EN 60947-5-2:2007/A1:2012

Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 5-2: Control circuit devices and switching elements - Proximity switches

This part of IEC 60947 applies to inductive and capacitive proximity switches that sense the presence of metallic and/or non-metallic objects, ultrasonic proximity switches that sense the presence of sound reflecting objects, photoelectric proximity switches that sense the presence of objects and non-mechanical magnetic proximity switches that sense the presence of objects with a magnetic field. These proximity switches are self-contained, have semiconductor switching elements(s) and are intended to be connected to circuits, the rated voltage of which does not exceed 250 V 50 Hz/60 Hz a.c. or 300 V d.c. This Standard is not intended to cover proximity switches with analogue outputs. The object of this standard is to state for proximity switches: - definitions; - classification; - characteristics; - product information; - normal service, mounting and transport conditions; - constructional and performance requirements; - tests to verify rated characteristics.

Nizkonapetostne stikalne in krmilne naprave - 5-2. del: Krmilne naprave in stikalni elementi - Približevalna stikala (IEC 60947-5-2:2007/A1:2012)

Ta del standarda IEC 60947 se uporablja za induktivna in kapacitativna približevalna stikala, ki zaznavajo kovinske in/ali nekovinske predmete, ultrazvočna približevalna stikala, ki zaznavajo predmete, ki odbijajo zvok, fotoelektrična približevalna stikala, ki zaznavajo predmete, in nemehanska magnetna približevalna stikala, ki zaznavajo predmete z
magnetnim poljem. Navedena približevalna stikala so samostojna, imajo polprevodniške stikalne elemente in so namenjena za priključitev v omrežja, katerih naznačena napetost ne presega 250 V 50 Hz/60 Hz izmenične napetosti ali 300 V enosmerne napetosti. Ta standard ne zajema približevalnih stikal z analognimi izhodi. Cilj tega standarda je za približevalna stikala navesti:
– opredelitve;
– razvrstitev;
– lastnosti;
– informacije o proizvodu;
– običajne servisne in montažne pogoje ter pogoje za prevoz;
– konstrukcijske zahteve in zahteve glede zmogljivosti;
– preskuse za preverjanje naznačenih lastnosti.
