Sensor identity and series position
The E2E-X7D1-R 2M is an Omron proximity detection switch from the E2E/E2E NEXT series, a long-running inductive sensor family used across industrial automation for non-contact position detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets. Listed under the Proximity Sensors category, this part carries the title E2E-X7D1-R 2M and the part number E2E-X7D1-R 2M — the order code and the product identifier are the same string, which simplifies BOM traceability.
Deployment context for panel integration
As an inductive proximity sensor in the E2E/E2E NEXT family, the E2E-X7D1-R 2M mounts into standard sensor brackets or threaded barrel holders on conveyor lines, machine guarding gates, or part-present stations where metal target detection is required. The 2M suffix in the order code indicates a 2-meter cable exit, which is the typical lead length for direct wiring into a junction box or PLC input module without an intermediate cordset.
