Telemecanique Sensors Inductive Rectangular-Style Proximity Sensor, 40 mm Detection, PNP Output, 12 → 48 V,

The Schneider Electric XS series inductive proximity sensor is solely for the detection of metal objects. It basically comprises an oscillator whose windings constitute the sensing face. An alternating magnetic field is generated in front of these windings. When a metal object is placed within the magnetic field generated by the sensor, the resulting currents induced form an additional load and the oscillations cease. This causes the output driver to operate and, depending on the sensor type, a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) output signal is produced.
