IB300026 – analogue inductive distance-measuring sensor IPF

IB300026 IPF is an analogue inductive distance-measuring sensor designed for continuous measurement of the position or distance of a metal target. This variant has: design M30, overall length 73.5 mm, rated sensing distance 0–20 mm, supply 15–30 V DC, analogue output, connection: connector M12.

Key features

• Sensing distance 0–20 mm – rated value according to the manufacturer's catalogue data.
• Analogue output – electrical design of this variant.
• Supply 15–30 V DC – permissible supply voltage range.
• Flush mounting – design of the active face according to the manufacturer.
• Connection: Connector M12 – electrical connection type of this variant.
• Degree of protection IP67 – degree of protection stated in the catalogue data.
• Analogue output 0-10V/ 4-20mA – output signal of this variant.
• Ambient temperature -25–70 °C – permissible temperature range according to the manufacturer.

How an analogue inductive distance-measuring sensor works

The active face generates an electromagnetic field. An approaching metal target changes the state of the field and the electronics convert this change into the analogue output signal given in the specifications. The resulting signal can be used for continuous evaluation of position or distance within the manufacturer's measuring range.

Correction factors for different metals

The rated sensing distance applies to the manufacturer's reference target. For another material, the approximate range is determined as Sn × the correction factor given below. The values are taken from the catalogue data of this model.

Technical specifications IB300026

Electrical connection IB300026

IB300026 uses the connection connector M12. The manufacturer states the number of wires: 3. Before connecting, compare the actual wiring with the diagram in the manufacturer's datasheet; pin and wire colour assignments should not be derived from the connector type alone.

Mounting IB300026

The active face is designed for flush mounting. The sensor can be installed in a metal surrounding according to the manufacturer's installation drawing.

Typical applications IB300026

• continuous measurement of the distance of a metal target
• analogue evaluation of the position of a metal part

How to choose the right variant

• Sensing distance 0–20 mm: this is the rated catalogue value. When designing, take into account the material and size of the target as well as the mounting conditions.
• Flush version: check that the installation method matches the manufacturer's installation drawing.
• Analogue output: must match the input type of the control system.
• Connection: Connector M12: the mating connector or cable must match the data in the datasheet.
• Degree of protection IP67: assess together with the specific environmental conditions and the connection method.
