The Telemecanique Sensors XS630B1MBL5 is a shielded M30 inductive proximity sensor in the XS6 series, wired NC (normally closed) with a 5-meter prewired cable. Rated IP68 and IP69K, it handles high-pressure washdown environments — think food processing or outdoor conveyor lines. Supply voltage spans 24-240 VAC and 24-240 VDC, so one part number covers 24 V and 240 V control panels without a separate transformer tap.
The nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion and the IP68/IP69K ratings suit washdown environments. Flush-mount into metal without worrying about detection field interference. Shielded (flush-mountable) construction and a 15 mm maximum sensing distance give 8 mm of minimum detection range. Mount it flush in a steel bracket; the 15 mm top end provides tolerance for target wobble or misalignment in automated pick-and-place stations. The 2-wire NC output simplifies wiring on a standard PLC digital input card — one wire for supply, one for signal. With a 24-240V AC/DC supply, it's equally at home on an AC motor starter circuit or a 24 VDC controller. Verify the off-state leakage current of your PLC input module; a 2-wire AC/DC sensor typically leaks a few mA, which can ghost an old-style relay input.
