Figura 1: A yellow rectangular magnetic field sensor with an M8 male connector on one end. The sensor body is labeled with 'TURCK', 'BIM-PST-AP6X-V1131/KLP80', and power specifications '10...30 VDC 200 mA'. This image shows the overall appearance of the TURCK BIM-PST-AP6X-V1131 sensor.
Istruzioni di sicurezza
Always adhere to local and national safety regulations. Disconnect power before installation or maintenance. Do not exceed specified voltage and current ratings. Only qualified personnel should install and service this device.
- Garantire una messa a terra adeguata per evitare rischi elettrici.
- Avoid exposing the sensor to extreme temperatures or corrosive environments beyond its specified operating range.
- Do not modify the sensor in any way, as this may void the warranty and compromise safety.

Montaggio
The BIM-PST-AP6X-V1131 sensor is designed for cylinder position sensing. It should be mounted securely to the cylinder using the provided KLP-80 mounting bracket. Ensure the active face of the sensor is positioned correctly relative to the magnetic field source (e.g., piston magnet).
- Identify the optimal sensing position on the cylinder.
- Attach the KLP-80 bracket to the cylinder.
- Insert the sensor into the KLP-80 bracket and secure it.
- Adjust the sensor position for precise detection.
Cablaggio
This is a 3-wire PNP sensor with an M8 male connector. Connect it to a compatible M8 female cable assembly. Refer to the wiring diagram below for standard PNP connections.
| Spillo | Colore (standard) | Descrizione |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marrone | +VDC (10-30 VDC) |
| 3 | Blu | 0 VCC (GND) |
| 4 | Nero | Output (PNP Normally Open) |
Nota: Always verify pin assignments with the sensor's datasheet or markings if available, as color codes can vary by region or manufacturer.
Operativo
The TURCK BIM-PST-AP6X-V1131 is an inductive magnetic field sensor designed to detect the presence of a magnetic field, typically from a piston magnet within a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. When a magnetic field is detected by the front active face, the PNP output will switch to the supply voltage (+VDC).
Funzionalità
- Rilevamento: The sensor detects magnetic fields. Its switching point is factory set.
- Produzione: The sensor provides a PNP (Positive-Negative-Positive) output. This means the output switches to a positive voltage when activated.
- Indicatore: Many inductive sensors include an LED indicator that illuminates when the sensor detects a target. Observe the sensor for such an indicator to confirm proper operation.
For optimal performance, ensure the magnetic field strength is consistent and the sensor is not exposed to strong external magnetic interference.
Manutenzione
The TURCK BIM-PST-AP6X-V1131 sensor is designed for low maintenance. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued reliable operation.
- Pulizia: Keep the sensor's active face clean and free from debris, dust, or excessive moisture. Use a soft, damp panno per la pulizia. Non utilizzare detergenti o solventi abrasivi.
- Ispezione di cavi e connettori: Periodically check the M8 connector and cable for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure the connection is secure.
- Sicurezza del montaggio: Verify that the sensor and its KLP-80 mounting bracket remain securely fastened to the cylinder. Vibrations can loosen mounting hardware over time.
- Controllo ambientale: Ensure the operating environment remains within the sensor's specified temperature and humidity limits.
No internal user-serviceable parts are present. Do not attempt to open or repair the sensor.
Risoluzione dei problemi
Se il sensore non funziona come previsto, prendere in considerazione i seguenti problemi comuni e le relative soluzioni:
| Problema | Possibile causa | Soluzione |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not detecting target / No output |
|
|
| Rilevamento intermittente |
|
|
| Sensor always ON/OFF (stuck state) |
|
|
If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact Turck technical support.
