M18 barrel, 16 mm sensing range, PNP output
The E2A-M18KN16-WP-B2 2M: The E2A-M18KN16-WP- 2M: The Omron E2A-M18KN16-WP- 2M is an M18 threaded-barrel inductive proximity sensor with a 16 mm sensing range on mild steel — that is the full rated distance, not a derated figure. The PNP normally-open output switches at the sensor's internal oscillator frequency, so the downstream PLC input must be fast enough to catch the pulse at the target pass speed.
