Carlo Gavazzi CA18 & CA30 Capacitive Proximity Sensors with IO-Link Communications

Carlo Gavazzi introduces this series of high-quality capacitive sensors to meet the demands of a new industrial era that requires devices with enhanced capabilities and new ways of accessing, communicating and processing data. The CA18 & CA30 sensors combine excellent features with the benefits of the IO-Link standard, which opens up access to detailed information, advanced functionality and flexibility.

The IO-Link system provides significant advantages including enhanced data availability and workability, remote configuration and automatic parameter settings, advanced diagnostics, simplified installation and easy sensor replacement.

FEATURES

  • Housed in durable AISI316L stainless steel or PTFE Teflon for high chemical resistance applications where sensing performance is constantly and accurately monitored and logged.
  • IO-Link communication mode enables additional advanced functionalities such as Quality of Run, Quality of Teach and diagnostic parameters. Each sensor is fully programmable and customizable, allowing more than half-a-million settings.
  • Single point, two point and windows sensing modes.
  • Programmable sensing distance and hysteresis.
  • AND, OR, XOR and ‘Gated SR/FF’ logic functions.
  • ON, OFF and one shot timer functions.
  • I/O terminals can be configured as: NPN, PNP, push-pull or external input.
