4. സജ്ജീകരണവും ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷനും

4.1 മൗണ്ടിംഗ്

1. ലൊക്കേഷൻ തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുക: Choose a mounting location where the sensor can reliably detect the target object within its 7 mm detection range.
2. ഫ്ലഷ് മ ing ണ്ടിംഗ്: The M18 sensor is designed for flush mounting. Ensure the sensing face is flush with the surrounding metallic material to prevent interference.
3. സുരക്ഷിതമായ ഉറപ്പിക്കൽ: Use appropriate mounting hardware to securely fasten the sensor. The cylindrical housing typically uses nuts for secure installation through a panel or bracket.
4. ഇടപെടൽ ഒഴിവാക്കുക: Ensure there are no other metallic objects within the sensor's active zone that could cause false triggers, apart from the intended target.

4.2 വയറിംഗ്

The sensor utilizes a 4-pin M12 connector. Refer to the following general wiring diagram. Always consult the specific wiring diagram provided with your sensor for exact pin assignments.

• പിൻ 1: +V (10-36 V DC)
• പിൻ 3: 0 V (GND)
• പിൻ 4: Output (Switching Signal)
• പിൻ 2: (May be unused or used for additional functions depending on sensor variant)

Connect the M12 connector securely to the sensor. Ensure the cable is routed to prevent damage from moving parts or sharp edges.

5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Once properly installed and wired, the Balluff M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor operates automatically. When a metallic object enters the sensor's detection range (7 mm), the sensor's output will switch state. The specific output type (NPN or PNP, normally open or normally closed) depends on the sensor variant. Refer to the product label or datasheet for your specific sensor's output configuration.

• പവർ ഓൺ: Apply the specified DC voltage (10-36 V) to the sensor.
• കണ്ടെത്തൽ: Move a metallic target object towards the sensing face.
• ഔട്ട്പുട്ട് സിഗ്നൽ: Observe the change in the output signal (e.g., via a connected PLC input or indicator light) when the target is detected.
• ക്രമീകരണം: If necessary, adjust the target's position or the sensor's mounting to achieve reliable detection within the desired operating point.

6. പരിപാലനം

The Balluff M18 Inductive Proximity Sensor is designed for minimal maintenance due to its robust construction and IP67 rating. However, regular checks can ensure optimal performance and longevity.

• വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ: Periodically clean the sensing face to remove any accumulated dust, dirt, or debris that could affect detection. Use a soft, damp തുണി. ഉരച്ചിലുകളുള്ള ക്ലീനറുകളോ ലായകങ്ങളോ ഉപയോഗിക്കരുത്.
• കേബിളും കണക്ടറും പരിശോധിക്കൽ: Inspect the cable and M12 connector for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections. Ensure the connector is securely tightened.
• മൗണ്ടിംഗ് സെക്യൂരിറ്റി: Verify that the sensor remains securely mounted and has not shifted from its intended position.
• പ്രവർത്തന പരിശോധന: Periodically test the sensor's function by presenting a known metallic target to ensure it is switching correctly.
