series introduction

# Introduction to the BI2 - M12 - VN6X - H1141 Product Series

## Overview
The BI2 - M12 - VN6X - H1141 product series represents a cutting - edge range of inductive proximity sensors engineered to meet the diverse and demanding requirements of modern industrial automation. These sensors are designed to detect the presence or absence of metallic objects without physical contact, offering high reliability, precision, and durability in a wide variety of applications.

## Key Features

### 1. Compact Design
The M12 form factor of the BI2 - M12 - VN6X - H1141 series is a significant advantage. With its small size, these sensors can be easily integrated into tight spaces within industrial machinery and equipment. This compactness allows for flexible installation in areas where larger sensors would be impractical, enabling seamless integration into existing or new automation systems.

### 2. High - Precision Detection
These inductive proximity sensors are capable of detecting metallic objects with exceptional precision. They can accurately sense the presence of targets within a defined sensing range, ensuring reliable operation in applications where precise object detection is crucial. The high - precision detection capabilities make them suitable for tasks such as part counting, position sensing, and quality control in manufacturing processes.

### 3. Robust Construction
The sensors in the BI2 - M12 - VN6X - H1141 series are built to withstand harsh industrial environments. They are constructed with high - quality materials that offer excellent resistance to mechanical stress, vibration, and shock. Additionally, they are protected against dust and moisture, with an appropriate ingress protection (IP) rating, ensuring long - term reliability even in challenging conditions such as those found in factories, warehouses, and outdoor industrial settings.

### 4. Versatile Output Options
The VN6X - H1141 variant provides versatile output options. It can be configured to provide either a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) output, allowing for easy integration with different types of control systems. This flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from simple on - off control to more complex automation tasks.

### 5. EMC Compatibility
The product series is designed to be electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliant. This means that the sensors can operate without interference in environments with high levels of electromagnetic noise, such as those near motors, transformers, and other electrical equipment. EMC compatibility ensures stable and reliable performance, reducing the risk of false detections and system malfunctions.

## Technical Specifications

### 1. Sensing Range
The BI2 - M12 - VN6X - H1141 sensors typically have a sensing range of up to 2 mm for ferrous metals. This range can be adjusted to some extent depending on the specific application requirements and the type of metal being detected.

### 2. Supply Voltage
These sensors are designed to operate within a wide supply voltage range, usually from 10 to 30 VDC. This wide voltage range allows for easy integration with different power supplies commonly used in industrial automation systems.

### 3. Output Current
The output current of the sensors is typically rated at a sufficient level to drive most industrial control devices, such as relays, solenoids, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The exact output current rating may vary depending on the specific model within the series.

### 4. Response Time
The sensors offer a fast response time, typically in the range of a few milliseconds. This rapid response time enables them to detect fast - moving objects accurately, making them suitable for high - speed production lines and other applications where quick detection is essential.
