... AC or AC/DC sensorsare often operated with arelay or contactor as theload.AC switching devices(contactors/relays) create asignificantly higher load(6...10 × rated current) whenthey are first energized ascompared with their staticoperation due to the factthat the core is still open.The static value of the load(current) is not reached untilseveral milliseconds later.

... is achieved in Balluffsensors using pulsing orthermal short circuit protec-tion circuits. The outputstage is thereby protectedagainst overload and short

circuit. The threshold currentof the short circuit protectionis greater than the ratedoperating current Ie. Currentsfrom switching and loadcapacitance do not trigger

this function, but rather aremasked by a short delaytime.

Not until the magnetic fieldis closed does the max.permissible rated operatingcurrent Ie flow through thesensor.This means that the thresh-old value for a short circuitcondition in these sensorsmust lie significantly higherand would, if for examplethe contactor is preventedfor mechanical or electricalreasons from fully closing,result in an overload on thesensors. This is where theoverload protection comesinto play. It is designed witha time delay, and its thresh-old is just slightly higherthan the max. permissible Ie.

A response (i. e. turn-off) isdelayed depending on themagnitude of the overloadby more than 20milliseconds. This ensuresthat properly working relaysand contactors can beswitched normally, whiledefective devices will notdestroy the Balluff sensor.The short circuit/overloadprotection is generally of abi-stable design, whichmeans that it must be resetby turning off the supplyvoltage to the sensor.

Axial and radial damping

When damping in an axialdirection the standardtarget is moved concentricto the system axis.The switchpoint is thusdetermined only by thedistance "s" from the"sensing face". Whendamping in radial direction,the location of the switch-point is additionally affectedby the radial distance "r"from the system axis.

The diagram shows theresponse curves, whichshow the relationshipbetween the switchpointof "s" and "r".

The vertical axis in thediagram shows the distanceof the switchpoint from thesensing face. It is refer-enced to the nominal sen-sing distance sn (see page1.0.10). For an M18 switch,for example, with a nominalsensing distance sn = 8 mm,the number 0.4 corresponds

Standardization

The curves are shown instandardized form, i. e. theaxis sections are referencedto a generally valid nominalvalue (rated switchingdistance sn and radius ofthe "sensing face" r).This means that the curvesfor various switch diametersand switching distances areto a large degree compen-sated.The primary purpose ofthis drawing is to showthe possibility of dampingfrom lateral approach andthe difference comparedwith axial approach

Application

Due in part to manufacturingtolerances within aproduction run, the exactswitchpoint must in anycase be established on site.The solid lines represent therespective switchpoint (E),the dashed lines indicate theturn-off point (A). The redlines apply to switches witha clear zone, and the blacklines for flush mount types.Since the switchingoperation can be inducedfrom either direction, thecurves are shown mirroredfrom the system axis.

Examples

Passing objects onconveyor lines generate asignal change when theirfront edge crosses the turn-on curve on the entry side.The signal reverses againwhen the back edge ofthe passing object crossesthe turn-off curve on theopposite side.

In the case of reversingparts (e. g. end of travel),the signal reversal occursat the turn-off curve on thesame side.

The horizontal axis in thediagram is referenced to theradius of the sensing face(see page 1.0.2). The zeropoint of this axis lies in thecenter of the shell core cap.In our example for theM18 switch, the radius isr = 9 mm.

to a switching distance of0.4×8 mm = 3.2 mm.At this distance, a laterallyapproaching target reachesthe solid line turn-on curveat point "E" and leaves theturn-off curve at point "A".

The standardized distanceof the turn-on and turn-offpoints (from the system axis)is:"E" ~ 0.46 resp. "A" ~ 0.49.The absolute values of thepoints are calculated as:E = 9 mm×0.46 = 4.14 mm,A = 9 mm×0.49 = 4.41 mm.

SP cable is a crossirradiated PUR cable that isgood resistant to weldsplatter.

A special connection cable isused for sensors that needto be used at higher ambienttemperatures.

Removal clearance

See data sheets or sensorpackaging

The removal clearance refersto the clearance which mustbe allowed for removing theconnector without difficulty.It results from the connector

Tightening torques
