The KG6000 is an IO-Link capacitive sensor with programmable output behavior. It provides a 0.5–30 mm adjustable sensing range with a 15 mm factory setting. PNP/NPN output configuration and NO/NC switching can be managed through the sensor interface. The M18 × 1 plastic housing supports non-flush mounting. IP65/IP67/IP69K protection makes it suitable for dry bulk solids and fluid applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KG6000 provides a 0.5–30 mm adjustable sensing range. Its 15 mm factory setting provides a practical starting point. The output function can be configured as normally open or normally closed. PNP/NPN behavior can also be parameterized through IO-Link. This makes one sensor adaptable to multiple control architectures.
The sensor uses IO-Link 1.1 with COM2 communication. It supports process data and device diagnostics. A minimum process cycle of 20 ms supports responsive machine monitoring. Parameter functions include operating hours and switching-point settings. This provides centralized digital sensor management.
The sensor is rated IP65, IP67, and IP69K. This provides protection for demanding industrial environments. Its operating temperature range is -25 to 80°C. The M18 × 1 plastic threaded housing supports non-flush installation. The sensor is suitable for dry bulk solids and fluids.
