SICK CM30-16BPP-EC1 Color Vision Sensor Module

CM30-16BPP-EC1 is a 30 mm (M30 x 1.5) threaded capacitive proximity sensor from SICK that detects dielectric targets non‑contact within a 0–16 mm sensing range, with a safe sensing distance Sa of 12.24 mm. It uses a 4‑wire DC supply and provides a PNP output via a 4‑pin M12 connector, making it compatible with standard automation controllers. The device is rated IP67, IP68, and IP69K for harsh washdown and submersion environments, and it ships with two PA12 mounting nuts and a screwdriver to adjust the 11‑turn potentiometer for sensitivity. For flush mounting in electrically conductive materials, Sa can be 0.8 × Sr at temperatures below 0 °C or above 60 °C, and the unit supports a switching frequency of 50 Hz with a complementary output function. The CM30‑16BPP‑EC1 is part of SICK’s CM30 family and is commonly used for non‑contact detection, level sensing, and position verification on packaging, manufacturing, and automation lines, including operations that require reliable performance in wet or challenging environments up to 1 m submersion for IP68.
