Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N40A2IO IO-Link Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N40A2IO is a compact M8 IO-Link inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08 series, it combines a short stainless-steel threaded housing with non-flush mounting and configurable sensing functionality for modern automated machinery.

The ICS08S30N40A2IO provides a factory-set sensing distance of 4 mm, with the sensing distance configurable between 2 mm and 4 mm. Its output is also configurable as NPN, PNP or push-pull and as normally open or normally closed, with the factory setting configured as PNP normally open. IO-Link communication provides access to sensor configuration and diagnostic functionality while retaining conventional switching capability.

With a 10–30 V DC supply, maximum output current of 100 mA and switching frequency up to 2 kHz, the ICS08S30N40A2IO provides responsive operation for industrial control systems. Its 2 m cable, short M8 × 34 mm body, stainless-steel construction, IP67 protection and -25 to +80 °C operating temperature range support reliable use in demanding automation environments.

Configurable IO-Link Sensing for Industrial Automation

Inductive proximity sensors detect conductive metallic objects through an electromagnetic sensing field without requiring physical contact. This contact-free principle avoids mechanical wear at the sensing point and provides dependable detection for repetitive position, presence, counting and machine-sequencing applications.

The ICS08S30N40A2IO adds IO-Link communication to conventional inductive sensing, allowing parameters such as sensing distance and switching output behaviour to be configured for the application. Its combination of configurable NPN, PNP or push-pull operation, NO or NC switching, a compact M8 housing and extended non-flush sensing range makes it a flexible choice for intelligent industrial automation systems.

Typical Applications

• Smart factory and IO-Link automation systems.
• Metal component presence and position detection.
• Machine position and end-of-travel sensing.
• Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
