New generation inductive proximity sensors with IO-Link communication
Description
The new generation ICB series is a complete
family of high performance inductive sensors for
contactless and wear free detection of metallic
objects in industrial automation applications, such
as packaging, materials handling and machine
tools. The advanced electronics is enclosed in a
robust nickel-plated brass housing. It is available
in three diameters: M12, M18 and M30 with an
extended sensing distance range between 4 and
22 mm.
On-board IO-Link communication opens up many
possibilities, such as easy conguration and set-
up of the devices and advanced parameter setting.
Benets
• A complete family. Available in M12, M18 and M30
robust nickel-plated brass housings with an operating
distance of 4 to 22 mm.
• Less machine downtime. Lower risk of mechanical
damage thanks to the extended operating distance.
• Easy to install. ICB sensors have a milled section for
wrench grip and two dierent thread lengths. The user
can choose between 2 m PVC cable and M12-disconnect
plug versions.
• High precision. The onboard advanced microcontroller
ensures better stability with respect to environmental
inuences, with highly reliable repeatable measurements
between -25 and +70°C.
• Easy customization to specic OEM requests:
dierent cable lengths and materials, special labelling,
customized pig-tail solutions with special cables and
connectors are possible on request.
• The output can be operated either as a switching output
or in IO-Link mode.
• Fully congurable via IO-Link v1.1. Electrical outputs
can be congured as PNP/NPN/Push-pull, normally
open or normally closed.
• Timer functions can be set, such as switch-on and
switch-o delay
• Adjustable sensing distance and hysteresis: sensing
distance can be set to 33%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the
maximum sensing distance
• Temperature monitoring: over or under-run temperature
alarms can be set
•
Applications
• Non contact detection of metal objects in general position-sensing and presence-sensing in industrial applications
• Particularly suitable for rotational speed monitoring thanks to the high operating frequency
