CA30FAxxBPxIO - IO-Link
Capacitive Proximity Sensors with IO-Link communication
Benefits
• A complete family. Available in M30 in a robust PFTE
housing with an operation of 2-20 mm flush or 4-30 mm
non-flush.
• Enhanced EMC performance: 4th Generation
TRIPLESHIELDTM
• 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 output IO-Link v 1.1. Electrical
outputs can be configured as PNP / NPN / Push-Pull /
External input, normally open or normally closed.
• Timer functions can be set, such as ON-delay, Off-
delay, and one shots.
• Logging functions: Temperatures, detecting counter,
power cycles and operating hours.
• Detection modes Single point, two point and windows
mode.
• Analogue output: In IO-Link mode the sensor
will generate 16 bit analogue process data output
representing the dielectric value measured by the sensor.
Description
The new generation of CA30FA…IO sensors are
a complete family of high performance capacitive
sensors for detection of most solid or liquid targets
in industrial applications such as Plastic & Rubber,
Agriculture, Food & Beverage and Materials
handling. The 4th Generation of TRIPLESHIELDTM
technology provides increased immunity to
electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially
to frequency drives, and improves immunity to
humidity and dust.
•
The sensor housing has the IP69K rating as well as
approval by ECOLAB for cleaning and disinfection
agents.
On-board IO-Link communication opens up a
variety of functions, such as easy communication
and customization of advanced parameter settings.
Applications
• Detection not only of the level of plastic pellets in plastic moulding machines but also the dielectric value of the pellets to
ensure correct manufacturing.
• Detection not only of the wood pellets in pellet burners but also the density of the wood pellets.
