Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output type of the Panasonic FX-101 sensor?

The FX-101 provides an NPN (sinking) open-collector output. This means the output transistor switches the signal line to ground (0V) when an object is detected, making it directly compatible with most PLC digital inputs and industrial control circuits designed for NPN sensors.

What is the required power supply for this sensor?

The sensor operates on a 12 to 24V DC supply. Ensure your power source is within this range and can provide sufficient current for the sensor's internal circuitry. Always connect the positive voltage to the V+ terminal and the negative to the 0V terminal as per the sensor's wiring diagram.

How do I connect the FX-101 sensor? Does it require soldering?

No soldering is required for standard installation. The FX-101 features an integrated connector for easy wiring. You will need a compatible mating connector (often sold separately) to which you attach your power, output, and ground wires, allowing for quick disconnection and replacement.
