Q); ピン 3 (これ) not connected / non-functional

ピン 1 (BN): +V, ピン 2 (WH): Q, ピン 3 (これ): ノースカロライナ州, ピン 4 (BK): 0V

位置決め: 遺産 / simplified version, basic detection only, no complementary signal

4. セレクションガイド

選ぶ 31 (1041411):

Requires dual signal / 冗長性 / ステータスフィードバック

New designs, standard projects, best compatibility

選ぶ 30 (1041410):

Direct replacement for legacy equipment (original 30 モデル)

Only requires single switching signal, cost-saving and simplified wiring

結論: WTB12-3P2431 is the upgraded/standard version of 30. The core difference is complementary output; all other specifications are fully interchangeable (only wiring differs).

1. Key Parameter Comparison Table

2. Key Difference Analysis

2.1 WTB12-3P2431 vs WTB12-3N2431

Only difference: 出力極性

3P2431: PNP出力 (active high, load connected to negative)

3N2431: NPN出力 (active low, load connected to positive)

同一: 検出距離, バックグラウンド抑制, optical / mechanical / 電気パラメータ

2.2 WTB12-3P2431 vs WTF12-3P2431

Core differences: Suppression logic + 距離 + light spot

バックグラウンド抑制 (WTB): Ignores distant background, detects only nearby objects → ideal for anti-background interference

Foreground Suppression (WTF): Ignores nearby objects, detects only distant targets → ideal for thin/small/transparent objects, anti-close false triggering

Distance: WTB 350 mm / WTF 175 mm

Light spot: WTB Ø6 mm / WTF Ø2 mm (finer)

3. セレクションガイド

Choose WTB12-3P2431:

Standard PNP systems, requires background suppression, sensing distance ≤ 350 mm

Choose WTB12-3N2431:

NPN systems, other requirements same as above (direct replacement for 3P2431)

Choose WTF12-3P2431:

Detection of thin/small/transparent parts (例えば, films, labels, thin sheets)

Needs to ignore close-range interference, detect only distant targets

Sensing distance ≤ 175 mm, requires fine light spot
