Function
The inductive safety sensors are TÜV-certified in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive, Performance Level PLd, Category 2, and SIL2. They are used to safeguard machines and plant components, as well as for reliable position detection in this environment. With their OSSD interface for reliable, redundant shutdown of electronic outputs, they enable easy connection to a safety PLC or fail-safe control interfaces.
They can also be operated as standard sensors. The sensors reliably detect standard metal objects in front of the sensor face without coding or similar; there is no blind zone. High characteristic safety values allow longer testing intervals than comparable solutions with a microcontroller. 2 sensors can be connected with 2-channel redundancy and allow PLe as a Category 3 solution.
