The IFM MN205S is a magnetically coded safety sensor designed for reliable position monitoring of machine guards, safety doors and movable protective devices. Based on the MN16005 sensor family, it provides dependable coded detection with a 5 mm sensing range and two normally open potential-free outputs. Its 6 m cable configuration simplifies connection where greater installation distance is required, making it suitable for industrial safety monitoring and automated machinery.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MN205S is designed to detect the correct position of a coded magnetic actuator in safety-related machine applications. The sensor provides dependable switching when a protective guard or door reaches its defined position. Its rectangular construction allows convenient installation near machine guarding structures. The 6 m cable configuration is useful for installations where the sensor is positioned away from the control cabinet. The design supports continuous industrial safety monitoring.
The sensor provides a 5 mm sensing range with a defined coded actuator and uses two normally open potential-free outputs. Its 24 V DC operation supports integration with industrial safety circuits. The 150 Hz switching frequency enables responsive position detection, while the 10 ms safety response time supports fast monitoring of safety requests. The compact housing and IP67 protection are suited to demanding machinery environments.
The MN205S is suitable for repeated monitoring of machine access points and protective guards. Its safety-oriented design supports dependable operation in industrial environments subject to vibration, shock and contamination. The sensor operates from -25 to 80 °C and provides IP67 protection. The 6 m cable helps simplify installation by providing extended connection reach. It can be integrated with compatible safety evaluation equipment for safety-related control applications.
