The SICK UM30-213111 is an ultrasonic proximity sensor from the UM30 series, delivering a PNP switching output across a sensing window from 200 mm minimum to 1.3 m maximum. Switching frequency is 8 Hz. Housed in brass nickel-plated and PBT, sealed to IP65/IP67, the sensor withstands washdown environments and outdoor exposure — suitable for food processing lines, car washes, or outdoor material handling where moisture and dust are present.
Termination is via a standard M12 5-pin male connector — no pigtail to strip, no terminal block inside the housing. The panel or machine builder wires a mating M12 cordset (typically field-attachable or pre-molded) to the controller input. Operating range is 9 V to 30 V. The PNP output sources current to the PLC input. If the sensor sits in direct sunlight or near a drying oven, check the ambient at the mounting point.
The UM30 series is a mature, widely deployed platform. No broker or surplus channel needed for this code.
