CA30EAN25BPM1IO – CAP PROX SS M30 NON-FLUSH IO-LINK, PLUG

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CA30EAN25BPM1IO Capacitive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi CA30EAN25BPM1IO is an advanced M30 stainless steel non-flush capacitive proximity sensor with IO-Link, designed for reliable detection of solid and liquid targets in demanding industrial automation and process applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CA30EA 4th Generation TRIPLESHIELD™ series, it combines a 25 mm rated operating distance, adjustable sensitivity and intelligent communication in a robust AISI 316L stainless steel housing.

The sensing range can be adjusted from approximately 4–30 mm, allowing the detection point to be optimised for different target materials and installation conditions. Capacitive sensing technology enables the CA30EAN25BPM1IO to detect conductive and non-conductive materials, including liquids, plastics, glass, powders and granular products, making it suitable for level monitoring, presence detection and material sensing.

Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the CA30EAN25BPM1IO provides configurable NPN/PNP switching with NO/NC operation together with IO-Link communication. Its 4-pin M12 connector, non-flush M30 × 61 mm construction, improved EMC performance, ECOLAB approval and IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection make it particularly well suited to demanding machinery, food and beverage, materials handling and washdown environments.

Stainless Steel Capacitive Detection with IO-Link Intelligence

Capacitive proximity sensors detect changes in capacitance when a target enters the sensor's electrical field, allowing them to detect a much broader range of materials than conventional inductive sensors. With its 25 mm rated operating distance and adjustable 4–30 mm sensing range, the CA30EAN25BPM1IO is suitable for detecting solid or liquid targets including plastics, rubber, glass, powders, granulates and process liquids.

IO-Link provides enhanced data availability, remote configuration, automatic parameter setting and advanced diagnostics, helping simplify commissioning and sensor replacement. Combined with the AISI 316L stainless steel housing, TRIPLESHIELD™ technology and high ingress protection, these capabilities make the CA30EAN25BPM1IO particularly suitable for smart machinery and demanding process automation installations.

Typical Applications

• Liquid and bulk-material level detection.
• Food and beverage processing machinery.
• Plastic and rubber processing equipment.
• Powder, granulate and pellet monitoring.
• Packaging, filling and handling machinery.
• Container, hopper and vessel level monitoring.
• Washdown and demanding industrial environments.
• IO-Link enabled machinery and smart factory automation.
