RS PRO Threaded Barrel Capacitive Proximity Sensor, M30 IO-Link 40V 16 mm 240 V ac 40 V dc

RS PRO Capacitive Proximity Sensor

Introducing the range of RS PRO Capacitive Proximity Sensors with IO-Link Communication. These versatile and high-quality sensors are an essential addition to any environment where measurement of attributes like pressure, thickness, etc. are integral to business operations, like manufacturing plants and industrial environments. The 4th generation of TRIPLESHIELD™ technology provides increased immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially to frequency drives, and improves immunity to humidity and dust. With the RS PRO seal of approval, you are guaranteed a premium performance product, without the premium product price tag.

Features and Benefits:

• This capacitive sensor is a high-performance sensor for detection of most solid or liquid targets in industrial applications such as plastics and rubber, agriculture, food and beverage and materials handling
• The sensor can be operated in IO-Link mode once connected to an IO-Link master or in standard I/O mode and offers a variety of adjustable parameters via the IO-Link interface
• It also has the ability to detect various media via non-metallic containers and provide reliable and accurate liquid level detection
• Provides a lower-cost solution for proximity sensor needs whilst featuring good resolution, stability, high speed and low power usage
• Each sensor has a simple in construction and is adjustable, while the sensor housing has an IP69K rating as well as approval by ECOLAB for cleaning and disinfection agents
• They can be used for the measurement of force, pressure and humidity, etc. and they have a higher sensitivity and can be operational with small magnitude of force
• Capacitive proximity sensing offers increased usability, improved industrial design, and increased functionality with many different consumer applications

Applications:

• A capacitive proximity sensor is a non-contact device that is able to detect the presence or absence of virtually any object regardless of material. The sensors do this by using the electrical property of capacitance and the change of capacitance based on a change in the electrical field around the active face of the sensor.
• These sensors are especially useful for level sensing in production or laboratory environments where certain attributes need to be monitored for effective working and for the guarantee of quality, like measuring pressure, flow, thickness, liquid level and so much more.
