2.1 Main features
New IO-Link Carlo Gavazzi 4-wire DC 4th Generation Tripleshield sensors, built to the highest quality
standards, are available in two different housing sizes.
• CA18CA.. PBT M18-cylindrical threaded barrel housing for flush or non-flush installation with 4-pole
M12 connector or 2 meters PVC cable.
• CA30CA.. PBT M30-cylindrical threaded barrel housing for flush or non-flush installation with 4-pole
M12 connector or 2 meters PVC cable.
They can operate in standard I/O mode (SIO), which are the default operation mode. When
connected to an IO-Link master, they automatically switch to IO-Link mode and can be operated and
easily configured remotely.
Thanks to their IO-Link interface, these devices are much more intelligent and feature many additional
configuration options, such as the settable sensing distance and hysteresis, and timer functions of the
output. Advanced functionalities such as Logic function block and the possibility to convert one output
into an external input makes the sensor highly flexible to solve decentralized sensing tasks.
