In summary, this sensor provides a positive (+) DC output when it detects a metal object. The output of the sensor is normally open (NO) and has a PNP type output.

- Furthermore, PNP sensors can easily be connected to a microcontroller or PLC by using a suitable voltage regulator, as their output is "only positive".
However, proper installation and operation of PNP sensors require an understanding of the characteristics required for the application, such as correct supply voltage, output type, and sensing distance. (PNP vs NPN)

The required features of an inductive sensor will depend on the application in which the sensor is being used. However, generally speaking, the features that should be looked for in an inductive sensor include:

 Detection type: Inductive sensors can only detect metal objects. Therefore, they should be used only in applications where metal detection is necessary.

 Detection range: The detection range is the distance at which the sensor can detect an object. The detection range may vary depending on the type and size of the sensor. It is important to select the correct detection range for the application.

 Output type: Inductive sensors can have either PNP or NPN output types. In addition, they can have either normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) outputs. It is important to select the correct output type for the application.

 Supply voltage: Inductive sensors typically operate on DC supply voltage. It is important to use the correct supply voltage for the sensor. Available in our 220v 2-wire sensors.

 Detection speed: The detection speed of the inductive sensor determines how quickly the sensor responds when an object is detected. In some applications, fast detection is required, so it is important to select the correct detection speed.

 Sensor body type: Inductive sensors can be cylindrical, square, or cylindrical-square. It is important to select the correct body type for the application.

 Mounting type: Inductive sensors can be connected with a cable or a connector. It is important to select the correct mounting type for the application.

Important note: This sensor can operate in temperatures ranging from -25 to +70 degrees Celsius. It also has an IP67 protection class, making it suitable for use in environments with oil, mud, and water, as well as resistant to external factors. Additionally, it has a fast response time at a frequency of 2Khz and an anti-interference feature to minimize incorrect signals caused by external interference. Designed for industrial environments, it can be used in machines with high levels of interference, such as speed control devices and motors. It can be connected to DC relays without using a diode or a contactor (24DC) and is suitable for use with counters and PLC inputs. Please do not confuse this product with economic series sensors. The sensor comes with a 1-year warranty.
