The TURCK BI10U-M18-IOL6X2-H1141 is a next-generation inductive proximity sensor designed for intelligent metal detection with integrated IO-Link communication. It features a durable M18 stainless steel housing, 10 mm flush sensing distance, and a PNP normally open (NO) output, combining reliability with advanced diagnostic and configuration capabilities. This smart sensor supports IO-Link V1.1, allowing real-time communication of sensor status, temperature, signal quality, and event diagnostics to a higher-level controller. It enables predictive maintenance and process transparency in modern automation networks. Rated IP68/IP69K, the BI10U-M18-IOL6X2-H1141 is resistant to dust, oil, and high-pressure washdowns, making it suitable for food processing, machine building, and harsh industrial applications. With backward compatibility to standard digital I/O operation, it offers flexible integration in both classic and intelligent control systems. Key Features: • IO-Link-enabled inductive sensor (V1.1) • Sensing range: 10 mm (flush mount) • Output: PNP normally open (NO) • Housing: M18 stainless steel, threaded • Power supply: 10–30 VDC • Advanced diagnostics: temperature, signal strength, error flags • Dual function: standard I/O + IO-Link communication • IP68/IP69K – ideal for washdown and wet environments • LED indicator and robust EMC performance
