Banner Engineering offers a variety of automation and control equipment such as sensors, light curtains, and power products. One such option is their R55FVQ, a fiber optic sensor. We’ve had some questions on the differences between this base model and some options with extended five-digit suffixes available on our website. What do these suffixes mean, and how can one tell what changes?
The five-digit suffixes denote custom modified configurations originally created for specific customers. Unfortunately there’s no easy way to tell what any given suffix’s customization entails. You can search for these suffixes on Banner’s website and examine their product documentation to search for differences, but in general: if your project calls for a version of this sensor with a five-digit suffix, the base model will not drop in for your custom model.
