18mm Capacitive Sensor with IO-Link (SS Housing)
The new generation of CA18EA…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 TRIPLESHIELD™️ 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.
Features
• A complete family. Available in M18 in a robust Stainless Steel AISI316L housing with an operation of 2-10 mm flush or 3-15 mm non-flush.
• Enhanced EMC performance: 4th Generation TRIPLESHIELD™️
• 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, Offdelay, 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.
