Description:
Various sensors are used to detect the position of the product(s) in the production line. Each type depends
on the environmental and physical conditions, it is basically applied in different industries using proximity
sensors, opticals and lasers.
There are two (2) types of sensor output that can connect to Hx Nitro following the correct technical
procedures:
§ NPN Mode
§ PNP Mode

GND
,
VCC
,
Output
.
HX Nitro supports 12V and other open-type sensors. It uses DB9 connector that enables connections
