IO180106 – IPF Factor 1 inductive sensor

IO180106 IPF is a Factor 1 inductive sensor designed for detecting different metals with the correction factor specified by the manufacturer. This variant has: design M18, rated sensing distance 20 mm, supply 10 V-30 V DC, PNP output with NO contact, connection: cable 2 m, 3 wires.

Key features

• Sensing distance 20 mm – rated value according to the manufacturer's catalogue data.
• PNP / NO output – electrical design of this variant.
• Supply 10 V-30 V DC – permissible supply voltage range.
• Connection: Cable 2 m, 3 wires – electrical connection type of this variant.
• IO-Link communication – communication interface specified by the manufacturer.
• Ambient temperature -25 °C–85 °C – permissible temperature range according to the manufacturer.

How a Factor 1 inductive sensor works

The active face of the sensor generates an electromagnetic field. When a metal object approaches it, the resulting eddy currents change the state of the oscillator and the electronics evaluate this change at the output. Detection takes place without mechanical contact between the sensor and the target.

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 IO180106

Electrical connection IO180106

IO180106 uses the connection cable 2 m, 3 wires. 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.

Typical applications IO180106

• detection of different metal materials
• applications where the material of the metal target alternates

How to choose the right variant

• Sensing distance 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.
• PNP output: must match the input type of the control system.
• NO contact: the output changes state when the target is detected.
• Connection: Cable 2 m, 3 wires: the mating connector or cable must match the data in the datasheet.
