Carlo Gavazzi’s three new series of M12 Capacitive Sensors with IO-Link Communications are based on their 4th generation TRIPLESHIELD™ sensors. These CA12 Series Sensors represent the ideal solution for industrial automation equipment in applications where sensing performance must be continuously and accurately monitored and logged. In addition to the full range of technical features provided by their capacitive sensor families, the IO-Link communication allows additional advanced data, such as: QoR (Quality of Run), QoT (Quality of Teach), temperature and dust alarms, and diagnostic parameters. With this information, predictive maintenance can be scheduled before sensors fail which increases uptime.
FEATURES:
- Three housing options: PBT for less challenging environments, AISI316L stainless steel for strength, and PEEK offering a smooth surface to reduce accumulation of dust or liquids.
- Easily configurable functions via IO-Link v1.1.
- Temperature and dust alarm outputs both with adjustable setpoints.
- Selectable sensing distance and hysteresis.
- Sensing mode: single point, two point, and window modes.
- Logic functions: AND, OR XOR, and Gated SR/FF.
- Timer functions: ON, OFF, and One Shot.
- Configurable output/input: NPN, PNP, Push-Pull, and external input.
- Logging functions: temperatures, operational hours, power cycles, configuration changes.
