1. More powerful sensor controller, allowing Gocator-based solutions to run faster than before, at a
lower overall temperature.
2. Twice the sensitivity of previous generations and effectively lower laser classifications (from 3B to 3R
in some cases, and from 3R to 2 in many cases). This lets you scan darker targets at higher speeds
without the safety considerations of class 3B lasers.
3. The A and B versions of Gocator 2100 and 2300 sensors can run the latest versions of firmware, but
they do not support the new tools and PROFINET output protocol available in these versions. You
can however use these features if you accelerate the sensors using the PC-based Gocator accelerator.
For more information on the accelerator, see Gocator Acceleration on page 450.
