Allen Bradley Inductive Threaded Barrel Proximity Sensor, M4, 0.6 mm Detection, PNP NO, 10 → 30 V dc

Allen Bradley 871C series miniature inductive proximity sensors are self-contained, solid-state devices designed to sense the presence of ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects without touching them. These small-barrel sensors are designed for space-critical applications where standard-size sensors simply will not fit. IO-Link enabled sensors offer advanced features and diagnostics including Automatic Device Configuration, multiple profiles, trending, descriptive tags, and device-specific parameters

IO-Link communication

This precision-designed inductive proximity sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range reliably and accurately detects the movement or presence of objects. Its oscillating circuit generates an electromagnetic field that changes when ferrous metals and non-ferrous metal objects are near. The unit combines reliable performance with a compact design that makes it ideal for mounting on machines with limited space. Its high switching frequencies allow for fast detection. Use this efficient component for safety and inventory management applications.

• False pulse, transient noise and reverse polarity functions protect against electrical damage
• IP67 (ingress protection) rating indicates complete shielding against dust and water damage for use in harsh environments
• IO-Link communication protocol for versatility and scalability
• Operating temperatures from -25°C to +70°C for use in demanding environments

• RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
• CE (Conformitè Europëenne)
• cULus (Underwriters' Laboratories in Canada and the US)

IO-Link is a point-to-point serial communication protocol that's used to communicate with sensors and actuators. It offers real-time diagnostics and multiple profiles for reduced inventory and operating costs, which leads to increased uptime and greater productivity.
