Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CA30FAF16BPM1IO IO-Link Capacitive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi CA30FAF16BPM1IO is a high-performance M30 capacitive proximity sensor with IO-Link, designed for reliable detection of solid and liquid materials in demanding industrial applications. Part of the CA30FAF 4th Generation TRIPLESHIELD™ range, it combines configurable sensing with a chemically resistant PTFE housing and advanced digital communication.
The CA30FAF16BPM1IO is flush mountable and provides a rated operating distance of 16 mm, with an adjustable sensing range of 2–20 mm. Its capacitive sensing principle enables detection of conductive and non-conductive targets, while IO-Link provides access to remote configuration, diagnostics, process data and advanced sensor parameters.
Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the sensor provides configurable NPN/PNP and NO/NC switching and uses a standard 4-pin M12 connector. The M30 × 61 mm PTFE housing, 50 Hz switching frequency, ECOLAB approval and IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection ratings make it particularly suitable for industrial processes requiring robust, configurable sensing.
