2 Product features
The OLS20 line guidance sensor is an opto-electronic sensor which detects the line
center point of up to three luminescent tracks. To do so, the sensor stimulates the
guide track(s) with blue light / UV radiation and detects the remitted light using a
receiver array.
This track is typically conventional adhesive tape or a colorful luminescence track. It is
not necessary to teach in the sensor.
For additional information on the adhesive tape and bar code labels recommended by
SICK, see the product accessories at www.sick.com/ols20.

In addition, the sensor reads 1D codes in “interleaved 2/5” format attached perpendic‐
ular to the track.

1.1 Installation requirements
NOTICE
Radio interference may occur when the sensor is used in residential areas.
Only use the device in industrial environments (EN 61000-6-4).
■Typical space requirements for sensor, see "Structural design", page 35.
■Comply with technical parameters such as the permitted ambient conditions for
the operation of the sensor (e.g., temperature range, EM interference), see "Ambi‐
ent conditions", page 35.

Electrical installation
1 Safety
1.1 Notes on electrical installation
CAUTION
Danger due to incorrect supply voltage!
An incorrect supply voltage may result in injuries from electric shocks and/or damage to
the device.
■Only operate the sensor with safety/protective extra-low voltage (SELV/PELV).
NOTICE
Sensor damage or unpredictable operation due to working with live parts.
Working with live parts may result in unpredictable operation.
■Only carry out wiring work when the power is off.
■Only connect and disconnect electrical connections when the power is off.
■The electrical installation must only be performed by electrically qualified person‐
nel.
■Standard safety requirements must be observed when working on electrical
systems!
■Only switch on the supply voltage for the device when the connection tasks have
been completed and the wiring has been thoroughly checked.
■When using extension cables with open ends, ensure that bare wire ends do not
come into contact with each other (risk of short-circuit when supply voltage is
switched on!). Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other.
■Wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the user’s power system must be
designed in accordance with the applicable standards. When this is being done in
Germany, observe the following standards: DIN VDE 0100 (Part 430) and DIN VDE
0298 (Part 4) and/or DIN VDE 0891 (Part 1).
■Electrical circuits connected to the device must be configured as SELV circuits
(SELV = safety extra-low voltage/PELV = protective extra-low voltage).
■Protect the device with a separate fuse at the start of the supply circuit.
A shielded cable is not required in order to adhere to the electromagnetic compatibility
guidelines specified by DIN EN 60947-5-2. It is recommended, however, especially
when working with longer connecting cables.
The IP enclosure rating for the sensor is only achieved if the connected cable is
completely screwed in.
CAUTION
This is a class A product. In a household environment, this device can cause radio
interference. The user should take appropriate measures as required.

Please observe the following wiring notes:
■During installation, pay attention to the different cable groups. The cables are
grouped into the following four groups according to their sensitivity to interference
or radiated emissions:
°Group 1: Cables very sensitive to interference, such as analog measuring
cables
°Group 2: Cables sensitive to interference, such as sensor cables, communi‐
cation signals, bus signals
°Group 3: Cables which are a source of interference, such as control cables
for inductive loads, motor brakes
°Group 4: Cables which are powerful sources of interference, such as out‐
put cables from frequency inverters, welding system power supplies, power
cables
bCables in groups 1, 2 and 3, 4 must be crossed at right angles, see figure 5.
bCables in groups 1, 2 and 3, 4 must be routed in different cable channels or
metallic separators must be used, see figure 6 and see figure 7. This applies
particularly where cables of devices with a high level of radiated emission,
such as frequency converters, are laid parallel to sensor cables.

3 Connecting the supply voltage
The sensor must be connected to a voltage supply with the following properties:
•Supply voltage DC 18V ... 30V (stabilized safety extra-low voltage (SELV/PELV) as
per current standard EN60950-1)
•Electricity source with at least 3W power
Protecting the supply cables
To ensure protection against short-circuits/overload in the customer’s supply cables,
the wire cross-sections used must be appropriately selected and protected.
The following standards must be observed in Germany:
•DIN VDE 0100 (part 430)
•DIN VDE 0298 (part 4) and/or DIN VDE 0891 (part 1)
Electrical connection of OLS20
•Ensure the voltage supply is not connected.
•Turn the swivel connector into the desired position.
•Connect the sensor according to the connection diagram.

Commissioning
1 Overview of commissioning steps
■Connect the voltage supply.
■Commission the sensor using the factory settings.
■Configure the sensor.
2 Commissioning the sensor for the first time
NOTICE PUSHBUTTON DAMAGE DUE TO IMPROPER HANDLING!
Improper handling of the pushbuttons can damage them. This will make operation
difficult or impossible.
For this reason:
•Only operate the pushbuttons with your fingers or a suitable pointing device.
•Do not operate the pushbuttons using sharp or hard objects.
Establish voltage supply: When the sensor voltage supply is correct, the green “PWR”
LED lights up.
If at least one track is detected, switching output Q1 is “active” and the yellow “Q” LED
lights up.
3 First step to commissioning with CANopen
3.1 Setting the ID and baud rate
The following conditions must be met for communication with the CAN master:
•A correct node ID must be set on the OLS20.
Correct is:
°A node ID which is free in the CANopen network
°A node ID which the master expects
•The same baud rate must be set in the OLS20 as in the master.
The following parameters are factory set on the OLS20:
•Node ID: 10
•Baud rate: 125kbit/s
The following communication parameters can be allocated to the OLS20:
•Node ID: 1 to 127 (0 is generally assigned to the master)
•Baud rate: 10kbit/s, 20kbit/s, 50kbit/s, 125kbit/s, 250kbit/s, 500kbit/s,
1,000kbit/s
The sensor supports the configuration with LSS with a CANopen master.
The node ID and baud rate can also be set using the SOPASET configuration software,
which can be downloaded at: www.sick.com/SOPAS.
3.2 Process data objects (PDOs)
The OLS20 supports two transmit PDOs and no receive PDO.
Objects 0x1800 and 0x1801 contain the communication parameters.
