BC20-CP40-FZ3X2 20mm Inductive Proximity Sensor IP67 Stainless DC 10-30V

Product Specification

1. Dual-Channel Industrial Proximity Sensor Overview​

The Turck BC20-CP40-FZ3X2 is a heavy-duty inductive proximity sensor engineered for critical automation applications requiring redundant detection and extended sensing capabilities. Featuring an ​exceptional 40mm sensing range (CP40 suffix)​​ for ferrous metals, this device incorporates ​dual independent PNP outputs (FZ3X2 designation)​​ with configurable NO/NC logic. Its ​nickel-plated brass housing​ provides ​IP67/IP69K protection​ against high-pressure washdowns (150 bar), oils, coolants, and temporary submersion. Operating across ​​-40°C to +85°C, it detects standard steel targets (Fe360) with ​​±10% repeatability​ while resisting vibration (10g) and electromagnetic interference. The M30×1.5 threaded barrel design enables robust mounting in harsh industrial environments like metal processing, material handling, and heavy machinery where sensor redundancy enhances system reliability and safety compliance.

​2. Critical Performance Specifications​

This sensor delivers precise detection with 40mm nominal sensing distance (±10% tolerance) for ferrous targets ≥1mm thickness. Electrical specifications include dual PNP outputs (NO+NC independent channels) supporting 10-55V DC or 20-250V AC operation with ≤400mA switching current per channel. Key metrics include <15% hysteresis, ≤100Hz response frequency, and ±0.5mm repeatability. Environmental resilience features IP67/IP69K protection (IEC 60529/ISO 20653), -40°C to +85°C operating temperature, and 100g shock resistance (IEC 60068-2-27). Mechanical construction includes nickel-plated brass housing, M30×1.5 threading, and 2m PUR oil-resistant cable (ISO 1817). Certifications cover UL 508, CE, RoHS, and SIL 2 capability per IEC 61508 standards.

​3. Industrial Automation Applications​

This sensor excels in demanding environments requiring redundant detection:

• ​Automotive Stamping Presses: Dual-position verification of hydraulic rams
• ​Steel Roll Forming Lines: Backup sensing of roller positioning
• ​Mining Stacker-Reclaimers: Redundant bucket wheel alignment monitoring
• ​Pallet Conveyor Systems: Dual-channel pallet presence detection
• ​CNC Machine Tools: Tool changer position confirmation with fail-safe logic
• ​Hydraulic Presses: Platen position redundancy for safety interlocks
• ​Agricultural Combines: Dual monitoring of grain elevator positions
• ​Packaging Machinery: Guard door safety with two-channel monitoring
  The 40mm sensing range allows detection through non-metallic barriers or misaligned targets (±15mm lateral tolerance), while dual independent outputs enable SIL 2 safety circuits in critical machinery protection systems.

​4. Functional Advantages​

• ​Redundant Safety Architecture:
  Independent NO+NC outputs enable Type 2 safety circuits per IEC 61508
  Either channel operates independently with >60% diagnostic coverage
• ​Extended Sensing Capability:
  40mm range detects targets without precise alignment
  Non-flush mountable (factor 1) installation flexibility
• ​Environmental Resilience:
  Nickel-plated brass withstands coolants/hydraulic fluids
  IP69K rating survives 1500 psi steam cleaning
• ​Electrical Versatility:
  AC/DC universal voltage compatibility (10-55V DC/20-250V AC)
  Short-circuit/overload protection per channel
• ​Diagnostic Visibility:
  Dual green LEDs indicate independent output status
  Visual confirmation of NO/NC states without tools
• ​Mechanical Durability:
  500hr salt spray resistance (ISO 9227)
  Vibration resistance: 10-55Hz @ 1.5mm amplitude

​5. Dual-Channel Operation & Safety​

​Sensing Logic:

1. ​Target Detection:
   Ferrous metal enters 40mm range → electromagnetic field disturbance
2. ​Output Behavior:
   • NO Channel: Closes on detection (sinks current)
   • NC Channel: Opens on detection (stops sinking)
3. ​LED Indication:
   • Solid Green (NO): Target detected
   • Solid Green (NC): No target detected
   • Off: Power loss/channel fault
     ​Safety Integration:

• ​SIL 2 Capability:
  Dual channels satisfy architectural constraints
  Automatic diagnostics detect channel discrepancies
• ​Protection Systems:
  Reverse polarity protection (EN 60947-5-2)
  Surge suppression (1kV/500A per IEC 61000-4-5)
• ​Fault Tolerance:
  Independent channel operation maintains partial functionality
  Automatic reset after transient faults
