The IFM KG5069 is an IO-Link capacitive sensor designed for conductive-media detection. It provides an 8 mm sensing range with programmable normally open and normally closed operation. The sensor uses a PNP output and operates from 10 to 36 V DC. Its M18 × 1 threaded housing provides compact non-flush installation. IO-Link, teach functionality and electronic locking provide advanced commissioning and maintenance capabilities.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG5069 is optimized for conductive media with dielectric constants greater than 20. This makes it suitable for liquids and other highly conductive materials. The 8 mm sensing range supports close-range detection. The output can be programmed as NO or NC. Capacitive sensing provides non-contact operation.
The sensor provides IO-Link communication through COM1 at 4.8 kBaud. SIO mode allows conventional switching operation. Digital parameterization simplifies commissioning and service. The sensor supports teach functionality and electronic locking. These features make it suitable for modern automation systems.
The sensor uses an M18 × 1 threaded body with approximately 77 mm length. It is non-flush mountable and protected to IP65/IP67. A yellow LED ring provides switching-status indication. The sensor uses the S2T cable configuration. Its threaded construction provides secure machine installation.
