Benefits introduce In Detail

Analog Output Proximity Switch

The ifm efector series of inductive proximity switches includes models with analog output, including 4-20 mA and 0-10 V output versions in 12, 18, and 30 mm diameter bodies. Depending on the model, the linearity tolerance of these proximity switches is ±1% or ±3%.

Linearity describes the degree of fit between the actual analog output of the proximity switch and the straight line drawn from the starting point (s_min) to the end point (s_max) of the sensing range.

LED Indication

The analog proximity switch contains one yellow LED. This LED is on when the target is within the specified operating range and flashes when the target is not present or not within the operating range. For example, a 30 mm proximity switch has an operating range from 1mm (s_min) to 15mm (s_max). If the distance between the switch and the target is <1mm or >15mm, the LED flashes. If the target is within the operating range (1mm to 15mm), the LED is on. Note: This example assumes the target is a standard object. Correction factors for standard materials and sizes/shapes apply to this proximity switch.

Analog Output Proximity Switch Can Solve the Needs of a Wide Range of Applications:

Convert linear motion into an analog signal: Through an analog input card, the distance between the proximity switch and the target can be continuously monitored. If necessary, multiple switch points can be programmed.
Classify products by material: For different materials, the correction factor curves drawn based on the relationship between the output (current or voltage) and the detection distance are also different. If the detection distance is constant, the output for targets of different materials will also be different and can be distinguished.
Classify products by height: Targets of the same material but with different heights or thicknesses can be easily distinguished.
Concentricity monitoring: An analog proximity switch can determine if a rotating object is off-center.
