Proximity Sensors

Proximity sensors are devices that detect the presence of objects without having physical contact. They are particularly useful in hazardous applications or applications where electrical contacts cannot be used. Proximity sensors are also known as non-contact sensors or inductive sensors. When an object is detected, the sensor notifies the user by providing an indication of its presence.

IN40-E0109K Application Field and Working Principle

The IN40-E0109K proximity sensor is a 3-wire device designed for sensing objects in a range of 10 - 120mm. It can be used in a variety of applications including detection of objects or materials such as wood, metal, plastic, and paper. The sensor is designed with an internal magnet which interacts with the material to be sensed.

The operating principle of the IN40-E0109K is based on inductive technology. When the material to be detected is placed in the proximity of the sensor, the magnetic field of the internal magnet starts to intercept the material which induces an electrical current in the latter. This current is sensed by the internal circuitry of the sensor and thus the presence or absence of the material is indicated. This information is then sent to the user in the form of a signal, which can be used for further processing.

In addition, the IN40-E0109K is also equipped with diagnostic functions such as alarm latch and counterCheck which allow the user to monitor the progress of the detection process and to diagnose any errors in the system. Furthermore, the sensor is also protected against electromagnetic and electrostatic interference with its EMC Shielding and built-in noise filter.

The IN40-E0109K proximity sensor is an ideal solution for a wide range of applications due to its robust construction, easy installation and cost-effectiveness. It is also a great choice for integrating into larger systems, as it can be easily connected with other sensors and control units.
