FAQs
What does PNP output mean?
PNP (Positive-Polarity-to-Supply) is a type of output configuration where the switch connects the load to the positive voltage supply (V+) when activated. This is common in industrial automation systems.
Can this switch be used with non-Norgren cylinders?
While theoretically possible if mounting and magnetic field alignment can be achieved, it is specifically designed and recommended for use with Norgren pneumatic piston cylinder ranges for guaranteed performance and compatibility.
How is the switch activated?
The switch is activated by the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet located within the piston of compatible pneumatic cylinders. As the piston moves, its magnet passes the switch, triggering the solid-state electronics.
What is the maximum switching frequency?
As a solid-state switch, it offers a very fast response time and can handle high switching frequencies suitable for most industrial automation tasks without mechanical wear.
Is the cable replaceable?
The M/50/EAP/5V comes with a fixed 5-meter cable. Replacement typically involves cutting and splicing or using an appropriate connector if available, though it's designed as an integrated unit.
What is the IP rating of this switch?
Specific IP rating details are not provided in the product information, but solid-state switches designed for industrial environments generally offer good protection against dust and moisture. Consult the full Norgren datasheet for detailed environmental ratings.
Troubleshooting
Switch is not activating
Verify that the cylinder's internal magnet is aligned with the switch. Ensure the switch is correctly mounted and that the cylinder is moving through its full stroke. Check the PNP wiring to confirm it's connected to a suitable input.
LED indicator is not lit
Check the power supply to the switch. Ensure the output is receiving the correct voltage for activation according to PNP standards. Inspect the cable for damage.
Intermittent signal or erratic behavior
Confirm the operating temperature is within the specified range (-40°C to +80°C). Check for excessive electromagnetic interference near the switch or cables. Ensure the switch is securely mounted and not loose.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High reliability due to solid-state technology.
- Excellent performance in environments with significant vibration.
- Fast response time for precise control.
- Easy visual status check with the built-in LED.
- Versatile mounting options, including flush mounting.
- Broad operating temperature range.
Cons
- PNP output configuration may not be compatible with all systems (e.g., NPN systems).
- Requires a magnetic field (from the piston) to operate.
- Specific to Norgren pneumatic piston cylinders.
- Cable length is fixed at 5 meters.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mount the switch onto a compatible Norgren pneumatic piston cylinder. Use the provided special adaptor for flush mounting if desired.
- Ensure the switch is positioned to detect the cylinder's magnet when it reaches the desired position.
- Connect the 5-meter cable to your control system, ensuring the PNP output is correctly wired.
Compatibility:
- Primarily designed for Norgren pneumatic piston cylinder ranges.
- The PNP output must be compatible with your PLC or control system's input specifications.
Care:
- The M/50/EAP/5V is a solid-state device and requires minimal physical maintenance.
- Keep the area around the switch clean to prevent dust or debris from interfering with its mounting or connection.
- Avoid exposing the cable to excessive abrasion or sharp bending.
