Special-Purpose Sensors
Special-purpose sensors are a product group that brings together sensors designed for a specific sensing task that standard inductive, capacitive and photoelectric sensors do not cover. They are used to report the closed position of machine guards and doors to the safety circuit, to catch a transparent label, to distinguish a color mark, and to detect a metal part passing through a fork gap. The category includes ABB Adam and Eva non-contact safety sensors and their M12 connection cables, as well as an Isıso transparent label sensor, color sensor and fork-type inductive sensor. For the safety sensor, compare with the manufacturer data the pairing of Adam with Eva, compatibility with the safety module and the M12 connection cable; for the label, color and fork sensors, compare the sensing range and the NPN or PNP output. The data for the ABB products states IP67 and IP69K degrees of protection. A standard inductive or magnetic sensor is not a substitute for a non-contact safety sensor designed for door monitoring; the safety function is provided together with a compatible safety module.

How to choose Special-Purpose Sensors
Special-purpose sensors are a product group that brings together sensors designed for a specific sensing task that standard inductive, capacitive and photoelectric sensors do not cover. They are used to report the closed position of machine guards and doors to the safety circuit, to catch a transparent label, to distinguish a color mark, and to detect a metal part passing through a fork gap.
- Separate sensing, motion control, logic processing and operator interface requirements.
- Select signal type, supply voltage, communication protocol and I/O count for the machine network.
- Verify housing size, sensing distance and PNP/NPN output polarity against the PLC input card.
