K50R Radar Sensor with IO-Link

The K50R Radar Sensor is now available with IO-Link—adding simplified device replacement, reduced wiring, and remote configurability to the existing benefits of Banner’s go-to alternative to long-range ultrasonic sensors. Its radar technology enables reliable object detection and distance measurement even in challenging indoor and outdoor conditions, and it can penetrate plastic housings without sacrificing accuracy. From vehicle detection at dock bays to tank level measurement of solids and fluids, the K50R with IO-Link—when connected to an IO-Link master such as the DXMR90 Series—delivers real-time data to a PLC, HMI, SCADA system, or cloud platform, enabling easier commissioning, centralized diagnostics, and actionable insight into equipment status, usage patterns, and process trends.
