The RCWL-0516 is a small and compact microwave motion sensor based on the Doppler effect.

Overview

The RCWL-0516 is particularly suitable as an alternative to using a PIR motion sensor.
When it detects a moving object, the output changes from a low logic level to a high level (3.3 volts). Appropriately interfaced (Arduino, Fishino or other), it can be used for the automatic opening of electric doors and gates, automatic lighting.

Detection range is about 9 meters.


Tech specs

  • Power supply: from 4 volts to 28 volts
  • Consumption: typical 2.8 mA; max. 3 mA
  • Detection distance: from 5 to 9 meters
  • Transmission power: typical 20 mW; max. 30 mW
  • Output voltage and current: 3.2-3.4 volts - 100 mA
  • Operating temperature: from -20°C to +80°C
  • Pin definition: 3V3: 3.3 volt output voltage
  • GND: negative power supply
  • OUT: when it detects a moving object, it changes from a low level to a high level (3.3 volts)
  • VIN: positive power supply from 4 volts to 28 volts
  • CDS: if kept low, less than 0.7 volts, the output will always be low even in the presence of motion

… and equipment status from anywhere with an Internet connection. Additionally, the Arduino Opta WiFi is equipped with RS485 communication capabilities, enabling seamless integration with an external power meter – in our case, a Finder model. This provides valuable insights into energy consumption, production output, material usage, and equipment health. The collected data is then analyzed through dedicated dashboards, offering information about operational efficiency and potential issues. By leveraging this data, businesses can proactively schedule maintenance and repairs, minimizing downtime and optimizing production processes. Retrofitting for a connected future Many businesses today can retrofit existing machinery to embrace the benefits of connectivity and automation. Our demo provides a practical example of how common industrial equipment can become smarter, more efficient, and easier to manage. From remote monitoring and control to power metering and predictive maintenance, retrofitting offers a sustainable way to modernize industrial infrastructure. Unlocking potential across industries Moreover, the versatility of Arduino’s open-source ecosystem ensures that this solution can be adapted and applied to a wide range of existing machines and equipment, enhancing their operation effectively – whether in manufacturing, logistics, or any other industry relying on machinery. To learn more about how you can leverage Arduino technology to upgrade your infrastructure and achieve tangible results, contact us today. Let us help you unlock the full potential of your industrial assets with practical, cost-effective solutions.
