Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S30N22A2IO Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S30N22A2IO is a compact M30 inductive proximity sensor with IO-Link designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, it combines intelligent sensor communication with a short-body, non-flush design for flexible integration into modern factory automation equipment.

Featuring a rugged nickel-plated brass housing, the ICB30S30N22A2IO provides a maximum rated operating distance of 22 mm. IO-Link allows the sensing distance to be configured to 33%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the maximum range, while the electrical output can be configured for PNP, NPN or push-pull operation and normally open or normally closed switching.

The sensor operates from a 10–36 V DC supply, supports output currents up to 200 mA and provides a maximum switching frequency of 1 kHz. Its 2 m integral cable, IP67 protection and compact M30 × 44 mm dimensions make it well suited to industrial position sensing, presence detection, component counting and rotational speed monitoring.

Key Advantages

• Integrated IO-Link communication for intelligent configuration and sensor monitoring.

Intelligent Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation

Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without physical contact, helping minimise mechanical wear while providing repeatable position and presence feedback. The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30S30N22A2IO combines a compact M30 threaded housing with an extended 22 mm maximum sensing distance and high operating frequency, making it suitable for both general-purpose metal detection and faster industrial sensing applications.

IO-Link functionality adds flexible configuration capabilities beyond those of a conventional fixed-output proximity switch. The ICB30S30N22A2IO allows sensing distance, output type and switching function to be configured, while additional IO-Link functions support intelligent monitoring and diagnostics within compatible automation systems.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery position and presence detection.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Metal component detection and counting.
• Automated assembly and production lines.
• Rotational speed monitoring.
• Packaging and processing machinery.
• PLC and IO-Link enabled automation systems.
