Part of the Schneider Electric OsiSense XS series, the XS118BLNAM12 is a cylindrical M18 inductive proximity sensor engineered for non-contact detection of metallic targets. This sensor is designed for general-purpose industrial automation, commonly integrated into machine control systems for position sensing and object presence verification.

Technical details

• Sensor Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor
• Series: OsiSense XS
• Housing Style: Cylindrical M18
• Detection Principle: Non-contact, inductive
• Target Material: Ferrous and non-ferrous metals (detection range varies by material)
• Output Type: NAMUR (typically requires an intrinsically safe barrier or safety relay for connection to PLC inputs)
• Connection Type: M12 connector (4-pin)
• Operating Voltage: Typically 8.2V DC (NAMUR standard, requires external power supply via safety barrier)

Applications & compatibility

The Schneider XS118BLNAM12 is suitable for integration into hazardous area applications or systems requiring intrinsically safe sensor operation. It is commonly found in process industries, chemical plants, and any environment where standard voltage sensors cannot be safely deployed. Its M18 form factor allows for easy mounting in standard sensor brackets and housings.
