Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between PNP and NPN output sensors?
PNP sensors (like the BES 516-3005-G-E4-C-S49-00,3) switch the positive voltage to the load, while NPN sensors switch the negative side. PNP is more common in European and North American systems and is generally preferred for PLC inputs.
Can this sensor detect non-metallic objects?
No, inductive proximity sensors like the BES 516-3005-G-E4-C-S49-00,3 are designed specifically for detecting metallic objects. For non-metallic detection, consider capacitive or photoelectric sensors.
What is the maximum switching frequency?
While specific switching frequency data isn't provided in the basic specifications, Balluff inductive sensors typically offer switching frequencies up to 5kHz, making them suitable for high-speed applications.
Is this sensor suitable for outdoor applications?
With its IP67 rating, the sensor is protected against dust and temporary immersion, making it suitable for some outdoor applications. However, direct exposure to UV radiation and extreme weather conditions should be avoided for optimal longevity.
What is the expected service life?
Balluff proximity sensors are designed for industrial use with typical service lives exceeding 10 million switching cycles under normal operating conditions.
