Time of Flight (Distance) CAN Sensor, with Analog Output

FDQ-3610x is a 4-meter capable, maximum 50 Hz sample rate Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor based on VCSEL and SPAD Array technology. This module is protected by an aluminum enclosure, as well as a special, split-view coverglass to prevent internal reflections from causing erroneous readings from the sensor. The package is IP54 when connected to the proper mating connector, though it has not been independently tested.

FDQ-36102 is a CAN-based module with a connector scheme consistent with the DeviceNet M12-5 connector pinout.

FDQ-36103 is also CAN-based, but includes a 0-5V analog output on Pin 1 of the M12-5 connector.
