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 main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:-modification of Table 3;-modifications of voltage dips and voltage interruptions immunity tests, in Table 8;-modification of status of Annex A, now informative.

Appareillage à basse tension - Partie 5-2: Appareils et éléments de commutation pour circuits de commande - Détecteurs de proximité

La présente partie de la CEI 60947 s'applique aux détecteurs de proximité inductifs et capacitifs qui détectent la présence d'objets métalliques et/ou non métalliques, aux détecteurs de proximité ultrasoniques qui détectent la présence d'objets réfléchissants les ultrasons, aux détecteurs de proximité photoélectriques qui détectent la présence d'objets et aux détecteurs de proximité magnétiques non mécaniques qui détectent la présence d'objets avec un champ magnétique. Ces détecteurs de proximité sont des appareils complets, comprennent des éléments de commutation à semi-conducteurs et sont destinés à être connectés à des circuits dont la tension nominale n'excède pas 250 V 50 Hz/60 Hz courant alternatif ou 300 V courant continu. La présente norme n'est pas prévue pour couvrir les détecteurs de proximité analogiques. Par rapport à l'édition précédente, les changements majeurs sont les suivants:-la modification du Tableau 3;-les modifications concernant les essais d'immunité aux creux de tension et aux interruptions de tension, au Tableau 8;-la modification du statut de l'Annexe A, désormais informative.

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

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.
