Reliable Capacitive Detection for Industrial Automation
Capacitive proximity sensors detect changes in capacitance caused by an object entering the sensor's electrical field. Unlike inductive sensors, which are primarily intended for metallic targets, capacitive sensors can detect both conductive and non-conductive materials, making the CA30CLC30BPM1 suitable for applications involving plastics, glass, powders, granulates and liquids.
The CA30CLC30BPM1's Teach-in functionality allows the sensing point to be configured for the application, while automatic NPN/PNP load detection and selectable NO/NC operation simplify integration with PLCs and other industrial control equipment. Carlo Gavazzi TRIPLESHIELD™ technology further enhances sensor protection against electrical disturbances encountered in industrial installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial level detection for liquids and bulk materials.
- Plastic, glass and non-metallic object detection.
- Powder and granulate level monitoring.
- Packaging and filling machinery.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Food and beverage processing equipment.
- Industrial automation and process-control systems.
