## ~~ee~~ **CA12CAxxBPxxIO - IO-Link** 

## **Capacitive Proximity Sensors with IO-Link communication** 

## **Benefits** 

- **A complete family.** Available in M12 in a robust PBT housing with an operation of 0.5-4 mm flush or 0.5-8 mm non-flush. 

- **Enhanced EMC performance:** 4[th] Generation 

- TRIPLESHIELD[TM] 

- **Easy customization to specific OEM requests:** different cable lengths and materials, special labelling: 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. 

- Electrical 

- **Fully configurable via output IO-Link v 1.1.** 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, Offdelay, and one shot. 

- **Logging functions:** Temperature, detecting counter, power cycle and operating hours. 

## **Description** ro 

The new generation of CA12CA…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 Materials handling. The 4[th] Generation of TRIPLESHIELD[TM] technology provides increased immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially to frequency drives, and improves immunity to humidity and dust. 

- **Detection modes** Single point, two point and windows 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. 

- 

On-board IO-Link communication opens up a variety of functions, such as easy communication and customization of advanced parameter settings. 

## **Applications** 

- Detection of glass in production of e.g., Solar panels, Mobile phones or Windows glass containing a tiny layer of metal coating.

## **Main functions** 

- The sensor can be operated in IO-Link mode once connected to an IO-Link master or in standard I/O mode. 

## **Adjustable parameters via IO-Link interface:** 

- Sensing distance and hysteresis. 

- Sensing modes: single point or two point or window mode. 

- Timer functions, e.g.: On-delay, Off delay, One shot leading edge or trailing edge. 

- Logic functions such as: AND, OR, X-OR and SR-FF. 

- External input. 

- Logging functions: Maximum temperatures, minimum temperatures, operating hours, operating cycles, power cycles, minutes above maximum temperature, minutes below minimum temperature, etc.
