Datasheet
## **CA12EAxxBPxxIO - IO-Link** ## **Capacitive Proximity Sensors with IO-Link communication** ## > ## **Benefits** - **A complete family.** Available in M12 in a robust Stainless steel AISI316L/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** The new generation of CA12EA…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. **1** 06/03/2024 CA12EAxxBPxxIO ENG Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S **CA12EAxxBPxxIO - IO-Link** **==> picture [40 x 40] intentionally omitted <==** ## **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. **2** 06/03/2024 CA12EAxxBPxxIO ENG Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S **CA12EAxxBPxxIO - IO-Link** **==> picture [40 x 40] intentionally omitted <==** ## **References** ## **Product selection key** **CA12EA BP IO** Enter the code option instead of **==> picture [484 x 195] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Code Option Description<br>C - Sensing principle: Capacitive sensor<br>A Cylindrical housing with threaded barrel<br>12 - Housing diameter (mm)<br>E - Stainless steel AISI316L + PBT housing<br>A - Axial sensing<br>F Flush installation<br>N Non-flush installation<br>04 Sensing distance: 4 mm (Flush)<br>08 Sensing distance: 8 mm (Non-flush)<br>B - Selectable functions: NPN, PNP, Push-Pull, External Input (only pin 2) or External teach<br>input (only pin 2)<br>P - Selectable: N.O. or N.C., each output<br>A2 2 metre PVC cable<br>M1 M12, 4-pole connector<br>IO - IO-Link version<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> Additional characters can be used for customized versions. ## **Type selection** **==> picture [484 x 63] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Connection Distance Mounting Code<br>4 mm Flush CA12EAF04BPA2IO<br>Cable<br>8 mm Non-flush CA12EAN08BPA2IO<br>4 mm Flush CA12EAF04BPM1IO<br>Plug<br>8 mm Non-flush CA12EAN08BPM1IO<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> **3** 06/03/2024 CA12EAxxBPxxIO ENG Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S **CA12EAxxBPxxIO - IO-Link** ## **Structure** **==> picture [445 x 150] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> H H 7<br>\ E<br>B B<br>: y F D<br>A A<br>_<br>; [ZH,]<br>C E\\ C<br>G<br>/<br>I c J<br>Fig. 1 CA12 Cable Fig. 2 CA12 Plug Fig. 3 Colour code<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> |**A**|Teach-button|**F**|Blue(Pin 3)| |---|---|---|---| |**B**|Yellow LED|**G**|Black(Pin 4)| |**C**|Green LED|**H**|Sensingface| |**D**|Brown(Pin 1)|**I**|2 m,4 wire PVC Ø 3.3 mm cable| |**E**|White(Pin 2)|**J**|M12x1,4-pin male connector| **4** 06/03/2024 CA12EAxxBPxxIO ENG Carlo Gavazzi Industri A/S **CA12EAxxBPxxIO - IO-Link** **==> picture [40 x 40] intentionally omitted <==** ## **Sensing** ## **Detection** **==> picture [484 x 507] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Single point SelectorA A Logic A - B delayTime inverterOutput Sensor output<br>Two point SO1<br>1.

About Novapart
Novapart is a B2B electronic component broker specialising in stock shortages and cost reduction. We source hard-to-find parts and identify compliant alternatives across a catalogue of 410,000+ components from 500+ manufacturers.
Learn more →Stock Shortage Specialist
When a component is unavailable, discontinued or has an unacceptable lead time, we tap into our network of vetted European and Asian distributors to source what you need — without compromising on quality or traceability.
Request a quote →Compliant Alternatives
We identify pin-to-pin, electrically equivalent substitutes that meet the same certifications (RoHS, AEC-Q100, REACH) as your original specification — validated against datasheets, not just part numbers. Often at a lower cost.
