SensoPart claims its new SmartPlug enables users to realise time functions, counting, polarity conversion and speed control, with a minimum effort of installation.

For this purpose, the appropriate SmartPlug is simply connected between M12 sensor cable and sensor.

The complete electronics of the SmartPlug is located in the small connector housing which measures only 60 x 20mm.

Maximum output current of the SmartPlug is 400mA, so that it can be used as switching amplifier as well as its actual function.

SmartPlugs are available as counters with a maximum input frequency of 10 kHz and a counting range of 1 to 65535, and as timers or speed controllers with an adjustable time range of 1 to 65535ms and a maximum input frequency of 10kHz as well.

SmartPlugs are also available for converting PNP signals into NPN signals or vice versa with the addition of selecting normally open or normally closed operation.
