The Omron E2E-X10Y2 2M is a shielded inductive proximity sensor from the E2E family, rated for 10 mm sensing distance with a normally closed output. It runs on AC 2-wire power and comes with a 2-meter PVC cable attached — common for fixed-mount applications on conveyors, machine tools, and indexing tables.
What the ratings mean for fit
Shielded construction allows flush mounting into metal panels — the sensing field projects straight out the face. 10 mm sensing distance. Normally closed output means the switch opens when a target is present. Useful as a fail-safe: if power drops or the sensor fails, the output returns to its closed state — your PLC sees a high signal and can trigger an alarm. AC 2-wire wiring simplifies installation — no separate power supply, just two wires in series with the load. Works with most PLC inputs rated for AC or universal voltage.
