CONFIGURABLE AREA DETECTION
Flexible 2D Area Detection Without Complex Data Processing
The YB27 combines 270° laser scanning, configurable detection zones and direct switching outputs in one compact sensor.
Instead of requiring an external controller to process raw LiDAR data for basic object detection, the YB27 can monitor predefined areas and directly output detection signals to a PLC or machine controller.
It is well suited for obstacle detection, machine area monitoring and mobile equipment applications where simple and efficient area-based detection is required.
Configurable Zones
Define detection areas according to the actual application.
Direct PLC Output
Send detection status directly to the machine controller.
PNP / NPN
Configurable output logic for different industrial control systems.
Compact IP65 Design
52 × 52 × 70 mm housing for easy machine integration.
HOW IT WORKS
From 2D Scanning to Direct Control
Define the detection area, monitor objects in real time, and send switching signals directly to the connected controller.
01
Scan the Area
The YB27 continuously scans a 270° two-dimensional field around the sensor.
→
02
Configure the Zone
Define detection areas with the required size and shape using the configuration software.
→
03
Detect the Object
The LiDAR monitors whether an object enters the configured detection area.
→
04
Output the Signal
A configurable PNP or NPN switching signal is sent directly to the PLC or machine controller.
Simple detection logic. Direct controller integration.
For basic area-detection applications, object detection can be handled directly by the LiDAR without requiring external point-cloud processing.
MULTI-ZONE SWITCHING OUTPUT
Three Independent Switching Outputs
Monitor multiple detection areas and send independent switching signals to the connected PLC or machine controller.
ZONE 1
ZONE 2
ZONE 3
Configurable detection zones can be assigned to independent switching outputs.
OUTPUT 1
Detection Zone 1
Provides an independent switching signal when an object is detected in the configured Zone 1 area.
OUTPUT 2
Detection Zone 2
Provides a separate output signal for the second configured detection area.
OUTPUT 3
Detection Zone 3
Allows another detection area to trigger its own independent control response.
PNP / NPN Configurable
Output logic can be configured to match different PLC and industrial controller input types.

What is the YB27 2D LiDAR used for?
The YB27 is designed for obstacle detection, object detection, presence detection and configurable area monitoring in industrial automation applications.
Is the YB27 a safety laser scanner?
No. The YB27 is an industrial 2D LiDAR for object detection and machine-control applications. It is not a safety-rated laser scanner. For personnel protection or other safety-related applications, a certified safety laser scanner should be used.
How many switching outputs does the YB27 provide?
The YB27 provides three independent switching outputs that can be used with configured detection zones.
Does the YB27 support PNP and NPN output?
Yes. The switching-output logic can be configured as PNP or NPN to match different PLC and machine-controller input configurations.
How many detection-zone groups can be configured?
Up to 16 detection-zone groups can be selected through four external input signals: INPUT1, INPUT2, INPUT3 and INPUT4.
Can the detection-zone shape be customized?
Yes. Detection areas can be configured through the YB27 configuration software to match different machine layouts, vehicle directions and monitoring requirements.
Can the YB27 output raw LiDAR data?
Selected D models support Ethernet UDP LiDAR data output while retaining the configurable detection-zone and switching-output functions.
How do I choose between an S model and a D model?
Choose an S model when you mainly need configurable detection zones and direct PNP/NPN switching output. Choose a D model when you need the same switching-output functions together with Ethernet LiDAR measurement data.
