The Siemens 3RG7652-3HC00 is a SIMATIC PXO230 M18S thru-beam sensor receiver in a M18×72 cylindrical housing. It operates on 10-30V DC, outputs NPN antivalent (light-on/dark-on selectable), and switches up to 150mA. The 6m sensing range covers most medium-distance thru-beam applications in conveyor, packaging, and material handling lines. IP67 rating handles washdown and dusty environments.
Key Ratings & Fit
The NPN antivalent output gives both normally-open and normally-closed signals from a single receiver, simplifying wiring to a PLC input module. The M12 4-pole connector mates with standard cordsets; verify pinout matches your existing harness. The 150mA output drives most DC loads directly, but check your load current — if it exceeds that, add an interposing relay.
