IB300223, IPF, extended-range inductive sensor, M30 × 70mm, Sn 15mm, 10-30VDC, PNP, NC, connector M12, 4 pins

IB300223 – IPF extended-range inductive sensor

IB300223 IPF is an extended-range inductive sensor designed for applications requiring a longer sensing distance or a larger mounting margin. This variant has: design M30, overall length 70 mm, rated sensing distance 15 mm, supply 10–30 V DC, PNP output with NC contact, connection: connector M12, 4 pins.

Key features

• Sensing distance 15 mm – rated value according to the manufacturer's catalogue data.
• Output PNP / NC – 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 M12, 4 pins – electrical connection type of this variant.
• Degree of protection IP67 – degree of protection stated in the catalogue data.
• Ambient temperature -25–70 °C – permissible temperature range according to the manufacturer.

How an extended-range 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.

Technical specifications IB300223

Electrical connection IB300223

IB300223 uses the connection connector M12, 4 pins. The manufacturer states the number of pins: 4. 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 IB300223

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 IB300223

• detection of metal parts with a larger mounting margin
• position checking over a larger working gap
• replacing a standard sensor where its range is not sufficient

How to choose the right variant

• Sensing distance 15 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.
• NC contact: the contact logic is normally closed.
• Connection: connector M12, 4 pins: 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.
