New generation inductive proximity sensors with IO-Link communication
Benets
• A complete family. Available in M12, M18 and M30
robust nickel-plated brass housings with an operating
distance of 4 to 22 mm.
• Less machine downtime. Lower risk of mechanical
damage thanks to the extended operating distance.
• Easy to install. ICB sensors have a milled section for
wrench grip and two dierent thread lengths. The user
can choose between 2 m PVC cable and M12-disconnect
plug versions.
• High precision. The onboard advanced microcontroller
ensures better stability with respect to environmental
inuences, with highly reliable repeatable measurements
between -25 and +70°C.
• Easy customization to specic OEM requests:
dierent cable lengths and materials, special labelling,
customized pig-tail solutions with special cables and
connectors are possible on request.
• The output can be operated either as a switching output
or in IO-Link mode.
Description
The new generation ICB series is a complete
family of high performance inductive sensors for
contactless and wear free detection of metallic
objects in industrial automation applications, such
as packaging, materials handling and machine
tools. The advanced electronics is enclosed in a
robust nickel-plated brass housing. It is available
in three diameters: M12, M18 and M30 with an
extended sensing distance range between 4 and
22 mm.
On-board IO-Link communication opens up many
possibilities, such as easy conguration and set-
up of the devices and advanced parameter setting.
• Fully congurable via IO-Link v1.1. Electrical outputs
can be congured as PNP/NPN/Push-pull, normally
open or normally closed.
• Timer functions can be set, such as switch-on and
switch-o delay
• Adjustable sensing distance and hysteresis: sensing
distance can be set to 33%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the
maximum sensing distance
• Temperature monitoring: over or under-run temperature
alarms can be set
•
Applications
• Non contact detection of metal objects in general position-sensing and presence-sensing in industrial applications
• Particularly suitable for rotational speed monitoring thanks to the high operating frequency

Main functions
• Integrated diagnostic function with ashing LED in the event of a short circuit or overload
• The devices can be operated in IO-Link mode once connected to an IO-Link master, or in standard I/O mode.
• In IO-Link mode the switching signals of the sensor are made available in the process data via the IO-Link interface.
• Several sensor functions can be set via the IO-Link interface:
► Adjustable switching distance: 33%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the maximum switching distance.► Adjustable hysteresis: standard or increased value.► Divider function: the sensor gives a signal after a specied number of actuation pulses has been
reached.
► Switch-on delay: the switching pulse is generated after the sensor actuation.► Switch-o delay: the generation of the switch signal is delayed by the set time after sensor actuation.► Temperature error: temperature is out of specications.► Temperature over-run and under-run: temperature is out of the limits dened by the user.

4 to 22 mm: depending on housing diameter and version (ush or non-ush)
The operating distance is measured according to IEC 60947-5-2, using a
standard target moving axially.
This target is square shape 1 mm thickness, made of steel e.g. type Fe 360
Reference target
as dened in ISO 630 and it shall be of the rolled nish.
The length of the side of the square is equal to
– the diameter of the circle inscribed on the active surface of the sensing face,
or
– three times the rated operating distance Sn whichever is greater

Correction factors
The specic operating distance Sn refers to dened measuring conditions. The following data have to be
considered as general guidelines.
Fe360 : Steel
CrNi : Chrome-nickel
CuZn : Brass
Al : Aluminium
Cu : Copper
Sr : Eective operating distance
Fig. 7 The rated operating distance is reduced by
the use of metals and alloys other than Fe360. The
most important reduction factors for inductive prox-
imity sensors are shown in the gure.
