Schneider Electric XS1M30MA250 – M30 Inductive Proximity Sensor | OsiSense XS Series
Engineering Background
The XS1M30MA250 is part of Schneider Electric’s OsiSense XS inductive proximity sensor family — a globally trusted platform deployed across automotive assembly lines, food & beverage packaging, material handling conveyors, and discrete manufacturing cells. Designed to detect metallic targets without physical contact, this sensor delivers repeatable, high-speed switching performance in demanding industrial environments.
Product Positioning
Targeting procurement engineers and automation integrators who require a reliable M30-format sensor with extended sensing range, the XS1M30MA250 offers a PNP normally-open (NO) output configuration compatible with the majority of modern PLC input modules. Its cylindrical M30 housing simplifies bracket mounting and replacement in existing installations.

- Machine Tools: Spindle position feedback, tool changer confirmation, door interlock sensing.
- Packaging Lines: Label applicator registration, carton flap detection, reject gate confirmation.
Engineering Advantages
- Extended Sensing Range: 250 mm assured range reduces false triggers caused by vibration or target misalignment.
- PNP NO Output: Direct compatibility with Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley CompactLogix, Mitsubishi MELSEC, and Schneider Modicon PLC input cards.
- IP67 Sealing: Withstands coolant splash, dust ingress, and high-pressure wash-down cycles.
- Wide Supply Voltage: 12–48 V DC range accommodates both 24 V DC standard panels and legacy 12 V systems without additional conditioning.
- LED Indicator: Provides instant visual commissioning feedback without test equipment.
- Nickel-Plated Brass Housing: Corrosion-resistant, mechanically robust, and compatible with standard M30 mounting hardware.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The XS1M30MA250 operates on a 3-wire PNP topology:
- Brown (L+): Connect to positive supply rail (12–48 V DC).
- Blue (L-): Connect to 0 V / common ground.
- Black (Output): PNP switching output — sourcing current to PLC input when target is detected.
On target detection, the output transistor switches HIGH (sources current), driving the connected PLC digital input to logic 1. The LED indicator illuminates simultaneously. No target = output LOW (open collector), LED off.

Technical FAQ
- Q: Is the XS1M30MA250 compatible with NPN input PLC cards?
- A: No — this model is PNP (sourcing) output. For NPN (sinking) input cards, specify the NPN variant (e.g. XS1M30MA120). A PNP-to-NPN converter relay can also be used.
- Q: What is the target material for rated sensing range?
- A: Rated range is specified for a standard mild steel (Fe360) target of size equal to the sensor face diameter. Non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass) will reduce effective range by a correction factor (typically 0.3–0.7×).
- Q: Can this sensor be flush-mounted?
- A: The XS1 series includes both flush (shielded) and non-flush (unshielded) variants. Verify the specific mounting type from the model code before installation to avoid range reduction from metal surrounds.
- Q: What is the short-circuit protection behavior?
- A: The output stage includes electronic short-circuit and overload protection with automatic reset — no fuse replacement required.
- Q: Is a datasheet available?
- A: Yes. Contact support@konmask.com to request the official Schneider Electric datasheet and wiring diagram.
