Carlo Gavazzi Proximity Sensor Inductive IO-Link M18 Long Housing ICB18L50F08M1IO

Carlo Gavazzi Proximity Sensor Inductive IO-Link, M18 Nickel-Plated Brass Long Body, 8mm Flush, NPN/PNP/Push-pull, NO/NC, M12 Plug, 10-36Vdc.

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 configuration and setup of the devices and advanced parameter setting.

Application

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.

Benefits

• 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 different 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 influences, with highly reliable repeatable measurements between -25 and +70°C.
• Easy customization to specific OEM requests: different 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 configurable via IO-Link v1.1. Electrical outputs can be configured as PNP/NPN/Push-pull, normally open or normally closed.
• Timer functions can be set, such as switch-on and switch-off 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.
