Abstract
A proximity switch with a noncontact effect which includes a plug-in adapter having a plug-in socket for the sensor part equipped with a plug-in cable, a ac/dc converter with a core coil connected in front thereof being arranged in the adapter. The adapter is associated with a dc/ac converter located in the basic housing of the main part and includes a core coil connected thereafter. The core coil lie in each case behind the mounting sides of the basic housing and plug-in adapter and transmit by inductive coupling the energy from the main part to the connected sensor part and the signals from the sensor part to the main part.
Claims5
Proximity switch operating in a noncontact fashion with a dc circuit arrangement lying between an input section and a sensor field generator, the dc circuit arrangement being divided into a main part disposed on a basic housing on a terminal side and a sensor part including the sensor field generator, a plug-in adapter including a plug-in socket for the sensor part a plug-in cable provided on the sensor part, an ac/dc converter with a core coil connected in front thereof arranged in the plug-in adapter, and the plug-in adapter being associated with a dc/ac converter located in the basic housing of the main part and including a core coil connected thereafter, the core coils lying in each case behind the mounting sides of the basic housing of the main part and of the plug-in adapter and transmitting, by inductive coupling, energy from the main part to the connected sensor part and the signals from the sensor part to the main part.
