IS5026 Operating Instruction

This document provides information on inductive sensors, including: 1) Key terms like hysteresis, short-circuit protection, standard target, and operating principle which involve differences in switch-on/off points, protection from excessive current, reference steel plates, and how the sensor's coil and capacitor form an LC resonant circuit. 2) Factors that affect sensing range like target material, size, and distance from the sensor. 3) Guidelines for flush and non-flush mounting of cylindrical and rectangular sensors. 4) Wiring diagrams and connections for 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire technologies. 5) Information on parallel and series connections and minimum clearance for side-by-side

Info card

Inductive sensors

This info card is to be regarded as a supplement to the main position sensors catalogue and to the individual data sheets. For further information and contact addresses please visit our homepage at www.
ifm.com.

Hysteresis

Difference between the switch-on and the switch-off point.

Short-circuit protection

ifm sensors which are protected against excessive current by means


of a pulsed short-circuit protection. The inrush current of incandescent
lamps, electronic relays and low resistance loads may cause this
protection to cut in and turn the sensor off!

Standard target

Square-shaped steel plate (e.g. S235JR) of a thickness of 1 mm with


a side length equal to the diameter of the sensing face or 3 x Sn,
depending on which value is the highest.

Operating principle of an inductive proximity switch


Coil and capacitor form an LC resonant circuit, also called basic sensor.
Eddy current losses in electricallyconductive materials are used for a
switching signal.

Difference between any two Sr measurements. Max. 10 % of Sr.

Leakage current

Current for the internal supply of 2-wire units; also flows through the
load when the output is blocked.

Switch point drift

The shifting of the switch point owing to changes in the ambient


temperature.

Switching frequency

Damping with standard target at


half Sn. The ratio damped to undamped (tooth to gap) = 1 : 2.

Coil
Alternating electromagnetic field = active zone
Target = electrically conductive material

Important Glossary
Active zone / active face

Area above the sensing face in which the sensor reacts to the approach of the target.

Output function

Normally open:

Rated insulation voltage

IEC 60947-5-2

Repeatability

> output is switched.
Normally closed:
object within the active zone
> output is blocked.
Programmable:
choice between normally closed or normally open.
Positive switching: positive output signal (to L-).
Negative switching: negative output signal (to L+).

Power-on delay time

The time the sensor needs to be ready for operation after application
of the operating voltage (in the millisecond range).

Operating voltage

The voltage range in which the sensor functions reliably. A stabilised and smoothed direct voltage should be used! Take into account
residual ripple!

Utilisation category

AC units: AC-140 (control of small electromagnetic loads with holding


currents < 200 mA)
DC units: DC-13 (control of solenoids)

Current consumption

Current for the internal supply of 3-wire DC units.

Degree of soiling

Inductive proximity sensors are designed for degree of soiling 3.

Poor repeatability
Good repeatability
Good repeatability of the switch point means: The
closer the target is positioned to the sensing face, the
better. General recommendation: a = 10 % of the nominal sensing range

If the required clear space is not observed for non-flush units, the sensor is predamped. This may lead
to permanent switching.
