The Siemens 3RG7200-6HC42 is a SIMATIC PXO610 K80 diffuse sensor from the SensoPart family, rated for DC 10-36V supply with a 2m NPN antivalent output capable of 200mA. Housed in a 83x61x25 mm package with a PG11 4-pole connector, it carries IP67 protection for washdown areas.
What the Ratings Mean for Fit
The DC 10-36V supply range covers standard 24V control loops with tolerance for brownout conditions. NPN antivalent output provides both normally-open and normally-closed signals on separate wires, simplifying PLC input mapping. The 200mA current rating handles direct loads like small relays or indicator lamps without an interposing interface. IP67 lets the sensor survive hose-down cleaning in food or beverage lines, though the PG11 plastic housing is not rated for hot caustic CIP — mount outside the wash zone or use a stainless shield.
