Sensor type and detection principle
The XS1N30PB349SCTF is an inductive proximity sensor, meaning it detects the presence of metallic targets without physical contact. The sub-category is cylinder position inductive proximity sensor, which indicates it is designed to sense the position of a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder's piston — typically through the cylinder wall or via a magnet-equipped piston.
