Additional Information
Rockwell Automation announces that as of March 2016, specific 42EF RightSight polarized retro-reflective, diffuse, and transmitted beam sensor models are discontinued and no longer for sale.
To support your transition, we recommend that you migrate to our enhanced 42EF Series D sensors. The 42EF Series D sensors offer IO-Link 1.1 protocol which provides users with additional sensor diagnostics when connected to an IO-Link master.
