E2A-M30LN30-M1-B2

Proximity sensors are pieces of electronic hardware used in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, such as detecting the presence of an object or position of a piece of machinery. The E2A-M30LN30-M1-B2 proximity sensor combines two types of sensor technology – inductive and capacitive – in order to detect the presence of non-metal objects. This proximity sensor is used in the automotive, printing and robotic industries.

Inductive Technology

The inductive part of the E2A-M30LN30-M1-B2 proximity sensor uses an oscillator circuit to send out an alternating current. When this alternating current jumps the gap between the sensor’s internal coils and an object, an AC frequency is generated by the object affecting the oscillator circuit. This frequency is detected by the sensor and activates a switch which signals the presence of the moveable part. This type of sensing technology is limited to ferromagnetic materials.

Capacitive Technology

The capacitive portion of the E2A-M30LN30-M1-B2 sensor uses a combination of a capacitor and a radio frequency oscillator to detect the presence of conductive and non-conductive targets. The sensor transmits a high-frequency signal, which is either absorbed or reflected by the object. A change in the capacitive field of the area around the sensor is detected, and signals the presence of the part or object.

Hybrid Technology

The E2A-M30LN30-M1-B2 is a hybrid sensor, using both inductive and capacitive sensing technologies to detect the presence or absence of objects. The captivity field is used to detect the presence of a non-metal object close to the sensor, while the inductive technology is used to detect the presence of a metal object nearby. This hybrid design makes the sensor ideal for automotive, printing and robotic applications, particularly in cases where the target is variable in material composition.

Installation and Setup

The E2A-M30LN30-M1-B2 is designed for easy installation and setup. All components are included with the sensor, meaning installation can be completed in a few easy steps. The sensor can be connected to outputs such as relays, lamps or indicators. The output type will depend on the application and can be easily set up using the sensor’s programming tools.

Conclusion

The E2A-M30LN30-M1-B2 Proximity Sensor is an effective and reliable tool for detecting the presence or absence of target objects. It combines two sensing technologies – inductive and capacitive – to create a hybrid system that can detect a range of objects and materials. The sensor is easy to install, set up and use, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
