Frequently asked questions

What type of output does the Allen Bradley 871A-VS5-DM have?

The Allen Bradley 871A-VS5-DM inductive proximity sensor features a normally closed (NC) output. This means the output circuit is closed (conducting) when no metallic object is detected and opens when an object enters the sensing range.
