Carlo Gavazzi Threaded Barrel Capacitive Proximity Sensor M18, PNP/NPN Output, 12 mm Detection, 240 V AC 40 CA18CAN12BPA2IO

Carlo Gavazzi CA18CAN12BPA2IO is a Threaded Barrel Capacitive Proximity Sensor featuring an M18 size body designed for industrial automation and control applications. It supports PNP and NPN output configurations with maximum voltage ratings of 240 V AC and 40 V DC. The sensor is specifically designed for reliable non-contact detection of materials, using capacitive sensing technology with a detection range of 12 mm.

The sensor has a sturdy Polybutylene Terephthalate housing with an 86 mm length and 70 mm depth, making it robust for harsh industrial environments. It is rated IP69K, ensuring resistance to dust and high-pressure water jets, suitable for demanding manufacturing and processing plants.

This model is fully configurable via IO-Link version 1.1, allowing customization of outputs as PNP, NPN, or Push-pull, with selectable normally open or normally closed contacts and timer functions for switch-on and switch-off delay. The sensing distance and hysteresis are adjustable with preset levels of 33%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of the maximum sensing capability.

Temperature monitoring functions provide alarms for overrun or underrun conditions, enhancing system safety and reliability. The sensor operates effectively between -30°C and 85°C, supporting wide temperature industrial environments.

Its maximum switching frequency of 50 Hz makes it particularly suitable for rotational speed monitoring and other high-speed sensing applications.

Applications of this sensor include general position sensing, presence detection of materials in industrial automation, HVAC, manufacturing processes, and water treatment systems where non-contact detection is required. Its unshielded design is optimized for detecting non-metallic materials.

The sensor features an M18 threaded barrel body for secure mounting. It provides PNP/NPN configurable output types via IO-Link. Robust Polybutylene Terephthalate housing ensures durability. IP69K protection guarantees performance in harsh environments.
