System Architecture & Signal Flow
The XS1M30MA250 operates on an LC oscillator principle: a ferrite-core coil generates an electromagnetic field at the sensor face. When a conductive metallic target enters the sensing zone (≤15 mm), eddy currents are induced, damping the oscillation. The internal trigger circuit detects this amplitude change and switches the solid-state output accordingly.
Typical wiring topology: Sensor output → PLC digital input module (e.g., Schneider TM3DI16 / Modicon M340 BMX DDI) → ladder logic rung for presence/absence logic. 2-wire AC/DC output is loop-powered — no separate supply rail required at the sensor.

Technical FAQ
Q: What is the sensing range for non-ferrous metals?
A: Sensing range is reduced for non-ferrous targets — typically 50–70% of nominal Sn for aluminum, and 30–50% for copper. Refer to the correction factor table in the Schneider Electric XS1M30MA250 datasheet.
Q: Can this sensor be used with a Modicon M221 PLC?
A: Yes. The 2-wire output is compatible with Modicon M221, M241, M251, and M340 digital input modules operating at 24 V DC. Verify input impedance against sensor minimum load current specification.
Q: Is the XS1M30MA250 RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. Schneider Electric confirms RoHS 2 (Directive 2011/65/EU) compliance for the OsiSense XS series.
Q: What is the difference between XS1M30MA250 and XS1M30PA250?
A: The XS1M30MA250 uses a 2-wire AC/DC output; the XS1M30PA250 is a PNP 3-wire DC output variant. Selection depends on your PLC input module type and wiring architecture.
Q: Can I get a sample or trial unit?
A: Sample requests are evaluated case-by-case for qualified OEM accounts. Contact [email protected] with your application details.
