Sensor at a Glance
Telemecanique XS7F1A1PAL01M8 is a block-style inductive proximity sensor with a 5 mm front sensing range, PNP normally-open output, and a 2000 Hz switching frequency for fast object detection. Runs on 12 to 24 VDC (3-wire), draws up to 100 mA load current, and includes an LED indicator for output status. Compact package: 15 mm wide, 8 mm deep, 32 mm tall, with a 0.1 m pigtail terminated to a 3-pin M8 connector for quick disconnection. Enclosure rated IP67 and NEMA 1/4X/12; housing is PBT. Certifications: UL, CSA, CE.
Block form factor mounts with two screws (M3 recommended); the 8 mm depth keeps it flush in confined panels. The 0.1 m pigtail with M8 connector mates to a field-attachable cordset – keep the cable clear of high-frequency noise sources. PNP output sinks to DC common; verify PLC input compatibility (PNP sourcing to the module). 2000 Hz switching means it can detect objects passing at high line speeds without missing pulses. Maximum load current 100 mA – do not exceed when driving a small relay or indicator directly; use an interposing relay for higher loads.
