It provides a PNP normally-open (NO) switching output, making it a direct-fit replacement for lines originally specified with this Festo order code.
Integration Note
The M30 barrel threads into standard mounting brackets or through-hole panels. The PNP NO output interfaces directly with most PLC digital inputs; no pull-up resistor is needed. Verify the sensing distance against your target material — ferrous vs. non-ferrous affects the rated range.
