The IES204 operates using an inductive sensing principle, detecting metallic targets without physical contact. When a suitable metallic object enters the sensing zone, the sensor changes the state of its PNP normally-closed output.
Its M8 × 1 threaded construction and 37.5 mm length provide a compact design for machine structures, fixtures and automation equipment where installation space is limited.
The sensor is designed for flush mounting, allowing it to be integrated neatly into compatible machine structures while maintaining the specified sensing performance.
The IES204 provides a 3 mm nominal sensing range and an increased sensing range design.
Its correction factor K=1 provides a uniform sensing range across different metallic materials, which can simplify sensor application and integration where multiple metal types may be detected.
The real sensing range is specified as 3 ± 10% mm, with an operating distance of 0–2.43 mm.
The sensor is also designed to provide immunity to magnetic fields, making it suitable for industrial applications where magnetic-field exposure can be a consideration.
The IES204 uses a DC PNP normally-closed output, making it suitable for compatible PLCs, industrial controllers and automation systems.
The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC and supports a permanent switching current of 200 mA. Its maximum switching frequency is 2000 Hz, making it suitable for fast repetitive detection tasks in automated machinery.
The IES204 is supplied with a 2 m PUR cable and uses a 3-wire electrical connection.
The cable construction is specified as 2 m PUR, 3 × 0.14 mm², with the documented wire colours being black, brown and blue. This provides a practical direct-wired connection for compatible industrial control systems.
The IES204 can be incorporated into a wide range of Industrial Automation UAE applications requiring reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects.
