Definizione del modello

DMSE-P020

DMS: Electronic magnetic sensor series

E: E-profile (fits E-slot of ARTICO SE / SAE series cylinders)

P: 3-wire PNP output; N = NPN output

020: Cable length 2 m; 030 = 3 m; 050 = 5 m

Principali Specifiche Elettriche

3-Definizione di cablaggio

Marrone: DC24 V Positive

Blu: 0 V Negative

Nero: Uscita segnale PNP (connect to PLC input terminal)

Uscita PNP: High-level signal (ca. tensione di alimentazione) on black wire when magnet is detected. Suitable for PLC sinking-type input terminals.

Cilindri compatibili

Specially designed for E-slot cylinders: SE, SAE series cylinders.

Cannot be directly mounted on SC / SDA cylinders. SC uses G-profile DMSG; SDA uses J-profile DMSJ, corresponding mounting brackets are required.

Comparison within the Same Series

1. DMSE-Pxxx: E-slot, for SE/SAE cylinders, PNP; DMSE-Nxxx = NPN version
2. DMSG-Pxxx: G-slot, for SC/SGC cylinders
3. DMSJ-Pxxx: J-slot, for SDA/TCL cylinders
4. DMSH-Pxxx: H-slot, for ACQ compact cylinders

Linee guida per la selezione

1. Confirm cylinder groove profile: E / G / J / H; wrong profile prevents installation.
2. PLC input type: PNP output matches PLC sinking-type input.
3. Lunghezza del cavo: 2 M(020), 3 M(030), 5 M(050); M8 connector version supports quick harness plug-in.
4. Advantages of electronic type: Funzionamento ad alta frequenza, lunga durata. No mechanical contacts compared with CMS reed-switch series, suitable for high-speed reciprocating motion.

Common Replacements

Alternativa domestica: Domestic E-profile PNP magnetic sensor with parameters DC5-30V, 200 mA, E-section profile.

Interchangeable: DMSE-P020 ↔ DMSE-P030 differ only in cable length.

AIRTAC DMSE-PNP (DMSE-P020) Installazione

Direct-mount type: Fits E-shaped slot of SE / SAE cylinders; non è necessaria alcuna staffa aggiuntiva, clip directly into the side E-groove of cylinder barrel.

Step-by-Step Installation Procedure

1. Allentare la vite di fissaggio: Use small flat-blade screwdriver to turn the set screw on sensor head counter-clockwise (do not remove it completely).
2. Slide into groove: Insert DMSE sensor from the end of the E-shaped side groove on SE/SAE cylinder barrel. Keep flat bottom surface of sensor tight against groove base.

⚠️ Only for SE, SAE cylinders with E-slot. Not applicable for SC/SDA or other slot-profile cylinders.

3. Position adjustment: Manually move cylinder piston, slide magnetic sensor to desired detection position (signal triggers when piston magnet ring passes this position).
4. Tighten and fix: Fasten the head set screw

Recommended torque: 0.15-0.20 N·m, maximum ≤0.25 N·m. Excessive torque will crack plastic housing.

Importante: Screw tip must NOT protrude from sensor bottom surface; otherwise it will jam and scratch cylinder groove.

5. Verification test: Manually cycle cylinder piston to confirm reliable signal triggering. Re-adjust screw if position needs fine-tuning.

Installation for Cylinders without E-slot

If your cylinder is non-SE/SAE without E-shaped groove:

DMSE has no universal hoop bracket and cannot be fitted directly. Select magnetic sensors with corresponding profile (DMSG / DMSJ / DMSH) and use dedicated mounting brackets.

Cablaggio (3-wire PNP)

Marrone: DC24 V+

Blu: 0 V / GND

Nero: Uscita segnale PNP (connect to PLC sinking-type input point)

Key Installation Notes

1. Cylinder must be equipped with built-in magnet ring, otherwise magnetic sensor cannot detect signal.
2. Prevent cable from following cylinder reciprocating movement; reserve cable slack. Minimum bending radius ≥19 mm to avoid cable fatigue fracture.
3. Keep away from strong magnetic fields (bobine di solenoidi, welding equipment etc.) per evitare false attivazioni.
4. Do not use sensor as mechanical stop. Cylinder shall be equipped with built-in buffer; forbid piston impact onto sensor.
5. Retighten screws periodically. Equipment vibration may cause position shift.

Risoluzione dei problemi rapida

Nessun segnale in uscita: ① Verify cylinder has magnet ring; ② Check whether sensor aligns with piston magnet ring; ③ Over-torque causing housing deformation; ④ Reversed power-supply wiring.

Falsa attivazione: Strong surrounding magnetic interference; too-small spacing between two magnetic sensors.

AIRTAC DMSE-PNP (DMSE-P020) Caratteristiche di uscita

Tipo di uscita: 3-wire PNP, uscita a transistor, Normalmente aperto (NO), output di approvvigionamento

Level Logic

When cylinder magnet ring is detected: Signal wire (nero) outputs high-level voltage nearly equal to supply DC24 V.

No magnet detected: Signal wire is high-impedance state (nessuna uscita).

Cablaggio

1. Marrone: DC24V positivo
2. Blu: DC0 V negative
3. Nero: PNP signal output terminal

PNP sourcing output: Sensor sources 24 V voltage outward.

✅Compatibile: PLC sinking-type input module

❗Caution: Cannot connect directly to PLC sourcing-type input, signal will not be recognized.

Electrical Output Specifications

Output structure: Bipolar transistor, non-contact electronic design

Max load current: 200 mA

Load voltage range: DC5-30 V

Max load power: 6 W

Modalità di uscita: Factory preset Normally Open (NO), no Normally Closed version available

Frequenza di risposta: 1000 Hz, suitable for high-frequency cylinder reciprocation

Load Connection Methods

1. Connect to PLC sinking-type input: Black wire connects to PLC input channel; PLC common COM terminal connects to 24 V-. When magnet is detected, input channel receives 24 V and PLC turns ON.
2. Connect to relay coil: One end of relay coil connects to black signal wire; the other end connects to 0 V. Relay energizes upon magnet detection.

Malintesi comuni

1. DMSE-Pxx: PNP sourcing output; DMSE-Nxx: NPN sinking output.
2. This is electronic sensor, not dry-contact relay. It requires DC power supply; cannot be used as passive switch.
3. Without piston magnet ring, no signal will be generated regardless of wiring.

Simple memory rule: PNP outputs high-level voltage; NPN pulls signal down to 0 V.
