Allen Bradley 871C series miniature inductive proximity sensors are self-contained, solid-state devices designed to sense the presence of ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects without touching them. These small-barrel sensors are designed for space-critical applications where standard-size sensors simply will not fit. IO-Link enabled sensors offer advanced features and diagnostics including Automatic Device Configuration, multiple profiles, trending, descriptive tags, and device-specific parameters

IO-Link communication

Reliably identify ferrous and non-ferrous metals with this smooth-barrel proximity sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley series. It comes with an IO-Link communication protocol for easy integration into the Connected Enterprise. Install it with an IO-Link master (817-1598) to process data and receive real-time diagnostics. Thanks to its small dimensions of 4 (D) x 25mm (L), this unit fits into tight or hard-to-reach spaces. For longevity, it has built-in reverse polarity, false pulse and short-circuit protection to prevent damage caused by electrical surges.

• Standard 3-pin M8 connector for fast installation in your existing setup
• 5kHz switching frequency lets you quickly detect materials and take measurements
• Broad operating temperature range between -25°C and +70°C for use in harsh environments

• CE Marked
• NEMA 1, 2, 3, 4, 12 and 13
• cULus
• IEC 529

You can use this sensor in demanding indoor and outdoor setups thanks to its corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing. It's IP67-rated, meaning it's dustproof and waterproof. This robust housing also comes with several NEMA ratings, indicating the product is safe to use in industrial environments where oils and chemicals are present.
