Brief description
The iProx is Eaton’s most powerful and
versatile inductive, cylindrical sensor.
With its mounting microprocessor and
unique Smart-SenseTM technology
this sensor has three times the range
of other sensors in its class and offers
unmatched configurability. Both
shielded and unshielded versions of
the sensor have an extended range
so that the sensor can be positioned
further away from the target object.
This reduces the risk of a collision
with the target object and increases
operational reliability. The iProx also
has many additional functions,
which can be activated through the
optionally available programming
tools. With Windows software Prox-
View the sensor can be programmed
for any application. Sensor character-
istics such as range can be set to
the nearest tenth of a millimeter. The
outputs can be configured as N/O or
NC. Even interference immunity and
response time can be adjusted. In
addition the iProx features a mounting
logic for timing delays and speed
detection – without complex PLC
programming. With its large range,
high quality, sophisticated design,
and adaptability to its environment,
iProx is the ideal choice for demanding
applications.
Product features
• Available as DC 3-wire version.
• Reliably detect metal targets at up to
three times the range of conven-
tional shielded or unshielded tubular
inductive sensors
• Quality construction using a
stainless steel barrel, 360° degree
dual-color LED indicator, Ryton
impact-resistant face cap
®
and
vibration-absorbing potting
compound.
• The automatic configuration
automatically detects NPN and
PNP connections and switches
the sensor accordingly and without
user intervention.
• Configurable range, band detection,
background (metal) object detec-
tion, timing delays and speed detec-
tion thanks to the microprocessor-
based Smart-Sense™ technology.
• Optional computer programming
cable and Windows-based
ProxView configuration software
makes it easy to customize sensors.
• Resistant to high interference levels
(up to 20 V/m).
• Resistant to extreme temperatures
(-40 °C).
