3Product Overview
General
P2L sensors are designed for assembly or picking systems. The sensors simplify the
assembly or picking processes for the workers by leading them. The sensor recognizes
if they reach in the right shelf and gives a signal immediately .
Optic signal:
– A green LED shows from which shelf the next piece should be taken .
–A red LED communicates an error.
Models
There are different models for Pick to Light sensor:
–P2L D003 digital
–P2L D003 ESD digital
–P2L C003 CAN Bus
–P2L C003 ESD CAN Bus
Model 002 is a further development of model 001. The sensors of 002 series allow
advanced settings and an automatized teaching-in process (adaption to the geometry
of the container and fill height).
Version 003 is a further development of versions 002 and 001. The sensors of the 003
series allow advanced settings and a new housing design.
You can read more details about the sensors in the relevant chapter.

5Product Description P2L Sensor
P2L sensors are designed for assembly and picking systems. The sensors simplify the assembly and picking
procedures for the operators, since the light signals lead each operator. The sensor recognizes if the right or the
wrong shelf is reached and signalizes it immediately .
Optical signaling:
– A green LED shows from which shelf the parts should be picked
–A red LED means an error.
The consequences of an error are defined by the customer in the software or the PLC.
Example
Figure 1 shows an error, which is
immediately reported by the red LED. The
green LED lights up on the container, from
where the piece should have been taken
out.

Process Safety
With P2L sensors, a high process safety in assembly and picking operations can be reached. These represent a
great economic advantage, if a lot of parts and product variants are assembled.
The sensor is teachable and can be fit to different container forms and filling heights. The P2L sensor is
optimized for the current set of containers, materials and filling heights.
The sensor is taught during each sensor startup process. An additional teaching signal can be sent by a
button or integrated in the PLC start routine.
The small construction and the small minimal distance (see chapter 7.2) allow very flat racking levels, which
ensure ergonomic deployment architecture with shorts handling ranges.
A removal from a compartment does not have to be confirmed, because the P2L sensor recognizes it
automatically.
For big assembly systems with lots of sensors, the use of P2L sensors with CAN bus is recommended,
because the wiring is less time-consuming: all P2L C003 are wired in series and only one supply line to
the USB-CAN adapter or the PLC is required.
With P2L C003 sensor the LEDs over the CAN Bus can be individually controlled, depending on the
process requirements.

–Keep the sensor away from moisture, since it might lead to corrosion of the electric components in the
casing
–Keep the recommended operating temperature (-10 until +50 °C) and don’t expose the sensor to extreme
temperature differences, since this might lead to dysfunction and shorten the lifetime of the sensor.
– Avoid violent impacts and electric discharges that can damage the P 2L sensor.
– Do not open the casing of a P2L sensor. The device contains high-precision electronic components, which
might be damaged .
For damages resulting from non-compliance with the present instructions, we do not grant any warranty.

Assembly the sensor in the racking levels where the material is stored see chapter 7.
Connect the sensors to the PLC see chapter 8.1.
Turn on the PLC.
The teach-in procedure of container geometry and filling heights runs automatically see chapter 10.
6.2 P2L C003 CAN Bus
With following steps the P2L D003 will be installed and launched:
Set a serial connection between sensors and a connection to the USB-CAN bus adapter see chapter 8.2.1
or the PLC see chapter 8.2.2.
Assembly the sensor in the racking levels where the material is stored see chapter 7.
Set the sensor addresses at the DIP switches see chapter 9.
Open the P2L-Software or turn on the PLC.
The teach-in procedure of container geometry and filling heights runs automatically see chapter 10.
6.3 Available on Request
The process workflow (pick-sequence and reaction by errors) is defined in the USB-CAN bus adapter or the
PLC. A material and assembly workflow manager, the visualization of assembly steps, as well as the saving of
process parameters can be performed by extra PC software.
InSystems Automation GmbH offers a special software for using the CAN bus sensors with the CAN bus
adapter "USB-CAN PLUS ISO" from VSCOM, see chapter 6.3.1.
6.3.1 Pick-2-Light-Software from InSystems for CAN sensors
InSystems Automation offers a user-friendly Pick-2-Light software to configure an assembly assistance system
with P2L sensors without any programming skills. Following the selection of the product, Pick-2-Light software
triggers the Pick-2-Light sensors in the right order and secures a correct process of assembly and
commissioning. The software allows to store and manage any desired assembly recipes.
For more information about the Pick-2-Light software, please visit our website (www.pick-to-light.de).
You are also welcome to contact us by email at [e-mail]
6.4 Settings
Settings at D003 are performed using a DIP switch see chapter 8.1.2 und at C003 using the software or the CAN
bus commands see 11.4.3

6.4.1 LED Brightness
Depending on the working environment and installation (at eye level), the brightness can dazzle and you might
want to dim the lights. You can choose between four brightness levels.
6.4.2 Pick Time
Having small pieces or pieces, which get easily caught (for example coil springs), the pick procedure might take
longer. In this case, the picking time can be extended in the sensor, so that no error message is triggered.
During the selected pick time the green LED of the sensor lights up. If pick time =0ms is selected the green light
is switched off as soon as a pick is registered.
6.4.3 Pick Type
For the P2L sensors with CAN bus can be set two different types for picking (see chapter 11.4.3):
Type 1:
You can reach into the box once, after which the next box is automatically activated (green LED lights up).
Type 2:
One box can be accessed several times. The assembly step does not end until the next box is reached. The
next box is already indicated by the corresponding green LED.
7P2L Sensor Assembly and Coverage Area
P2L sensor is easy to install and can be quickly integrated in existing assembly workplaces.
Customer tailored integration are available on request.
Assembly is done by screwing two screws or brackets on a fitting retaining plate (not included in scope of
delivery). The gripping range must be within the maximum range of 150 mm, optimally at 100 mm.
For a better integration of P2L-sensors in your deployment architecture, CAD data with measurements are
available on our download page, in order for you to find their optimal position.
7.1 Required Tools and Assembly Material
In order to fix a P2L sensor, two M4 screws with a minimal length of 10 Millimeter are needed. For the ESD
variants, two additional external teeth lock washers (DIN 6797) are required.
7.2 P2L Sensor Coverage
Sensor coverage reaches between 20 and 150 mm. Ideal results are reached at a distance between 20 and 100
mm.

7.4.2 Poor Sensor Positioning
Example for
a poor positioning
of P2L sensor
Picture 8: poor sensor position
The sensor just covers a corner of the box. Errors during teach-in and picking procedures may occur.
The sensor range is too far from the box and can supervise only a part of it. The procedure might not be
recognized or the next box might be supervised instead.
Example for
a non-optimized
position of P2L
sensor
Picture 9: Insufficient P2L positioning
The sensor just covers a corner of the box. Errors during teach-in and picking procedures may occur.
7.5 Assembly of ESD Sensors
The P2L ESD sensor is already grounded through the connecting plug. However, we recommend to ground the
housing during the assembly procedure with external teeth lock washers, in order to provide maximal safety.
