Turck Bi15W-CM40-FDZ30X2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Turck BI15W-CM40-FDZ30X2 is a shielded inductive proximity sensor that non‑contactly detects metallic objects and provides machine position sensing in harsh industrial environments, featuring a 15 mm sensing distance. The CM40 rectangular housing is flush‑mountable and built from reinforced PBT-GF30‑V0 plastic, suitable for integration into conveyors, packaging machinery, automotive production equipment, transfer systems, and material handling lines that require universal AC/DC operation and programmable switching outputs. It supports universal power with 20–250 VAC or 10–300 VDC supply, and offers programmable output in a 2‑wire AC/DC configuration, with a maximum operating current of 400 mA (AC) or 300 mA (DC) and a minimum operating current of 3 mA. The device switches at 20 Hz and includes protection against reverse polarity and short circuits, plus IP67 ingress protection and a operating temperature range of −25°C to +70°C. LED indicators provide dual status signals, and the unit uses a terminal chamber electrical connection for straightforward installation. Typical applications include part presence detection, end‑of‑travel monitoring, machine positioning, and product verification in PLC‑controlled manufacturing environments. Common replacements include Turck BI15W-CM40-FZ3X2, BI15U-CP40-FDZ30X2-S10, and BI15-CP40-FDZ30X2-S10.
