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.
• CA18EA.. PBT M18-cylindrical threaded barrel housing for flush or non-flush installation with 4-pole
M12 connector or 2 metre PVC cable.
• CA30EA.. PBT M30-cylindrical threaded barrel housing for flush or non-flush installation with 4-pole
M12 connector or 2 metre PVC cable.
They can operate in standard I/O mode (SIO), which is 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, also timer functions of the
output. Advanced functionalities such as the Logic function block and the possibility to convert one
output into an external input makes the sensor highly flexible in solving decentralized sensing tasks.
