Function

The inductive sensor detects metallic objects under the floor. For example, it is used for path control and precision positioning.

Assembly and connection

Installation of the inductive sensor is described in the manual:

Programming

The inductive sensor is evaluated via a digital or an analogue input at the I/O interface.

Technology

The inductive proximity sensor generates variously powerful output signals depending on whether it is moving along the middle or the edge of a metal strip. Path tracking can thus be controlled in a differentiated manner.

Technical documentation

An inductive sensor SIEA-M12B-UI-S supplied by Festo is included in the scope of delivery.
