Key features

• Sensing distance 3 mm – rated value according to the manufacturer's catalogue data.
• PNP / NO output – electrical design of this variant.
• Supply 10–30 V DC – permissible supply voltage range.
• Flush mounting – design of the active face according to the manufacturer.
• Connection: connector M8, 3 pins – electrical connection type of this variant.
• Degree of protection IP69K – degree of protection stated in the catalogue data.
• IO-Link communication – communication interface specified by the manufacturer.
• Ambient temperature -25–85 °C – permissible temperature range according to the manufacturer.

How an all-metal 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 IC080176

Electrical connection IC080176

IC080176 uses the connection connector M8, 3 pins. The manufacturer states the number of pins: 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 IC080176

The active face is designed for flush mounting. The sensor can be installed in a metal surrounding according to the manufacturer's installation drawing. The maximum tightening torque specified by the manufacturer is 6 Nm.

Typical applications IC080176

• detecting metal parts in mechanically demanding environments
• applications requiring a metal active face

How to choose the right variant

• Sensing distance 3 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.
• PNP output: must match the input type of the control system.
• NO contact: the output changes state when the target is detected.
• Connection: connector M8, 3 pins: the mating connector or cable must match the data in the datasheet.
• Degree of protection IP69K: assess together with the specific environmental conditions and the connection method.
