Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CA30CAN25BPA2IO Capacitive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi CA30CAN25BPA2IO is an advanced M30 capacitive proximity sensor with IO-Link designed for reliable non-contact detection of conductive and non-conductive materials in industrial automation, process control and smart manufacturing applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi 4th Generation TRIPLESHIELD™ CA30 series, this non-flush sensor combines extended sensing capability with intelligent communication, configurable outputs and advanced diagnostics.

The CA30CAN25BPA2IO provides a 25 mm rated sensing distance with an adjustable sensing range of 4–30 mm, allowing accurate detection settings for different materials and installation conditions. Its outputs can be configured for NPN, PNP or Push-Pull operation, with selectable normally open or normally closed switching, while IO-Link enables remote configuration, parameter storage and diagnostic monitoring.

Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the sensor features a non-flush M30 threaded PBT housing and a 2 m PVC cable. With IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection, improved EMC performance and ECOLAB approval, the CA30CAN25BPA2IO is suitable for demanding industrial and hygiene-sensitive environments.
