Schneider Electric XS4P30AB9D2 Inductive Proximity Switch

Schneider Electric XS4P30AB9D2 is a 1‑channel inductive proximity switch from the XS4 family designed for analog metal detection and distance measurement in industrial automation. It delivers a 4–20 mA proportional output for process control, positioning, and machine monitoring, with a sensing distance of 15 mm. This cylindrical M30 sensor sits in a PBT housing for non‑flush mounting in rugged environments, operates on 12–24 V DC, and terminates with a Molex 4‑pin connector on a 6 m cable. The device carries IP67 protection, ensuring resistance to dust and water ingress, and has a switching frequency of 300 Hz to track moving targets on conveyors, packaging lines, assembly equipment, or machine tools. Applications include providing continuous position feedback and distance measurements in automation systems, supporting analog feedback loops, process control, and equipment monitoring. The XS4P30AB9D2 is manufactured by Schneider Electric / Telemecanique Sensors and is CE, UL, and CSA certified. Common replacements include XS4P30AB340, XS4P30PB340D, and XS9C11RPB1L01M12 for compatibility with updated installations.
