Proximity Sensor DC 3-wire/DC 2-wire
last update: January 5, 2023
Enables designs with more distance between the sensor and the sensing object, thereby reducing unexpected facility stoppages due to collision and false detection, which occurred with previous proximity sensors.
*1. Based on August 2022 OMRON investigation.
With previous models, to avoid false detections, you were forced to adopt sensor installation designs that risked contact. The E2E NEXT PREMIUM Proximity Sensor can detect accurately from a greater distance, which means you can adopt designs with more space and less risk of contact.
Proximity sensors with longer sensing distance require increased sensitivity. However, with the increased sensitivity, temperature changes will have bigger influence in sensing distance, and differences between individual sensors will be bigger. E2E NEXT Proximity Sensors (3-wire models) solve these issues by newly implementing Thermal Distance Control 2, a technology to enable extended sensing ranges. It enables in-line measurements of each sensor’s temperature characteristics, using multiple temperature points, in IoT-enabled production processes. The optimal correction values are then calculated based on our unique algorithm. The values are written into the analog digital hybrid IC (PROX3) for shipping to minimize differences between sensors and the influence of temperature changes that may occur in the customer’s environments.
Ensures equivalent sensing distance while being one size smaller than previous models. Equipment and facilities formerly designed to use sensors of multiple sizes can now be designed to use sensors that are all the same size, allowing you to standardize your designs.
E2E NEXT PREMIUM Model Proximity Sensors ensure equivalent sensing distance while being one size smaller than previous models, allowing you to install them in spaces where conventional sensors were too big to fit.
Note: When installing proximity sensors, make sure to factor the influence of surrounding metal into your designs.
(Refer to Influence of Surrounding Metal upon Design on Catalog for details.)

Less time required from failure to recovery (MTTR: Mean Time To Recovery).
By using the IO-Link Master to connect proximity sensors to your controller, you can use your monitor (HMI) for early discovery of the site and substance of proximity sensor failures.
Connecting sensors with controllers using IO-Link Master enables to send information necessary for stable operation to host devices. This enables condition monitoring and failure detection of sensors, which in turn contribute to predictive maintenance of equipment and facilities. You can also increase the productivity of your facility by accumulating information in databases and feeding analysis results back to equipment on the site.

Less time required from failure to recovery (MTTR: Mean Time To Recovery).
Adopts high-brightness LED that is more luminous and visible than those in previous models. The indicator is visible from all angles, reducing the time required for operation checks after sensor replacement.
