Rectangular inductive sensor with analog output

The Turck BI15-CP40-LIU 15356 is a rectangular inductive sensor designed for industrial position monitoring. It provides an analog output of 0…10 V and 0…20 mA for continuous distance measurement. The sensor operates on a 15…30 VDC supply and features a flush mounting design in a PBT-GF30-V0 housing. It is built for electricians and automation engineers who need reliable non-contact detection.

Upgrade from binary switching sensors

This model replaces simple proximity switches that only provide on/off signals. The analog output delivers a variable signal across a measuring range of 11 mm up to a rated switching distance of 15 mm. The jump is worth it when a process requires precise position feedback rather than basic presence detection. A terminal chamber simplifies wiring compared to cable-only alternatives.

Suited for continuous position monitoring

The sensor suits applications needing variable voltage or current feedback within a compact 114 x 40 x 40 mm rectangular form factor. Its active face can be oriented in 9 directions for flexible installation. It is not for buyers who need a simple digital switch output or a cylindrical housing format. Installations requiring a measuring range beyond 11 mm should look at other sensing technologies.

Questions about this item

What are the overall dimensions of the CP40 rectangular housing?

The sensor housing measures 114 x 40 x 40 mm and weighs 233 g, with a PBT-GF30-V0 plastic body rated for flush mounting.

How do I wire the 4-wire terminal chamber for the analog outputs?

Connect the supply across 15…30 VDC; the terminal chamber provides separate connections for the 0…10 V and 0…20 mA analog outputs — ensure each signal wire lands on its marked terminal to avoid cross-talk.

How often should I verify the 15 mm switching distance and analog output calibration?

Re-check the 15 mm rated switching distance and both 0…10 V / 0…20 mA output ranges annually or after any mechanical shock, using a calibrated target at the 11 mm max measuring range to confirm linearity.
