Schneider Electric XS2-M30MA230 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XS2-M30MA230 inductive proximity sensor is a non-contact switch that detects metallic objects in industrial automation, providing position feedback on moving parts without touching them. Part of the XS2 family, this cylindrical M30 sensor uses a nickel-plated brass housing and comes with a 2 m cable for easy integration, designed for non-flush mounting in harsh environments. It features a normally open, 2-wire output with AC/DC compatibility and a wide supply range of 24–240 V AC / 24–210 V DC; rated currents of 5–300 mA AC / 5–200 mA DC. Its sensing distance is 15 mm, IP68 protection, and a rated frequency of 1000 Hz DC, making it suitable for conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly lines, and machine tools where reliable object detection and position sensing are required. Certifications include CE, UL, and CSA. Common replacements include XS2M30MA250, XS4P30MA230, and XS1M30MA230.
