Telemecanique XS630B4MBL2 Inductive Proximity Sensor Guide

The Telemecanique XS630B4MBL2 inductive proximity sensor is an M30 cylindrical sensor designed for non-contact metallic object detection in industrial automation. Unlike flush models, this version is non-flush mountable and provides an extended nominal sensing distance of 22 mm. That makes it suitable for applications where a longer sensing range is preferred and sufficient mounting clearance is available.

This sensor belongs to the XS6 general purpose range and uses a nickel plated brass body with a PPS sensing face. Its 66 mm body length, 2 meter cable, and 2-wire AC/DC design allow integration into many industrial control circuits. The sensor is often considered for conveyors, metal handling systems, position feedback, machine monitoring, and equipment where metallic components need to be detected consistently.

Telemecanique XS630B4MBL2 Electrical Design and Output Function

The XS630B4MBL2 operates on 24 to 240 V AC/DC at 50/60 Hz. This wide supply range is useful in installations where AC and DC control architectures may vary. The device uses a 2-wire wiring technique and has a normally closed output function. Its switching capacity is rated from 5 to 200 mA DC and from 5 to 300 mA AC.

The sensor has a maximum residual current of 0.8 mA in the open state and a maximum voltage drop below 5.5 V in the closed state. A yellow LED indicates output state, helping maintenance teams check whether the sensor is detecting a target during setup or troubleshooting.

Detection Range and Installation

The nominal sensing distance is 22 mm, with a sensing range listed above 15 to 40 mm and an operating zone up to 17.6 mm. Because it is non-flush mountable, the sensor must not be surrounded too closely by metal around the sensing face. Correct mounting distance is essential for stable operation, especially where several sensors are installed side by side or face to face.

The switching frequency is up to 25 Hz in AC operation and up to 300 Hz in DC operation. The maximum response delay is 0.5 ms, while the recovery delay is 2 ms. These characteristics make the Telemecanique XS630B4MBL2 inductive proximity sensor suitable for many standard machine detection tasks where robust construction and wide-voltage compatibility are more important than ultra-high speed sensing.
