Sensors optimized
for OEM applications
Machine builders need robust, reliable, and cost-effective
sensors for a variety of challenging applications.
To meet those Eaton is your global partner.

Molding
Injection blow molding machines transform raw plastic into molded bottles. These
machines heat the plastic, inject it into a cavity, and expand the plastic to its final shape.
Capacitive sensors and photoelectric sensors can be used to detect the level of plastic
pellets in the input hopper; to verify tooling positions and count parts coming out of the
molds; and can be used after the operation to verify correct bottle volume and
dimensions at much lower cost and complexity than vision-based systems.
Filling
Photoelectric sensors can be used to detect both
bottle and filler positions and capacitive sensors
or specialized photoelectric sensors can be used
to confirm correct fluid fill levels.
Packing
Bottles are batched into groupings of twelve, and moved over a cardboard box blank.
The side of the cardboard is then folded up, around the product, to form the final
product box. Photoelectric sensors can be used at this stage to count bottles during the
batching process, to ensure that the cardboard box blank is present, and to verify the
position of the batch as it is moved into place for the packing step. Sensors can also be
used to verify that box sides have been folded up to the correct height, and to count
finished packages moving on to a palletizer or a finished goods station.
Transporting
Air transport moves product from one station to the
next at incredible speed, all while a vacuum seal on
open containers keeps bottles contaminant-free.
Along the line, specialized photoelectric sensors with
an ability to detect clear objects can be used to count
bottles as they fly by, also looking for unusual gaps
between adjacent products that might indicate a
missing or dropped product.
Capping
As the filled bottles are moved to the capping
machine, photoelectric sensors detect bottle position,
and capacitive sensors can be used to confirm correct
fluid fill levels. Depending on the type of cap,
photoelectric and/or inductive sensors can be used to
inspect for correct cap placement and tightening.
Once capped, the bottles are wrapped in a plastic seal
that contains special UV dyes. As the bottles leave the
machine, specialized UV-sensitive photoelectric
sensors can be used to confirm the presence of the
safety seal around the cap.

Short Description
Sensor E52 Cube from Eaton is a
powerful inductive proximity sensor. It
provides a long sensing range in a
compact, standard-conformant
enclosure. The outputs of this series
are self-configuring as PNP or NPN,
without user interaction. The E52
features additional outputs for various
connection types to cover many
applications with just a few models.
Separate indicator lights for voltage
and output signal simplify installation
and fault retrieval. Five different
mounting methods make these
sensors exceptionally versatile. The
E52 Cube has been developed
specially for demanding applications,
for example in car production, in bulk
material plants and in in metal-
processing industries.
Product Features
• Large measuring range up to 40 mm.
• Four-wire models feature additional
outputs (1 × N/C, 1 × N/O).
• Four-wire DC models feature an
automatic configuration function for
independent NPN/PNP selection.
• Robust design featuring vibration
and impact-absorbing potting
compound
• Ideal for extreme temperatures or
high pressure washdown
environments.

Inductive SensorsE56 Pancake Series
Description
① Indicator lights for current and output status.
a
Short Description
Eaton’s E56 sensors are powerful
inductive proximity sensors. The E56
Pancake provides greater sensing
ranges than other inductive sensor
package types. They are easy to wire
and feature self-configuring
complementary outputs, which
automatically detect an NPN or PNP
connection and configure the sensor
accordingly without user interaction.
Indicator lights for power and output
state simplify troubleshooting
compared to sensors with only an
output indicator. These convenience
features and their high performance
make the E56 Pancake sensors ideal
for applications in which a rugged
design and a long range are required.
Product Features
• Large measuring with range up to
100 mm.
• Three sizes for all application
scenarios; max. range 50, 70 or
100 mm.
• Complementary outputs (1 × N/C,
1 × N/O) on models with four-wire
connection.
• Models with DC voltage four-wire
connection feature an automatic
configuration function for
independent switchover between
NPN and PNP.
• Robust design featuring vibration
and impact-absorbing potting
compound
• Ideal for extreme temperatures or
high pressure washdown
environments.

Short Description
Eaton’s inductive proximity sensors of
the Premium+ series feature an
enhanced measuring performance,
durability and selection. Unlike the
standard sensors, the Premium+
models feature a rugged stainless
steel enclosure, impact-resistant front
caps and an impact-absorbing
sealant. The sensors are are now
available in versions for AC, AC/DC
and DC-only operation, with enclosure
diameters of 12, 18 and 30 mm.Their
interference immunity is unsurpassed
at more than 20 volts/meter.
The Premium+ series includes sensors
with a specially short, cylindrical
enclosure. Despite their small size,
they feature the same measuring
range as the longer standard sizes.
This allows the sensors to be used in
applications where mounting space is
limited. All sensors are equipped with
a LED with 360° visibility.
Product Features
• New, wider product range – models
with two-wire, three-wire, AC, DC
and AC/DC connection.
• Resistant against mechanical and
environmental strain.
• Designed with stainless steel barrel
and new potting compound for
robust, high temperature, high
pressure washdown, as well as
intense shock and vibration
applications.
• Unmatched high noise immunity
eliminates problems associated
with electrical noise (all models > 20
Volt/Meter).
• Output status lamp is visible through
360° from any direction and at all
light conditions.
• AC/DC and DC models have
resettable short-circuit and polarity
reversal protection.
• Models with 90° measuring head
offer unique problem-solving
capabilities.
• Large temperature range (-25 to 70
°C).
• Small sizes for space-saving
installation available.
• Versions with cable for hard wiring
or M12 plug connector for fast
installation and simple replacement.

Short Description
The iProx is Eaton’s highest-
performance and most versatile
inductive, cylindrical sensor. With its
built-in microprocessor and unique
Smart-Sense™- technology this
sensor has three times the range of
other sensors in its class and offers
unique configurability. Both screened
and unscreened 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 extended functions, which
can be activated through the
optionally available programming
tools. With Windows software
ProxView the sensor can be
programmed for any application.
Sensor characteristics 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 built-in logic for
deceleration 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.

Inductive SensorsE59 AccuProx Series
Description
Short Description
The AccuProx is a high performance
analog inductive proximity sensor. The
AccuProx family of analog sensors
provide unmatched sensing range,
linearity and resolution in an
affordable and compact tubular
enclosure.
Unlike standard inductive sensors,
which send an open or close signal
upon target presence or absence,
AccuProx analog sensors provide an
electrical signal that varies in
proportion to the position of the metal
target within its sensing range.
This makes AccuProx ideal for
applications requiring precise position
sensing and measurement.
The sensing performance of AccuProx
sets it apart from traditional analog
inductive designs. Utilizing
components from the cutting-edge
iProx family, AccuProx provides
sensing ranges of three to four times
that of typical tubular analog inductive
sensors — all without compromising
accuracy.
AccuProx has the range and precision
to solve your most difficult
measurement applications.
Typical Applications
• Part positioning.
• Distance, size and thickness
measurement.
• General inspection and error
proofing, such as material
imperfection or blemish detection.
• Eccentricity or Absolute Angle
Detection.
• Identification of different metals.
• Two mounting options for maximum
flexibility
Product Features
• Extended linear sensing range of up
to 25 millimeters—three times
longer than standard tubular analog
inductive sensors.
• Current outputs (4-20 or 0-20 mA)
and voltage outputs (0-10 V)
available.
• High output resolution and
repeatability for applications
requiring precision sensing
performance.
• Robust stainless steel barrel, shock-
resistant front cap, polycarbonate
end bell and impact-absorbing
potting compound.
• Resistant to elevated temperatures
and high-pressure sprays - ideal for
environments with extreme
temperatures and wet areas.
• High noise immunity of 20V/m
prevents many problems associated
with electrical noise.

AccuProx - Powerful analog
range in a tried-and-true
enclosure
Historically, the range of applications
for analog sensors has been severely
limited due to short sensing ranges,
which rarely exceed one or two
millimeters. This, however, has
changed with the use of a perfected
technology that enables AccuProx
sensors to sense objects at distances
of up to 25 millimeters, all while
maintaining excellent output accuracy
levels.
AccuProx utilizes many of the proven
materials found in other tubular sensor
families. The threaded barrel and
included mounting nuts are made of
stainless steel, which exhibits superior
corrosion and abrasion resistance
versus nickel-plated brass. AccuProx
also features a proprietary internal
potting compound that absorbs
impacts and vibration while sealing
out moisture.The materials used in the
construction of AccuProx are time-
tested and proven to work.
High Output Accuracy
Analog inductive sensors are often
used in applications that require a
higher level of precision than a
standard digital sensor. For example,
applications such as part inspection
require a sensor that can detect very
small variances. AccuProx has been
designed with these applications in
mind.
Output accuracy is determined by the
repetition accuracy, resolution,
linearity and response time of the
sensor.
The Repetition accuracy refers to the
variations in sensing distance
between successive sensor
operations due to component
tolerances, where all operating
conditions are kept the same. The
repetition accuracy of an 18 millimeter,
unscreened AccuProx sensor is less
than 20 micrometers.
Resolutionrefers to the number of
“steps” in the sensor output. A higher
resolution is ideal because it will allow
the sensor to detect smaller changes
in target position.
An 18 millimeter, unscreened
AccuProx features more than 350
output steps, ensuring consistent
performance.
The Linearityrefers to the shape of the
output curve. Many analog sensors
exhibit a wavy or “S-shaped” output
curve. This means that a change in
target distance may not always
translate into an equivalent change in
output, particularly at the innermost
and outermost ranges of a non-linear
analog sensor. AccuProx features a
linear output. See the diagram below
for an example of AccuProx versus a
non-linear sensor.

Short Description
Eaton’s high-performance light
barriers feature a tubular enclosure
with a diameter of 18 mm and are
available in a range of versions to
solve virtually any sensing problem.
The sensors are available in thru-
beam, reflex, polarized reflex, diffuse
reflective, focused diffuse reflective,
wide-angle diffuse reflective, Perfect
Prox®_x, Fine Spot Perfect Prox®_x and
fiber optic sensing versions. Perfect
Prox_x®_x light barriers are among the
most powerful on the market. These
sensors can reliably detect targets of
different color, reflectance, contrast
or surface shape at the same range,
while ignoring background objects just
a fraction of an inch away. The Comet
model series includes AC/DC and DC-
only models with 2-, 3- and 4-wire
circuitry, and with cable or M 12
micro-connector. Each light barrier
features a Light/ Dark changeover
switch and a gain control to provide for
quick adjustment to peak optical
performance. The unique threaded
housing with flat sides allows quick
mounting in a 3/4 mm hole or against
any flat surface. Internal components
are rigidly sealed in a solid
encapsulated package for excellent
performance in high vibration and
high-shock applications.
Product Features
• Industry standard 18 mm diameter
threaded body has flat sides
allowing it to be mounted like a
tubular sensor or against any flat
surface.
• Models with a 90° measurement
direction can be installed in holes
with a depth of only 152 mm.
• Perfect Prox®_xtechnology provides
exceptional background rejection
and application problem-solving.
• Visible sensing beams let you see
where the light barrier is aimed for
quick flush mounting and alignment.
• Solid polyurethane housing
completely encapsulates internal
circuits for high resistance to shock
and vibration
• Adaptable modulation circuit
provides immunity to crosstalk from
other closely mounted sensors
• Models available with both AC and
DC operation in a single unit – up to
264 volts AC.
• 4-wire DC sensors offer both NPN
and PNP outputs.
• Output status indicator visible from
a wide 270° angle.

Description
Short Description
Eaton's Plastic Fiber Optic Cables from
offer a lower-cost alternative to glass
fibers.
Single fiber optic cable is normally
used for thru-beam sensing and
duplex fiber optic cable (two isolated
cables running in parallel) for diffuse
reflective.
Pre-assembled fiber optic cables are
special purpose cables to solve a
variety of fiber optic sensing
applications.
Product Features
• Fiber optic cables allow remote
sensing in areas where space is
restricted or tight viewing angles
are required
• Single cable styles are ideal for
thru-beam sensing.
• Duplex fiber optic cable styles are
typically used for diffuse reflective
sensing
• Pre-assembled cables are available
in 0.5 mm for sensing extremely
small targets

Short Description
Eaton’s E58 series was designed to
withstand harshest physical, chemical
and optical environments. Stainless
steel, PVDF and tempered glass
components are mechanically
assembled using Viton® seals to
ensure complete sealing and
resistance to industry chemicals. All
adhesives and potting subject to
failure from chemical attack have
been eliminated from the design. The
result is a sensor highly resistant to
chemical attack and moisture
intrusion, that can withstand heavy
shock and vibration in almost any
application. E58 Harsh Duty sensors
feature unparalleled optical
performance. They are ideal for
automotive applications where
exposure to lubricants, cutting fluids,
coolants and glycols is common. For
food processing applications, a
smooth housing version simplifies
high-pressure chemical washdowns.
Furthermore it withstands the use of
sanitizers, surfactants, and cleaning
agents including diluted bases and
acids.
Product Features
• Sensor with a diameter of 18 mm
and 30 mm.
• Highly refined optics for long
sensing ranges and to see through
high levels of contamination –
unmatched optical performance
• Perfect Prox® technology provides
exceptional background rejection
and extremely high excess gain.
• Resistant to the wide range of
chemicals used in the automotive,
food processing and forest products
industries
• Suitable for high temperature, high
pressure washdown (82 bar).
• Mechanical Viton gaskets are
resistant to extreme temperature
variations.
• Visible sensing beam on all models
lets you see where the beam is
aimed for quick flush mounting and
alignment.
• The function display is the brightest
available and is visible from any
angle and in any lighting condition
• The industry’s only background
suppression sensors with a 2-wire
circuit design
• Four-wire DC sensors feature an
NPN and a PNP output

Short Description
Eaton’s SM series photoelectric
sensors offer a high performance and
simple use in a compact, cost-
effective design. Regardless how good
a sensor’s performance just a slight
maladjustment or incorrectly
positioned target will sooner or later
impact reliability.TargetLock™ not
only simplifies sensor setup but
visually confirms your sensor is
positioned to operate with the highest
possible reliability. In addition
TargetLock™ outputs diagnostic
information during operation, which
provide an early warning about
potential problems to help prevent
costly downtimes. The SM Series
includes many other features that
simplify use.Visible sensing beams on
all models show you exactly where the
sensors are pointing. The durable
enclosure features multiple fixing
possibilities to easily fit on your
equipment in the tightest of spaces.
Full protection from overvoltage,
reverse polarity and short circuits
reduces the chance of damage. Bright
360° LED indicators clearly show
sensor status.
Product Features
• Bright indicators for current, output,
and TargetLock™.
• TargetLock™ simplifies setup and
ensures a high operational
reliability.
• Perfect Prox® models detect targets
with different colors at the same
range while ignoring background
objects.
• DC-models feature PNP and NPN
outputs.
• Visible sensing beam on all models
lets you see where the beam is
aimed for quick flush mounting and
alignment.
• Compact design for space-saving
flush mounting.
• Range of mounting options,
including standard 18 mm thread.
• Short-circuit, overload and
protection against polarity reversal.
• Full family includes thru-beam,
polarized reflex, diffuse reflective
and Perfect Prox® background
rejection.

Optical sensorsE71 NanoView Series
Description
Short Description
The NanoView™ Series from Eaton is a
family of miniature rectangular
photoelectric sensors designed for
optimum value and sensing
performance in a wide range of
applications.
These small sensors are available for a
wide variety of optical operating
modes: retroflective sensing sensor,
diffuse reflective sensor, and thru-
beam photoelectric sensor. They can
even be used to detect transparent
objects, such as plastic bottles,
molded parts, containers, and films.
NanoView sensors are housed in ABS
enclosures rated IP66 or better. Two
top-mounted indicator LEDs
communicate power and output
status.
Each model includes both light operate
and dark operate modes. Termination
options include a 4pole M8 connector
cable or a built-in 6 ft (2m) cable.
NanoView is the ultimate solution to
sensing challenges that require
reduced dimensions and costs.
Product Features
• Complete range.
• Small size: With a length of less than
38 mm and a depth of 13 mm,
NanoView sensors can fit pretty
much anywhere.
• Models with focused beam path: A
focal length of 100 mm makes them
perfect for detecting small target
objects. In addition, a visible red LED
beam makes them easy to set up.

Optical sensorsE75/E76 IntelliView Series
Description
Short Description
The IntelliView™ Series from Eaton is
a family of compact, high performance
specialty photoelectric sensors
designed to solve a wide array of
sensing challenges.
IntelliView encompasses a variety of
new sensing technologies: color,
contrast and luminescence sensing;
field-adjustable foreground and
background suppression sensing;
short-range distance sensing with
analog outputs; and long-range, high-
precision laser distance sensing with
analog outputs.
To fit into your application, IntelliView
sensors are available in industry-
standard M18 flat-tubular and
compact rectangular enclosure sizes.
For ease of installation and
replacement, all models are available
with micro-connectors.
Product Features
• New Sensing Technologies—Eaton

photoelectric sensor capable of
detecting targets as far as 3.9 ft
(1.9m) away.
• LED Indicators and Pushbuttons—
Multiple LEDs communicate output
and power status while built-in
pushbuttons and adjustment
potentiometers simplify the
teaching of sensor settings.

Adjustable Foreground/
Background Suppression Models
• Ignores nuisance foreground or
background objects.
• Field-adjustable sensing ranges.
• Compact 50x50 mm rectangular
enclosure size.
• M12 micro-connector termination
with 90- and 180-degree rotation
options.
• Sensing ranges up to 47.2 in (120
cm).
Foreground/Background Sensing Ba-
sic Information
Foreground/background suppression
sensors make it possible to set exact
minimum and maximum detection
distances. In other words, they can be
used to ensure that targets will only be
detected if they are exactly within the
specified range. This prevents false
positives caused by objects that are
too close (foreground) or too far
(background).This type of sensor is
ideal for suppressing the detection of
box edges and bottoms, sending an
output only upon the presence of
goods actually contained in the box.
Distance Sensing Models with
Analog Outputs
Long-Range, High-Precision Laser
Distance Measurement Sensor
Short-Range Distance Sensor
• When within the effective range of
the sensor, outputs a 0–10V signal
proportional to the target’s distance
from the sensor face
• Class II laser emitter detects objects
from 0.3 to 4m (1 to 13.1 ft) away.
• Two additional PNP outputs can be
programmed to switch at
predetermined ranges.
• Simple three-step learning mode for
programming range limits.
• Unmatched accuracy and
resolution at long sensing
distances.
• Visible red LED emitter detects
objects from 5 to 10 cm (1.9 to 3.9 in).
• Two indicator LEDs communicate
sensor status: a yellow LED with
light intensity proportional to the
target’s distance within the sensor’s
range, and a red LED that activates
when the target is beyond maximum
sensing range.
• Flat tubular enclosure can be
mounted using the body threads or
flat against a surface
Distance Sensing Explained
Distance sensors output a 0–10V
analog signal in proportion to the
measurement of the distance between
the sensor and target. Optical
triangulation, a technology similar to
that used in Eaton’s Perfect Prox or
diffuse sensors, is used for short- to
mid-range distance sensing
applications that do not require a high
degree of accuracy. For distance
sensing applications that involve
longer ranges, time-of-flight
technology is used instead."Time-of-
flight" is a method that measures the
time it takes for the emitted beam to
bounce off the target and return to the
sensor. Time-of-flight is highly
accurate, with precise resolution over
long sensing distances.

Color Sensors
• Can be programmed to recognize
three different colors
independently.
• Capable of sensing targets 5–45 mm
away from the sensor face.
• Rectangular plastic enclosure
features a four-digit display, two
programming buttons and output
status LEDs.
• Optional serial connection (RS485)
allows for remote communications.
• Standard 8pole M12 micro
connector.
Color Sensing Basic Information
Color sensors work by using a
chromaticity detection algorithm.
Chromaticity is determined by two
characteristics: hue and saturation.
Hue is determined by the reflected
light’s wavelength, while saturation
indicates the pureness percentage
(with white representing 0%). Eaton’s
color sensor goes one step further and
provides an optional “chromaticity
plus intensity” algorithm.
This operating mode provides a higher
sensitivity to tone variations and is
recommended for detection of
different colors on the same type of
material. It will also better distinguish
between gray tones.
The color of a target is determined by
the color components of the reflected
source light. The target color is
identified by analyzing the red (R),
green (G) and blue (B) channels of
reflected light.
For example, yellow can be identified
by the following reflections:
R=50%, G=50%, B=0%
orange can be identified by
R=75%, G=25%, B=0%
pink by
R=50%, G=0%, B=0%
The RGB combinations are practically
unlimited. Applications for color
sensors are common in many
industries, ranging from quality and
process control, to automatic material
handling for identification, to
orientation and selection of objects
according to their color.
Contrast Sensors
• Ideal for detecting different colored
or grayscale contrasts, such as
registration marks
• Capable of sensing targets out to 10
mm from the sensor face
• Simple three-step setup routine for
quick installation or optional “fine
setup routine” for more complicated
applications
• Complementary outputs can
function in either light operate or
dark operate modes.
• Standard M12 4pole micro-
connector.
Contrast Sensing Basic Information
Contrast sensors (also defined as
color mark readers, according to their
most popular application) go beyond
simple presence/absence detection to
distinguish two surfaces according to
the contrast produced by their
difference in reflectivity.
For example, a dark reference mark
(low reflectivity) can be detected by
comparing it against the contrast of
the lighter surface (high reflectivity).
A white LED light source is used for
general-purpose contrast detection.
This makes it possible to detect the
slightest contrast changes even when
the reference material has the same
composition and color.
Contrast sensors are frequently used
in automated packaging applications
for registration mark detection to
automate the folding, cutting and
sorting phases.
Luminescence Sensor
• Perfect for the detection of any
luminescent target, even on
reflective materials such as
ceramics, metal or mirrored glass.
• Capable of sensing from 8–20 mm
from the sensor face.
• Simple three-step setup routine. An
advanced setup routine is also
available for more complex
applications.
• Can function in either light operate
or dark operate mode.
• Standard M12 4pole micro-
connector.
Luminescence Sensing Basic
Information
Luminescence is defined as visible
light emission from fluorescent or
phosphorescent substances.
Luminescence sensors emit ultraviolet
light, which is then reflected at a
higher wavelength from the target
surface. The UV emission from the
sensor is modulated and the visible
light received is synchronized,
resulting in immunity against external
interferences such as reflections
caused by shiny objects.
Luminescence sensors are used in
various industries to detect labels,
fluorescent marks or signs,
fluorescent glues on paper, to
distinguish cutting and sewing guides,
and to check fluorescent paints or
lubricants.

Short Description
Capacitive Proximity Sensors from
Eaton’s electrical business are self-
contained devices designed to detect
both metallic and nonmetallic targets.
They are ideally suited for liquid level
control and for sensing powdered or
granulated material. For best
operation, they should be used in an
environment having relatively
constant temperature and humidity.
Product Features
• Detect liquids, powders and other
materials that are difficult or
impossible with other sensor types.
• Corrosion-resistant insulated
enclosure.
• Adjustable sensitivity.

Basic information 103
Basic Information
Sensors are devices that sense the
presence or absence of objects. Sen-
sors perform a number of functions in
automated manufacturing and mate-
rial handling systems. For example,
sensors can determine if an object
is present, if tooling is broken, or if
product is running down a conveyor
line.
A sensor can be thought of as an
automatic switch. In a factory, a sen-
sor can be used to detect a problem
on the line and stop the line automati-
cally.
Sensors have contributed significantly
to recent advances in manufacturing
technology. The use of sensors makes
it possible to increase the degree of
automation in processes and systems.
In addition, it eliminates the need for
human operators to monitor and con-
trol situations.
The two main categories of sensors
are proximity sensors and light sen-
sors.
Proximity Sensors
This type of sensor uses an electro-
magnetic or electrical field to detect
when an object is near. There is no
physical contact between the object
and the sensor. Inductive proximity
sensors detect only metal objects.
Capacitive proximity sensors can
sense both metallic and non-metallic
objects.
Proximity sensors can be used, for
example, to ensure that a part in a
manufacturing process is aligned
within a specific tolerance.
This type of sensor is generally used
to sense at distances less than one
inch (2.5 cm).
Photoelectric sensors
This type of sensor uses light to detect
the presence or absence of an object.
A thru-beam photoelectric sensor
uses two devices on opposite sides (a
source and a detector).
Detection occurs when an object
blocks or breaks the beam of light
passing between them.
Light beam blocked: object detected
aSource
bDetector
A diffuse reflective sensor (proximity
sensing) emits a beam of light that
must be reflected by the target object
in order for the object to be detected.
Reflected light beam: object detected
aSource
bDetector
A retroflective sensor emits a beam
of light that is reflected towards the
sensor by a reflector. An object is
detected when it blocks the beam of
light between the sensor and the
reflector. We will go over this type of
light sensor in greater detail later on in
this chapter.
Light beam blocked: object detected
aSource
bDetector
Most electric garage door openers
include a light sensor for safety rea-
sons. If the light sensor's beam of light
is blocked (by a child, for example)
while the door is being closed, the
sensor will tell the door opener to
reverse the direction of the door's
movement or to stop the door.
Although environmental factors can
affect light sensors, these devices
have a long sensing range. The
objects they detect can be of any
material.

Basic information
Inductive Proximity
Sensors
The inductive proximity sensor can be
used to detect metal objects. It does
this by creating an electromagnetic
field.
With the ability to detect at close
range, inductive proximity sensors are
very useful for precision measurement
and inspection applications.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths
• Immune to adverse environmental
conditions.
• High switching frequencies for fast
processes.
• Can detect metallic targets through
non-metallic barriers
• Long operational life with virtually
unlimited operating cycles.
• Bounceless switch outputs; e.g., to
PLCs.
Weaknesses
• Limited sensing range (maximum of
25 mm, also up to 100 mm in E56
series).
• Detects only metal objects.
• May be affected by metal chips
accumulating on sensor face.
Scopes of application
Proximity sensors are used in a variety
of applications. For example:
• Detecting the limit of a positioning
table's travel
• Determining a speed by counting
the teeth on a sprocket
• Checking whether a valve is fully
open or closed
Proximity sensors can be used to
detect the presence or absence of
metallic workpieces or workpiece fix-
tures on conveyor belts.
Inductive sensors can be used to con-
trol robotic arms. They can be used,
for example, to ensure that objects are
actually gripped correctly.
In metal machining, proximity sensors
can make sure the workpiece is
mounted in the fixture correctly, and
that the drill bit has not broken off.
How an Inductive Proximity
Sensor Works
Inductive proximity sensors generate
a high-frequency (HF) electromag-
netic field. When a metal object is
brought near the sensor's face, the
field changes. The detector circuit
detects this change and the sensor
switches an output to a connected
device. Each sensor has a specific
sensing range, which ensures that
metallic objects will be detected with
utmost precision in a repeatable man-
ner.
Surface mounting
Let’s look at the components and the
process step-by-step:
Components
A metal object, or target, enters the
sensing field.
The sensor coil is a coil of wire typi-
cally wound around a ferrite core. If
you could see the electromagnetic
field created by it, it would be cone
shaped. The target will pass through
this field.
The ferrite core shapes the field and
the size of the coil determines the
sensing range.
The oscillator circuit makes the field
oscillate at a specific high frequency
(100 kHz to 1 MHz). The presence of
metal in the field causes this vibration
to change. Eddy currents, which take
energy from the field, are induced on
the target object. Accordingly, the
metallic object causes a change in the
magnetic field. This change creates a
damping effect on the amount of sig-
nal that cycles back to the sensor coil.
The amplitude is reduced accordingly.
The detector circuit detects this
change and switches at a specific set-
point value. This signal, in turn, pro-
duces a change at the switching
output.
The output remains active until the
target leaves the sensing field. The
oscillator responds with an increase
in amplitude, and when it reaches the
setpoint value, the detector circuit
switches. The output returns to its
normal state.
Hysteresis
Hysteresis is a fixed distance between
the ON and OFF points. If hysteresis
were not included in a sensor's
design, the output would continuously
switch on and off when close to the
operating point.
Hysteresis

bHysteresis

With hysteresis, the operate point and
the release point are slightly different
distances from the sensor face.
Proximity Sensor Types
Proximity sensors come in a wide vari-
ety of designs to meet the require-
ments of almost any industrial
application.
• Tubular
This is the design of choice for a
growing number of applications. The
small size allows for easy mounting in
a fixture or for use in tight spaces
found on many assembly lines.
• Right angle tubular
This design enables mounting in tight
locations.
• Plastic housing
This corrosion-resistant unit performs
well in high wash-down areas or
places where caustic chemicals
abound.
• Pancake
The extra-large coil in this unit makes
it possible to achieve the widest and
tallest available sensing range of 100
mm. It is ideal for use in heavy industry
applications and for the assembly of
large components.
Inductive Proximity Sensor
Influences
When applying inductive proximity
sensors, it is important to understand
the sensing range and the factors that
influence that range. The sensing
range refers to the distance between
the sensor face and the target.
Four considerations are of particular
importance when selecting and using
proximity sensors:
• Target considerations (material,
size, shape and approach)
• Coil size and screening
• Sensor mounting requirements
• Environment
Target Material
The target object's material will affect
the maximum sensing range. If this
maximum distance is exceeded, the
damping effect needed to switch the
sensor output will not be produced
and the sensor will not detect the tar-
get object.
Proximity sensors work best with fer-
rous alloys. Though these sensors
detect other metals, the range will not
be as great. Generally, the less iron in
the target, the closer the target has to
be to the sensor to be detected.
Manufacturers generally provide
charts showing the necessary correc-
tion factors for various types of metals
when applying their sensors. Each
sensor style will have a correction
factor to enable calculation for a par-
ticular target material.
Correction factors
Multiply the sensing distance by the
factor given below.
1) Stainless steel 400 series to ASTM
A240, martensitic or ferritic,
magnetizable.
2) Stainless steel 300 series to ASTM
A240, austenitic, non-magnetizable.
The index of stainless steels is
provided in EN 10088-1.
Target Size
If the target object is smaller than the
sensor's "standard target size," the
sensing range will also be smaller.
This is because a smaller target
creates a weaker eddy current. How-
ever, a bigger target does not mean a
longer sensing range.
The thickness of the target does not
impact sensing range much. However,
a very thin non-ferrous target can
actually achieve a greater sensing
range because it generates an eddy
current on both sides.
So, how big should the target be?
The rule of thumb is: the size of the
sensor’s diameter, or three times the
sensor’s sensing range, whichever is
greater.

Target Shape
The shape of the target can have an
impact on the sensing range. A round
object, or an object with a rough sur-
face can affect the damping effect of
the sensor, and may require a closer
sensing distance. Using a larger sensor
size or an extended range sensor will
also minimize this effect.
Target Approach
How the target approaches the sensor
matters as well. When an object
comes at the sensor straight on, that’s
an axial approach. With this type of
approach, you will need to protect the
sensor physically. Allow for 25% over-
travel.
Axial Approach
asensing face
Hysteresis tends to be greater for an
axial approach than a lateral
approach.
Lateral Approach
arecommended detection range
bTarget
On a slide-by, or lateral approach, the
target approaches the center axis
of the sensing field from the side (lat-
eral).
The target should not pass closer than
the basic tolerance built into the
machine design.
For both approach types, it is neces-
sary to ensure that the distance
between the target object and the
sensor face does not exceed 75% of
the sensing range.
Coil/Core Size
An important factor in the range of the
sensor is the construction of the coil/
core. An open coil with no core will
produce a field that could be actuated
by a target from any direction. That
wouldn’t be recommended for indus-
trial applications.
For an inductive proximity sensor, the
sensor coil that generates the field fits
inside of a ferrite core. This cup-
shaped piece of ferrite material is
called a cup core. This core directs
the field and shapes it.
Coil/Core Construction
aProtection cap
bCoil
cCup core
dSensor head
A protective cap prevents dust or
other environmental hazards from
entering the sensor.
Screening
The coil can be screened in order to
focus the field strength. In standard
range sensors, the ferrite cup core
will shape the field in such a way that
it is emitted straight forward from the
sensor's sensing face - i.e., "screened"
in a manner of speaking.
An extended-range coil/core assem-
bly does not use the standard cup
core, but rather just a ferrite core. This
unscreened sensor makes it possible
to expand the sensing range. The rea-
son why is that there is less ferrite to
absorb the electromagnetic field.
Accordingly, the sensor's effective
range will become wider and a little
longer.
The decision to use an unscreened
sensor will impact the mounting of the
sensor, as we will discuss that next.
Screening
aflush mounting (screened)
bnon-flush mounting (unscreened)
Mounting Considerations
A flush-mounted screened sensor can
be fully embedded in a metal mounting
block without affecting the sensor's
sensing range.
In contrast, an unscreened sensor will
require a certain distance (metal-free
zone) around it - this distance will
depend on the sensor's sensing
range. Otherwise, the sensor will
sense the metal fixing and be continu-
ously operating.
Accordingly, a sensor's design
(screening) will affect the way it is
mounted.
Clear Zone
aflush mounting (screened)
bnon-flush mounting (unscreened)
Mounting two sensors closely
together can also be a problem. If you
position two proximity sensors too
close together—either side by side or
facing each other head to head—the
two fields will clash with one another.
Each sensor needs to be mounted at
least three times its own sensing
range away from the other. The use of
an alternative frequency head on one
of the sensors will prevent adjacent
sensors’ sensing fields from interact-
ing.
Mounting Ranges
Environment
The sensor’s environment can affect
its performance dramatically. Some of
these environmental factors are:
•Debris
Debris can accumulate on the sensing
cap, changing the range of the sens-
ing field. In an application where
metal chips are created, the sensor
should be mounted to prevent those
chips from building up on the sensor
face. If this is not possible, then cool-
ant fluid should be used to wash the
chips off the face. An individual chip
generally doesn’t have enough sur-
face area to cause the sensor to turn
on, but several of them could extend
the sensing range and interfere with
the accuracy of the sensor.
• Electrical cables
Magnetic fields caused by electrical
wiring located in the vicinity may
affect sensor operation. If the field
around the wires reaches an intensity
that would saturate the ferrite or the
coil, the sensor will not operate. Sen-
sors used in areas with high fre-
quency welders can also be affected.
To compensate for a welder, weld
field immune sensors can be installed.
Or, if the sensor is used with a PLC, a
time delay can be programmed to
ignore the signal from the sensor for
the time period that the welder is
operating.
• High frequency source (HF)
RF sources (such as walkie-talkies)
can produce signals that use the same
frequency as the sensor's oscillator
circuit. This is called radio frequency
interference (RFI). Sensors have inte-
grated EMC protection components in
order to provide maximum protection
against radio frequency interference
and sensor malfunctions.
Electrical interference from nearby
motors, solenoids, relays and the like
could have an affect on sensor opera-
tion as well.
• Induced line or current spike
An induced line or current spike can
cause a false operation of the sensor.
This spike can be produced by the
electrical arc created when an elec-
trical/mechanical switch or a contac-
tor closes. If the lines connecting the
sensor and these devices are adja-
cent and parallel to one another, the
spike will affect the sensor. Most
codes and specifications call for a
separation of control and power
leads.
• Ambient air temperature
The ambient temperature can affect
sensing range. The effect is referred
to as temperature drift. The sensing
range can change by as much as
±10%.
Component variations, power-line
noise, ambient air temperature, and
the effects of normal machine wear
can all contribute to changes in sens-
ing ranges. Because of this, sensors
must be selected in such a way that
they will detect target objects at 75%
of the nominal switching distance and
will be deactivated at 125%.

Capacitive Proximity Sensors
CA053003EN-INT www.eaton.eu
Basic information
Capacitive Proximity
Sensors
Capacitive proximity sensors basically
have the same function as inductive
proximity sensors, but their detection
method is considerably different.
Capacitive Proximity Sensors
Capacitive proximity sensors are
designed to detect both metallic and
nonmetallic targets. They are ideally
suited for liquid level control and for
sensing powdered or granulated
material.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Consider these strengths and weak-
nesses of the capacitive proximity
sensor:
Strengths
• Can detect both metallic and non-
metallic objects at greater ranges
than inductive sensors.
• High switching rate for rapid
response applications (counting).
• Can detect liquid targets through
non-metallic barriers (glass, plas-
tic).
• Long operation life, solid-state out-
put for “bounce free” signals
Weaknesses
• Affected by varying temperature,
humidity and moisture
• Not as accurate as inductive prox-
imity sensors
Scopes of application
Here are some examples showing
how the detection power of capacitive
proximity sensors is used:
• Detecting liquid levels in order to
prevent overfilling and dry-running
is a frequent application in the
packaging industry.
• Checking material quantities in
order to make sure, for example,
that the label roll on a labeling line
is not completely used up.
• Counting applications, such as
tracking units passing a point on a
conveyor.
• Injection molding machines: detect-
ing the fill level of the plastic gran-
ules in the feed hopper.
Capacitive Proximity Sensor
Operation
A capacitor consists of two metal
plates separated by a insulator (called
a dielectric). The function of this type
of sensor is based on dielectric
capacitance, which is the ability of a
dielectric to store an electrical
charge.
The distance between the plates
determines the ability of the capacitor
to store a charge.
The capacitance value changes when
an object enters the electric field. This
change is evaluated for the switching
function.
Capacitor
aPlates
bDielectric
When this principle is applied to the
capacitive proximity sensor, one
capacitive plate is part of the switch,
the enclosure (the sensor face) is the
insulator. The target is the other
“plate.” Earth is the common path.
Capacitive proximity sensors can
detect any target that has a dielectric
constant greater than air. Liquids have
high dielectric constants. Metal also
makes a good target.
The capacitive proximity sensor has
four basic elements: a sensor (which
is a dielectric), an oscillator circuit, a
detector circuit and an output circuit.
When an object approaches the sen-
sor, the capacitor's permittivity
changes and the vibration in the oscil-
lator circuit starts. This means that
capacitive sensors work exactly the
opposite way as inductive proximity
sensors, in which the vibration is
damped when a target object
approaches.
Oscillator Damping
Inductive
I = Current in oscillator circuit
The detector circuit monitors the
oscillator’s output. When it detects
sufficient change in the field, it
switches on the output circuit.
Capacitive
I = Current in oscillator circuit
The output circuit remains active until
the target leaves the sensing field. The
oscillator then responds by reducing
the amplitude. The detector circuit is
switched off if the change in the elec-
tric field becomes too small.
The internally fixed difference
between the vibration's ON and OFF
amplitudes forms the hysteresis.

Capacitive Proximity Sensor Operation
Capacitive Proximity Sensor Influences
Typically, capacitive sensors have a
greater sensing range than inductive
sensors.
Sensing distance for capacitive prox-
imity sensors is dependent on plate
diameter. With inductive proximity
sensors, the size of the coil is the
determining factor.
Typical Proximity
Sensing Ranges
Sensitivity Adjustment
Most capacitive proximity sensors are
equipped with sensitivity adjustment
potentiometers. In inductive sensors,
the coil size is the decisive factor.
Since the sensor measures a dielec-
tric gap, the sensing range needs to be
adjusted in line with the various rele-
vant ambient conditions.
Target Material and Size
A capacitive sensor should not be
hand-held during set up. Because your
hand has a dielectric constant greater
than air, the sensor may detect your
hand rather than the intended target.
Capacitive sensors can detect both
ferrous and non- ferrous materials
equally well. There is no derating fac-
tor to be applied when sensing metal
targets. But, other materials do affect
the sensing range.
Because they can be used to detect
liquid through a nonmetallic material
such as glass or plastic, you need to
ensure that the sensor detects just the
liquid, not the container. The transpar-
ency of the container has no effect on
the sensing.
For all practical purposes, the target
size can be determined in the same
manner as was discussed in “Target
Size” on Page page 104 for inductive
proximity sensors.
Environment
Many of the same factors that affect
inductive proximity sensors, also
affect capacitive sensors, only more
so.
• Embeddable mounting—capacitive
sensors are generally treated as
unscreened devices, and therefore,
are not embeddable.
• Deposits / chips: They are more
sensitive to metallic and nonmetallic
chips and residue.
• Adjacent sensors—more space
between devices is required due to
the greater, unscreened sensing
range
• Target background—because of
both the greater sensing range, and
its ability to sense metallic and non-
metallic materials, greater care in
applying these sensors is needed
when background conditions are
present
• Ambient atmosphere—the amount
of humidity in the air may cause a
capacitive sensor to operate even
when no target is present
• Welding magnetic fields—capaci-
tive sensors are generally not
applied in a welding environment
• Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI)—in the same way that induc-
tive proximity sensors are affected,
RFI interferes with capacitive sen-
sor circuitry

Light sensors
Light sensors can be used in a wide
variety of applications. They can
detect objects more quickly and at
longer distances than many compet-
ing technologies. This is why light sen-
sors have quickly become one of the
most frequently used automatic
detection methods in manufacturing.
Scopes of application
Some of the common uses for light
sensors
include:
• Material handling: A sensor can
ensure that products move along a
conveyor belt in an orderly manner.
The sensor will stop the operation if
a jam occurs. In addition, individual
objects can be counted as they
move down the flat conductor.
• Packaging: Sensors can check
whether containers have been
filled, labeled, and sealed correctly.
• Machine operation: Sensors can
monitor a machine's proper opera-
tion and ensure that the required
materials are present and that tools
are in good condition.
• Paper Industry: Sensors can detect
web flaws, web splice, clear web
and paper presence, while main-
taining high web speeds.
Design Flexibility
Light sensors are available in a wide
variety of designs. Sources and detec-
tors can be arranged in a multitude of
manners in order to meet the require-
ments of the application in question.
Operating modes
We will briefly introduce you to these
modes, and fully explain them later (→
Page 107).
Basic Operation of Light Sensors
The operation of the light sensor is
quite simple. A source light-emitting
diode (LED) sends a beam of light,
which is picked up by a photodetector.
When an object moves into the path of
the light beam, the object is detected.
Let’s look at how a light sensor works.
aPower supply
bModulator:
generates pulses to cycle ampli-
fier and LED at desired frequency.
cAmplifier
dLED
eLens
fTarget object or reflector
g⑧ Detector:
Either a photodiode or a photo-
transistor device, selected for a
maximum sensitivity at the source
LED’s emitted light wave-length.
Both the source LED and the
detector have protective lenses.
When the detector picks up the
light, it sends a small amount of
current to the detector amplifier.
hDetector Amplifier:
Blocks current generated by the
background light. It also provides
amplification of the signal
received to a usable level, and
sends it through to the demodu-
lator.
iDemodulator: Sorts out the light
thrown out by the detector from all
other light in the area. If the
demodulator decides the signals it
receives are okay, it signals the
output.
jOutput: Performs switching
routine when directed to do so by
the demodulator.

Operating mode Description Operating mode Description
Thru-beam photoelectric
sensors A source unit in one location sends a light beam
to a detector unit in another location. An object
is detected when it passes between the source
unit and the detector unit, interrupting the light
beam.
Diffuse reflective sensor The light source and the detector are located in a
single housing. If a target object moves in front of
the optical sensor, it will directly reflect the beam
of light back to the detector.
Polarized retroreflective
arrangement The light source and the detector are located in
a single housing. The emitted beam of light is
mirrored by the polarizing reflector with a phase
offset of 90°. The target object blocks the
polarized beam of light.
Background suppression
(Perfect Prox) This is a special type of diffuse reflective sensor
that consists of two detectors. This sensor offers
reliable detection of target objects in a defined
sensing range and at the same time ignores
objects outside of this range.

icant advantages:

Fiber Optics
Applying fiber optic technology to light
sensors means applications with
space restrictions are not a problem.
A fiber optic cable can detect objects
in locations too jammed for a standard
sensor. Fiber optic cable is available
in sizes as small as 0.002 inches (0.05
mm) in diameter.
Glass Fiber Optic Cable
aGlass fiber embedded in insulated
material
bStainless steel sheath
A glass fiber optic cable is made up of
a large number of individual glass
fibers, sheathed for protection against
damage and excess flexing.
Because light—rather than current—
travels down these cables, the signal
is unaffected by electromagnetic
interference (EMI) and vibration.
Fiber optics can withstand high tem-
peratures; standard glass up to 480°F
(249°C) and specialized high tempera-
ture versions up to 900°F (482°C).
Glass fibers can stand up to the harsh
wash-down chemicals used in many
food, beverage and pharmaceutical
applications.
However, glass fibers have their dis-
advantages. They have a limited sens-
ing distance, so they can be used only
in tight areas. The maximum distance
when using the thru-beam mode is 380
mm. In addition, these sensors have a
relatively small sensing field. Also,
small drops of water and dirt smudges
can affect glass fibers applications.
Modes of Detection
In most applications, light sensors
generate an output any time an object
is detected.
Light operated or dark operated
"Light operated" means that an output
signal will be generated if the light
sensor receives light.
"Dark operated" means that an output
signal will be generated if the light
sensor does not receive any light.

Operating modes
On page 107, we briefly discussed the
four basic operating modes used with

• Thru-beam photoelectric sensors
• Retroflective sensing sensor (polar-
ized)
• Diffuse reflective sensor
• Background suppression

Thru-beam photoelectric sensor
Source and detector units face one
another across an area. The column of
light traveling in a straight line
between the two lenses is the effec-
tive sensing beam. An object crossing
the path has to completely block the
beam to be detected.
Strengths:
• Long sensing distance (up to 800 ft)
• Highly reliable
• Can "see" through opaque objects.
Weaknesses:
• Two components to mount and
wire.
• Alignment could be difficult with a
longer distance detection zone.

Retroflective sensing sensor,
polarized
The source and detector are placed
on the same side of the object to be
detected, parallel to each other. A
reflector is on the other side. This
reflector sends the emitted light back
to the detector.
When a target object passes between
the source/detector unit and the
reflector, the beam is no longer
reflected, and the target is sensed.
The target has to block the entire
beam.
In certain cases, target objects with a
shiny surface can result in false posi-
tives by activating the retroflective
sensing sensor. A polarized retroflec-
tive sensing sensor can be used to
prevent this. The polarizing filter on
the sensor will ensure that the sensor
will only detect light that has been off-
set by the reflector with a phase offset
of 90°.
Strengths:
• Medium range sensing distance.
• Low cost.
• Ease of installation.
• Alignment does not need to be
exact.
• A polarizing filter can be used to
ensure that shiny surfaces will be
reliably detected.
Weaknesses:
• Reflector must be mounted.
• Problems detecting clear objects.
• Dirt on reflector can hamper opera-
tion.
• Not suitable for detecting small
objects.

Background suppression
(Perfect Prox)
This detection mode is a special type
of diffuse reflective sensor. It com-
bines extremely high sensing perfor-
mance with a sharp optical cut-off.
This enables the sensor to reliably
detect target objects independently of
their color, degree of reflection, con-
trast, and surface texture and ignore
objects that are immediately outside
the target range.
This method uses two different photo-
detectors. For the Perfect Prox unit
with a six-inch (150 mm) range, the
near detector has a range of 0 to 24
inches (0 to 610 mm). The far detector
has a range of 6 to 24 inches (150 to
610 mm).
Objects closer than six inches are
detected only by the near sensor.
Objects between 6 and 24 inches are
detected by both detectors.
If the near-detector signal is stronger
than the far-detector signal, the sen-
sor output will be ON. If the far-detec-
tor signal is stronger than or equal to
the near-detector signal, the sensor
output will be OFF. The result is a sen-
sor with a high light intensity differ-
ence over 150 mm combined with a
sharp cut-off.

Basic information 111
Excess gain
Definition
The term "excess gain" is used to indi-
cate a light sensor's excess light, i.e.,
the light that goes beyond the quantity
of light required to detect an object.
A excess gain of "1" for a specific
range means that the quantity of light
available is exactly enough to detect
an object within the range in perfect
conditions. In other words, the range
at which the light intensity difference
is "1" equals the sensor's maximum
range.
Every sensor model comes with a
excess gain diagram that can be used
to determine the excess gain for the
sensing distance used in a specific
application.
However, we have to take into consid-
eration the following real-world vari-
ables:
• Target size
• Target color
• Target surface texture
• Ability to block the beam of light
• Background
• Application environment
In the real world, there is contamina-
tion—dust, humidity and debris—that
can settle on the lenses and reduce
light transmission. Furthermore, each
individual target may vary slightly from
the next in color, reflectivity or dis-
tance from the sensor.
If you use a sensor with a excess gain
of exactly "1," it is highly likely that the
target object will not be detected reli-
ably. To be on the safe side, you will
need a sensor with the largest possi-
ble excess gain at the range you will
be using. This ensures the sensor will
continue to operate reliably when you
need it. If the degree of soling or pollu-
tion increases, you will need a larger
excess gain in order to compensate
for the decrease in "visibility."
Thru-beam photoelectric sensor
The excess gain for this type of sensor
is the easiest to measure. The excess
gain is almost exclusively a function of
the distance between the source and
detector.
When implementing the excess gain
for an application, start with the
excess gain chart for the thru-beam
sensor. Then consider:
• Misalignment of the two units.
• Dirt in the environment reduces
gain.
Typical Gain Curve for a Thru-Beam
If these sensors are spaced 30 ft (9 m)
apart, the excess gain at that distance
would be an excess gain of “10”.
Diffuse reflective sensor
Almost every diffuse reflective sensor
has a uniquely specific combination of
lenses and beam angles. Accordingly,
almost every sensor will have its own
specific excess gain curve.
Diffuse reflection ranges:

ple

Sensing range referenced to 90%
reflective white target.
The excess gain of a short-range sen-
sor is large within the focused range
and then decreases quickly. The
source's beam of light and the detec-
tor's field of view converge a short
distance behind the lenses. The
energy present in that area is very
high, allowing the detection of small
targets. The sensor will ignore objects
in the near background.
Short Range
In the case of a long-range sensor, the
source's beam of light and the detec-
tor's field of view will be close to each
other on the same shaft. The sensor's
detection capabilities will extend
across a larger distance. The excess
gain will peak a few centimeters away
from the sensor and then decrease
slowly as the distance increases.
Long range
To sense into holes or cavities, or to
pick up very small objects, use a
focused diffuse reflective sensor. Or,
a sensor with a very small light spot
size. The source and detector are
positioned behind the lens in order to
focus the energy to a point. The
excess gain is extremely high at this
point and then drops off on either side
of the sensing zone.
Retroflective sensing sensor
Calculating the excess gain for a
retroflective sensing sensor is done
with a method similar to that used for
diffuse reflective sensors.
With this type of sensor, excess gain
and range are related to the light
bouncing back from the reflector.
Maximum operating range also
depends upon lens geometry and
detector amplifier gain.
The effective beam is defined as the
actual size of the reflector surface.
The target must be larger than the
reflector before the sensor will recog-
nize the target and switch its output.

dRetro-reflector
Retroreflector / Corner cube
retroreflector
The range and excess gain of a retro-
reflector will depend on the reflector's
quality.
Retroreflectors deliver the highest
signal return to the sensor. A corner
reflector has 2,000- to 3,000 times the
reflectivity of white paper.
A retroreflector is made up of three
adjacent faces that are arranged at
right angles to each other (hollow
corner retroreflector).
Retro-reflector
aLight beam
When a ray of light strikes one of the
three adjoining sides, the ray is
reflected to the second side, then to
the third, and then back to its source
in a direction parallel to its original
course. Thousands of these prisms
are molded into a rugged plastic
reflector or vinyl tape material.

Basic information
There are reflectors made up of glass
beads placed on flat conductors that
are intended for use in dispensers for
package coding on conveyors. These
reflectors are also available in sheets,
and can be cut to size as necessary.
The bead surface is typically rated at
200 to 900 times the reflectivity of
white paper.
Only retroreflectors can be used with
polarized retroflective sensing sen-
sors. The light reflected by the prisms
in the corner cube retroreflector will
have a phase offset of 90°. The polar-
izing filters on the source and detector
will only let the light reflected by the
retroreflector through. Glass bead
reflectors cannot be used with polar-
ized retroflective sensing sensor.
Contrast
Contrast measures the ability of a light
sensor to detect an object. A sensor's
contrast is the ratio of the excess gain
in lighted conditions to the excess
gain in dark conditions. A ratio of 10:1
is desired. Contrast is important when
a sensor has to detect semi-transpar-
ent objects or extremely small objects.
Each operating mode handles con-
trast differently.
• Thru-beam photoelectric sensor
and retroflective sensing sensor
These operating modes are affected
by:
– Light permeability of an object or
surface
– Size of an object in relation to the
beam size
• Diffuse reflective sensor
This operating mode is affected by:
– Distance of the object or surface
from the sensor
– Color or material of the object or
surface
– Size of the object or surface
The ideal application provides infinite
contrast ratio of the detection event.
This is the case when 100% of the light
beam is blocked in the retroreflective
or thru-beam operating mode. For dif-
fuse sensing, this occurs when noth-
ing is present. Taking the contrast
ratio into account is important when
the above situation is not the case
(e.g., when detecting semitransparent
objects). In certain cases, it may be
necessary to use special low-contrast
sensors designed for the specific
application in question (e.g., featuring
a detector for transparent objects).
Environment
The list below ranks the level of pollu-
tion in a range of typical application
environments.
The excess gain required in order to
overcome atmospheric pollution will
be larger the further down the list you
go.
In addition, the light source and the
reflector used in retroflective sensing
sensors and thru-beam photoelectric
sensors may be located at different
spots with different degrees of pollu-
tion.
For outdoor use, the environment can
range from lightly dirty to extremely
dirty.
Level of Contamination Ranking
Sensor Output Circuits
Sensors interface to other control cir-
cuits through the output circuit. The
control voltage type is a determining
factor when considering output type.
Control voltage types, whether AC, DC
or AC/DC, can be categorized as
either load-powered sensor or line-
powered sensor.
Load-Powered—Two-Wire
Sensors
Load-powered devices are similar to
limit switches. They are connected in
series with the controlled load. These
devices have two connection points to
the circuit and are often referred to as
two-wire switches. The operating cur-
rent is drawn through the load.
Load powered/two-Wire switch
When the switch is not operated, it
must draw a minimum operating cur-
rent referred to as off-state leakage
current. Off-state leakage current is
also sometimes referred to as residual
current. This current is used to keep
the sensor electronics active while it
“looks” for a target. Residual current
is not a problem for loads such as
relays, motor starters, and so on (with
low impedance). However, loads such
as inputs of programmable logic con-
trollers with high impedance require a
leakage current of lower than 2 mA.
Currents larger than this may result in
input devices such as PLCs (program-
mable logic control) interpreting the
residual current as an ON signal. Most
sensors require a residual current of
1.7 mA. If a particular PLC requires
less than 1.7 mA, a load resistor can
be connected in parallel to the input
for the PLC load. The resistor lowers
the current seen by the PLC so it
doesn’t false trigger.
The current needed to sustain the
sensor when a target object is present
is called minimum load or holding cur-
rent. Depending on the specific sen-
sor specifications, this current will be
about 5 mA. The sensor will not work if
the current drawn by the load is not
large enough. Sensors with a 5 mA or
less minimum holding current can be
used with PLCs without concern.
Line-Powered—Three-Wire
Sensors
Line-powered sensors derive their
power from the line and not through
the load. They have three connection
points to the circuit, and are often
referred to as three-wire switches.
Line-powered/three-wire switches
The operating current the sensor pulls
from the line is 20 mA.
Two-Wire Sensors
Although most sensors are three-wire
devices, two-wire devices are also
required sometimes. They are
designed to be easy replacements for
limit switches without the need to
change wiring and logic.
Since two-wire sensors take their
operating power from the load circuit,
there is a voltage drop (approx. 7-9 V
in AC-powered devices) across the
switch when it is on.
If multiple two-wire switches are con-
nected in series with the load, the
voltage drop across the switches will
increase. If multiple two-wire sensors
are connected in parallel, the leakage
current will increase. This needs to be
taken into account when it comes to
activating PLC inputs, for example.

Worldwide export of machines
and plants
European machine and system building and worldwide exports are
closely related. Even if you don't export your machines at present,
you should be prepared for it in the future. Eaton provides switchgear
and protective devices with all the essential approvals and certificates
for machine and system building. In most countries around the world,
conformity with international standards is the sole requirement for
successful exports. This is because components in these locations
are governed by compliance with well known and established IEC
standards. In this respect, the European CE mark is not only the
passport for exports within Europe but also far beyond its borders.
World market equipment for machine building
Nearly all the switchgear and protective devices of Eaton's Moeller® series
are world market devices. Each product line thus carries all the approvals and
certification marks required for worldwide use.
These product lines include those for
• Pilot devices, limit switches
• Contactors and various timing and special relays
• Motor-protective circuit-breakers and relays
• Electronic components and systems.
With circuit-breakers and switch-disconnectors, Eaton offers IEC devices for
use in most countries in the world and NA devices with virtually the same
dimensions and the same accessories for the North American market. This
considerably simplifies device selection since the North American standards
often involve the need for considerably different technical specifications.

Electrical engineering products and their applications are not harmonized
internationally.
The greatest differences to the IEC world are in North Ame-
rica, i.e. the USA and Canada. For many newcomers to the
export business, it is initially surprising to experience the very
different approaches and solutions.
Special components, such as handles for main switches
that can only be operated by the intentional switching of an
additional handle when the control panel door is opened, may
sometimes be required for export to North America. Like-
wise, the European motor-protective circuit-breaker is only
accepted with an upstream protective device or with larger
air and creepage distances at the incoming terminals. Eaton
is the competent partner of choice for export-related issues
here.
Qualified information is a critical key to success
The Eaton Main Catalogue for Moeller® series products provides reliable
information for machine and panel builders on the approval of compo-
nents deployed for North American market. Each selection page provides
information such as the relevant product standard, the E-File Number, the
Category Control Number or the CSA Class Number. Many customers
incorporate this information in their parts lists in order to be well prepared
for the acceptance procedures.
Anyone wishing to avoid unfortunate experiences, should make
use beforehand of the large number of publications that Eaton
is offering on the issue of exports to North America. They con-
tain the implementation of the codes & standards and a descrip-
tion of different practices.
These technical articles can be accessed via
http://www.moeller.net/en/company/news/publications/index.jsp
They can be downloaded or ordered free of charge.
The link http://www.moeller.net/eaton-approbationen/en/index.jsp shows
the relevant approvals or permits for each component type. This therefore
enables you to view the certificates provided or, depending on the test
authority, also the product report. The information given is the same as
what is provided in the databases of the authorities.
Up to 13 data items are listed here for
each product, such as the suitability for
use in feeders or branch circuits, the
maximum operating voltage, or the North
American degree of protection, such as
UL / CSA Type 4X. The Main Catalogue
also contains a glossary with explanations
of the American terms.
