Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60PKM1TI Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60PKM1TI is a long-range M30 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic sensor designed for continuous distance measurement and object detection in industrial automation applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD series, it combines a 0–10 V analogue output with a configurable PNP digital switching output for flexible integration with PLC and machine-control systems.
The UA30CAD60PKM1TI provides a wide 350–6000 mm sensing range with a blind zone of up to 350 mm. The analogue output provides continuous distance information, while the PNP output can be configured for switching duties, enabling measurement and discrete control from the same sensor.
Operating from a 15–30 V DC supply, the sensor features a durable M30 PBT housing with Ø40 mm front, an M12 connector and teach-in configuration. Its IP67 protection, integrated electrical protection and -20 to +70 °C operating temperature range make it suitable for demanding distance, level and process-control applications.

Reliable Long-Range Ultrasonic Measurement
The Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60PKM1TI measures target distance by transmitting ultrasonic pulses and evaluating the returning echo. Because ultrasonic detection uses sound rather than visible light, it can reliably detect many materials regardless of variations in colour, contrast or optical appearance.
Its 0–10 V analogue output provides continuous distance information for compatible PLC analogue inputs and controllers, while the PNP switching output supplies a discrete control signal. This dual-output architecture makes the sensor particularly useful where both measurement and switching are required from one sensing point.
Typical Applications
- Tank, hopper and vessel level measurement.
- Continuous distance and position monitoring.
- Roll and reel diameter measurement.
- Loop-control applications.
- Packaging and material handling machinery.
- Conveyor and automated production systems.
- Industrial process-control applications.
- PLC systems requiring both 0–10 V measurement and PNP switching.
