The IFM MN500S magnetically coded sensor is designed for reliable safety-related position monitoring of machine guards, doors and protective devices. With an 8 mm sensing range using a defined actuator, two normally open potential-free outputs and 24 V DC operation, it provides dependable detection for industrial automation systems. Its 88 x 13.1 x 25 mm rectangular housing provides a practical mounting format for machine safety applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MN500S is a magnetically coded safety sensor developed for reliable detection of protective equipment position. It uses a coded actuator to ensure controlled switching when the monitored guard or door reaches the defined sensing position. The larger 8 mm sensing range provides installation flexibility compared with compact magnetic safety sensors. Its rectangular housing is suitable for mounting on machine structures. The sensor is intended for continuous safety-related operation.
The sensor provides an 8 mm sensing range with a defined actuator and two normally open potential-free outputs. Its 24 V DC supply and protection class III support integration into suitable safety circuits. The rectangular 88 x 13.1 x 25 mm design provides a stable mounting format. A 150 Hz switching frequency and 10 ms response time support responsive safety detection.
The MN500S is suitable for machine guarding and access protection applications requiring reliable coded magnetic detection. Its robust housing supports installation on automated machinery and industrial production equipment. The sensor can monitor whether guards, covers or doors are correctly positioned. IP67 protection helps protect the device against dust and water exposure. It can be combined with compatible safety evaluation systems.
