The E2E-X8MB1TL8-M5 Proximity Sensors is manufactured by Omron and is an M8 Unshielded Output PNP, IOLink COM3 sensor. It is an induction-type phone sensor which uses magnetic fields to detect the presence of a ferrous metal target and can detect targets that are up to 8 mm away. It has a sensing range of 2-200 mm and is designed for use in challenging industrial environments. The E2E-X8MB1TL8-M5 includes a wide range of features, such as, adjustable switching frequency, dual programming, long life, long sensing distance, and a selectable Light on/Dark on output. Additionally, the sensor is fully compatible with the IOLink communication protocol.
