Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N22M1IO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB30L50N22M1IO is an advanced M30 inductive proximity sensor with IO-Link designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB IO-Link inductive sensor series, it combines extended-range sensing, intelligent configuration and a robust long-body construction for demanding industrial applications.
This sensor provides a maximum rated operating distance of 22 mm with non-flush mounting. Its IO-Link functionality enables the sensing distance to be configured to 33%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the maximum range, while the electrical output can be configured as PNP, NPN or push-pull with normally open or normally closed switching behaviour.
With a 10–36 V DC supply, maximum output current of 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 1 kHz, the ICB30L50N22M1IO provides responsive sensing for position, presence and rotational speed monitoring. Its nickel-plated brass M30 housing, M12 connector and IP67 protection rating provide a durable and convenient sensing solution for modern automated machinery.

Intelligent Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects through an electromagnetic sensing field, providing reliable position and presence detection without physical contact with the target. This contactless operating principle minimises mechanical wear and supports repeatable sensing across high-cycle production machinery, conveyors and automated handling systems.
The ICB30L50N22M1IO adds IO-Link functionality to conventional inductive sensing, enabling configuration of sensing distance, switching behaviour, hysteresis and timer functions. IO-Link also supports enhanced diagnostic functions such as temperature monitoring, helping machine builders create more flexible, maintainable and intelligent automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Metal component presence and position detection.
- Rotational speed monitoring.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly and manufacturing equipment.
- IO-Link enabled smart machinery and automation systems.
