Bus-enabled Proximity Switches

In multiple sensor applications, a communications network often connects sensors so that system coordination can be accomplished. We offer a line of intelligent proximity sensors that extend their functionality to include supply line monitoring, diagnostics and network communication with a programmable logic controller.

Using our AS-interface proximity sensors the user can network up to 31 (specification 2.0) or 62 (specification 2.1) proximity switches per master.

Proximity switches with AS-interface are equipped with a failure warning indication, a on/off switching delay, and an internal oscillator monitoring function. These sensors are available in cylindrical, rectangular and screw-on "F" design housing styles.
