ics30ln15pcm1-fb – prox sen.ind.fb m30 plg long pnp nc no-flush
Carlo Gavazzi ICS30LN15PCM1-FB is a long-body M30 non-flush inductive proximity sensor with a 15 mm sensing distance, PNP normally closed output, 10–36 V DC supply, M12 connector and IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection for demanding industrial and washdown applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS30LN15PCM1-FB Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS30LN15PCM1-FB is a heavy-duty M30 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in demanding industrial, food and beverage, and washdown applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS30 washdown series, this three-wire DC sensor combines a long AISI 316L stainless-steel housing with high environmental resistance for machinery exposed to moisture, cleaning agents and intensive cleaning processes.
The ICS30LN15PCM1-FB features a PNP normally closed (NC) output, a rated operating distance of 15 mm and a non-flush mounting configuration. Its unshielded sensing arrangement provides increased target clearance compared with flush-mounted designs, making it well suited to machine positioning, component presence detection, conveyors and automated process equipment.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current up to 200 mA and an operating frequency up to 1 kHz. Its M12 × 1, 4-pin connector, AISI 316L stainless-steel body, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection ratings and Ecolab approval make it particularly suitable for demanding industrial and hygiene-sensitive production environments.

Reliable Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic sensing field. When a suitable metal object enters this field, the sensor changes its output state, providing dependable position, presence and process feedback without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The ICS30LN15PCM1-FB combines a substantial 15 mm sensing distance with corrosion-resistant AISI 316L stainless-steel construction and high ingress protection. Its robust design makes it particularly effective for machinery exposed to water, cleaning agents and regular washdown procedures, while the PNP normally closed output supports straightforward integration with compatible PLCs and industrial automation controllers.
Typical Applications
- Food and beverage processing machinery.
- Washdown and hygiene-sensitive production environments.
- Packaging, filling and bottling equipment.
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Machine position and metallic component detection.
- Automated manufacturing, counting and positioning systems.
