E59 iProx programmable inductive proximity sensors

Tough-built sensor

These unique, adaptable, field-programmable sensors use exclusive SmartSense technology – featuring an embedded microprocessor – to perform special sensing functions at extended ranges. These capabilities include programmable attributes such as sensing range, output types, contact types, response time and noise immunity. No other sensor on the market offers such extensive programmability.

Core features of E59 iProx programmable inductive proximity sensors

  • Exclusive SmartSense technology performs band sensing, position sensing, and background rejection and allows for an adjustable sensing range
  • The robust design is ideal for extreme temperatures or environments with high-pressure washdown
  • High noise immunity of 20 V per metre prevents many problems associated with electrical noise
  • The auto-configure output automatically detects the sensor's wiring configuration and shifts the sensor into NPN or PNP mode as required
  • 360-degree, dual-colour output LED indicator provides easy viewing and simplified machine troubleshooting
  • Through unique, embedded programming features, the range can be adjusted and the unit can be set up for band sensing or background metal rejection
  • Simple yet powerful programming tools and improved iProx software for Microsoft Windows and Windows mobile devices make customising the iProx sensor easy
  • Once an iProx customised programme is developed by a controls engineer, sensors can be programmed at the Eaton factory so they arrive reconfigured to the exact specifications required by the OEM
