Schneider Electric XS3P30MA230 Photoelectric Sensor

Schneider Electric XS3P30MA230 is a 2‑wire, cylindrical inductive proximity sensor in the OsiSense XS3 M30 family, designed for metal detection on automation lines with a 10 mm frontal sensing range and a fixed M30 x 1.5 thread. The sensor uses a 2 m cable (2 x 0.34 mm²) and presents a single normally open output (NO) suitable for logic‑level switching. It accepts a supply of 24–210 V DC or 24–240 V AC (50/60 Hz), with a switching capacity of 5–300 mA AC or 5–200 mA DC and built‑in overload/short‑circuit protection. The housing and front are PPS (front PPS, enclosure PPS), with a frontal detection face, designed for flush mounting in appropriate enclosures. Electrical characteristics include a maximum residual current of 1.5 mA in the open state and a voltage drop under 5.5 V in the closed state, plus a first‑up delay of up to 70 ms. Differential travel is 1–15% of Sr, and the device is rated for robust performance in standard industrial environments. This XS3P30MA230 variant is part of Schneider Electric’s OsiSense XS line, used for metal detection, positioning tasks, and automation sequencing on conveyors and machine tooling.
