The IFM KG5067 is an IO-Link capacitive sensor with automatic PNP/NPN load detection. It provides an 8 mm sensing range and selectable normally open or normally closed output behavior. The sensor operates from 10 to 36 V DC and uses an M18 × 1 threaded housing. IO-Link communication supports digital parameterization and diagnostics. A 2 m PVC cable provides a three-wire industrial connection.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG5067 can automatically detect the connected load and select PNP or NPN behavior. This provides flexibility when integrating the sensor into different control architectures. The output function can also be selected between normally open and normally closed. The 8 mm sensing range supports close-range material detection. This configuration reduces the need for separate PNP and NPN variants.
The sensor supports IO-Link revision 1.1 and COM1 communication at 4.8 kBaud. SIO mode is available for conventional switching operation. The minimum process cycle time is approximately 101 ms. Teach functionality and electronic locking are provided. Digital parameterization simplifies commissioning and maintenance.
The KG5067 uses an M18 × 1 threaded housing with 77 mm length. It is non-flush mountable and protected to IP65/IP67. A yellow LED ring provides switching-status indication. The 2 m PVC cable uses three 0.34 mm² conductors. The sensor includes fixing nuts for installation.

Automatic load detection makes the KG5067 suitable for control systems using either PNP or NPN inputs. This can simplify spare-parts management. Programmable NO/NC behavior further expands its use. IO-Link provides digital configuration capabilities. The sensor is therefore useful for flexible machine designs.
The LED ring provides visible switching feedback. IO-Link allows parameterization and diagnostic access. Electronic locking can prevent unintended parameter changes. Teach functionality supports fast commissioning. These features improve serviceability and reduce setup effort.
