Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD30CNB20NAIS Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PD30CNB20NAIS is a compact and reliable diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor with adjustable background suppression designed for precise object detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD30 photoelectric sensor series, it combines a sensing range of up to 200 mm with infrared sensing technology and a space-saving rectangular housing.
The PD30CNB20NAIS uses 850 nm infrared light and adjustable background suppression to distinguish the required target from surfaces positioned farther behind it. Its NPN transistor output with complementary NO + NC switching and light/dark switching functionality provide flexible integration with compatible PLCs, machine controllers and industrial automation equipment.
With a 10–30 V DC supply, 500 Hz switching frequency and compact approximately 10 × 30 × 20 mm format, the PD30CNB20NAIS is well suited to confined machine installations requiring fast, dependable object detection. This version features a 2 m fixed cable, an ABS housing and IP67 protection for industrial use.

Reliable Background-Suppressed Object Detection
Diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensing detects an object from light returned directly from its surface, eliminating the need for a separate reflector or receiver. Adjustable background suppression improves detection by allowing the sensor to distinguish the intended target from more distant surfaces, making it particularly useful where machine structures, conveyors or other objects are located behind the detection point.
The Carlo Gavazzi PD30 series combines compact dimensions with integrated electronics and industrial protection. The PD30CNB20NAIS is particularly suitable for machinery requiring short-range object presence and position monitoring, while its complementary NPN outputs and 500 Hz switching capability support flexible integration into automated processes.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyor object detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Component presence and position monitoring.
- Assembly and material handling equipment.
- Automated counting and inspection systems.
- Small-part detection in automated machinery.
- PLC-controlled machinery and factory automation.
