CA18CAxxBPxIO ENG30/08/2018
Capacitive Proximity Sensors with IO-Link communication
Description
The new generation of CA18CA…IO sensors are
a complete family of high performance capacitive
sensors for detection of most solid or liquid targets
in industrial applications such as Plastic & Rubber,
Agriculture, Food & Beverage and Material
handling. The 4th Generation of TRIPLESHIELDTM
technology providing increased immunity to
electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially to
frequency drives, and improve the immunity to
humidity and dust.
The sensor housing has the IP69K rating as
well as approval by ECOLAB for cleaning- and
disinfection agents.
On-board IO-Link communication opens up a
variety of functions, such as easy communication
and customization of advanced parameter settings.
Benefits
• A complete family. Availability in M18 in a robust PBT
housing with an operation of 2-10 mm flush or 3-15 mm
non-flush.
• Enhanced EMC performance: 4th Generation
TRIPLESHIELDTM
• Easy customization to specific OEM requests:
different cable lengths and materials, special labeling,
customized pig-tail solutions with special cables and
connectors are possible on request.
• The output can be operated either as a switching output
or in IO-Link mode.
• Fully configurable via output IO-Link v 1.1. Electrical
outputs can be configured as PNP / NPN / Push-Pull /
External input, normally open or normally closed.
• Timer functions can be set, such as ON-delay, Off-
delay, and one shuts.
• Logging functions: Temperatures, detecting counter,
power cycles and operating hours.
• Detection modes Single point, Two point and window
mode.
• Analogue output: In IO-Link mode the sensor
will generate 16 bit analogue process data output
representing the dielectric value measured by the sensor.
•
Applications
• Detection not only the level of plastic pellets in plastic molding machines but also the dielectric value of the pellets to
avoid false manufacturing.
• Detection of not only the wood pellets in pellets burners but also the density of the wood pellets.
