There are two types of proximity switches: NPN output type (current inflow) and PNP output type (current outflow), when the current outflow sensor (PNP output type) is turned on, the current flows from the power supply through the output of the sensor to the load, enters the load, and then flows to the ground.
On the other hand, when the current flow (NPN output type) sensor is turned on, the current flows from the power supply through the load to the output of the sensor, then to the ground (GND), and then to the system (GND). PNP and NPN sensors generally have three lead-out lines, namely power line, VCC, GND, and OUT signal output line.
1. NPN class NPN means that when there is a signal trigger, the signal output line OUT and GND are connected, which is equivalent to the low level of OUT output.
2. PNP PNP refers to the connection between the signal output line OUT and VCC when there is a signal trigger, which is equivalent to the high level of OUT output.

Failure analysis of ifm gas sensors
1. How long does it take for the gas sensor to be recalibrated after use: The length of the time distance between the initial calibration and recalibration depends on many factors, generally including the operating temperature, humidity, pressure, what kind of gas the sensor is exposed to, and the length of time it is exposed to the gas.
But most of the ...

Troubleshooting of high-frequency pressure sensors during operation
1. When the pressure goes up, the output of the transmitter can't go up.
In this case, you should first check whether the pressure connection is leaking or blocked. If you admit that it is not, check the wiring method and check the power supply, if the power supply is normal, then briefly pressurize to see if the output changes, or observe the zero position of the sensor ...

Precautions for the selection of level transmitters – ifm
The differential pressure transmitter is a transmitter that measures the pressure difference between the two ends of the transmitter, and outputs a standard signal (such as 4-20mA, 1-5V). The difference between the differential pressure transmitter and the general pressure transmitter is that they have 2 pressure interfaces, and the differential pressure transmitter is generally divided into positive pressure end and negative pressure end.
