It is hard to imagine any system or process that does not have sensors for monitoring these days, especially with the advancement of technology and automation. These components have become mandatory. Two of the most widely used in industry are inductive sensors and capacitive sensors. But what are inductive sensors and capacitive sensors and how do they work? When we talk about sensors, we are talking about components capable of detecting objects in a system or process. The inductive sensor is the most widely used sensor in industry. It is capable of detecting ferromagnetic objects. Its operating principle is an electromagnetic induction generated in the metallic material that approaches its sensing face. Speaking of this sensing face, it can be face-to-face or non-face-to-face, and the inductive sensor has a sensing distance for its detection. Another characteristic of inductive sensors is their output, which can be NPN or PNP. The NPN sensor references the potential of the load with the negative, while the PNP sensor provides a positive potential for the load. Another detail of the outputs is that they can be NO, which is normally open, or NC, which is normally closed. The capacitive sensor can detect any type of material, including liquids. This sensor is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries to detect liquids and objects inside containers. Its operating principle is the change in capacitance when an object approaches its sensing face. The capacitive sensor also has NPN or PNP outputs, as well as NO or NC outputs, just like inductive sensors. So, let's learn more about what an inductive sensor and a capacitive sensor are and how they work in this video.
