CA18EAxxBPxIO - IO-Link Capacitive Proximity Sensors with IO-Link communication Benefits 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. th Enhanced EMC performance: 4 Generation TM 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, Off- delay, and one shots. Logging functions: Temperatures, detecting counter, power cycles and operating hours. Detection modes Single point, two point and windows mode. Description Analogue output: In IO-Link mode the sensor will generate 16 bit analogue process data output The new generation of CA18EAIO sensors are representing the dielectric value measured by the sensor. 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 th TM handling. The 4 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. 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. 10/11/2020 CA18EAxxBPxIO ENG Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S 1CA18EAxxBPxIO - IO-Link Main functions The sensor can be operated in IO-Link mode once connected to an IO-Link master or in standard I/O mode.
