Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F08A2IO IO-Link Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICB18S30F08A2IO is a compact and configurable M18 inductive proximity sensor with IO-Link designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the advanced Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, it combines conventional proximity sensing with IO-Link communication for enhanced configuration, diagnostics and integration into modern automated equipment.

This sensor provides a maximum rated sensing distance of 8 mm, which can be configured to 33%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the maximum sensing distance. Its electrical output is also configurable as PNP, NPN or push-pull with normally open or normally closed operation, providing significant flexibility when integrating the sensor into different machine control architectures.

With a 10–36 V DC operating supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and switching frequency of up to 1.5 kHz, the ICB18S30F08A2IO provides fast and dependable sensing performance. Its flush-mountable short-body design, nickel-plated brass housing, 2 m cable and IP67 protection rating make it well suited to compact and demanding industrial installations.
