Inductive Sensor M30, PNP NO, Flush – PRDL30-15DP
DESCRIPTION
Autonics proximity sensor M30, PNP NO PRDL30-15DP
Shield (flush), Long distance, 15 mm Sensing distance
The Autonics cylindrical inductive sensor PRDL30-15DP features outstanding noise protection and stable sensing performance due to its specialized sensor IC developed by Autonics. This inductive proximity sensor comes in a round cylindrical shape, sensing distance of 15mm, sensing side diameter and housing size of m30 and Shield (flush) installation. The standard cylindrical inductive sensor can be used in diverse applications requiring non-contact detection of metallic objects.
As a quick report, this inductive proximity sensor provides:
- 30 mm sensing side diameter
- PNP Normally Open control output
- 15 mm sensing distance
- Shield (flush) installation
- Spatter-resistant type: PTFE coated for high heat resistance
- Reverse polarity, surge, and over-current protection
- IP67 ingress protection structure according to IEC standards
- Red LED status indicator
- Alternative to micro switches and limit switches.
Body
This Autonics inductive proximity sensor’s case and nut parts are made of nickel-plated brass, its sensing side is made of PBT, and its washer is nickel plated iron made.
The PRDL30-15DP features IP67 ingress protection.
The red LED on its body acts as the process indicator.
Connection
The Autonics proximity sensor PRDL30-15DP features standard cable type connection. This black cable covers the sensor’s 3 wires. It is 5 mm in diameter and 2 meters in length, and is made of PVC.
Sensing specifications
This inductive sensor’s sensing side diameter is 30 mm. The maximum distance that this sensor can detect its standard sensing target, which is a 45x45x1 mm piece of iron, is 15 mm. This so-called sensing distance differs from one sensing target to another, based on their material, size, etc.
Although almost no one talks about the setting distance of an inductive sensor, it is a big deal to know this concept. Every sensor can detect its standard sensing target in a specified range, no matter what changes occur in ambient temperature, voltage fluctuations, etc. This distance, which is called the setting distance, is from 0 to 10.5 mm for this proximity sensor.
Control output
The PRDL30-15DP features PNP Normally Open control output. PNP stands for Positive-Negative-Positive transistors.
