Industrial Sensors
Industrial Sensors detect objects, position or process conditions for machine and PLC control.
Product-type reference. The supplied make and configuration are confirmed in your quotation.
Industrial and proximity sensor buying enquiries
Tirupati Power Enterprises supplies industrial sensor requirements for maintenance, automation and machine building. For a proximity sensor price, send the full model code or describe the target, sensing distance, supply and output interface. Inductive, capacitive and photoelectric sensing solve different detection tasks; the lowest-priced sensor is useful only if it works with the target and the control input.
This page covers the industrial sensor range rather than a single model. Use it to request a replacement or compare a specified sensing arrangement. Procurement teams in West Bengal, Odisha and Assam should include the machine/OEM reference, quantity and plant delivery PIN code along with the technical requirement.
Information to include in your RFQ
Selection requirements for this product type |
|---|
Inductive, capacitive, photoelectric or application-specific sensing |
Sensing distance, target material and mounting |
PNP/NPN, NO/NC and supply voltage |
Connector pinout, cable length and environment |
Replacement and quotation checks
For a replacement, send the existing industrial sensors reference and photographs of its markings, connections and mounting. Include the equipment drawing or datasheet where available. Identify which functions must remain unchanged and whether an alternative make is acceptable.

Sensor technology and interface selection
Separate the detection requirement from the PLC connection. Confirm each field against the chosen model and the actual installation.
Selection point | Specify in your enquiry | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
Target and method | Metal, non-metal, liquid level or optical target; required technology | Inductive proximity sensing is intended for metallic targets; other tasks need suitable technology |
Distance and mounting | Required working distance; flush/non-flush; body/thread size | Check target material, mounting clearances and manufacturer sensing data |
Supply and wiring | Supply range; two-, three- or four-wire arrangement | Do not assume the old and new device use the same wiring |
Output | PNP/NPN, NO/NC or specified analog/other signal | Match the PLC/input circuit and required switching behaviour |
Connection | Cable length or connector; pin assignment | A physically matching plug does not prove the same pinout |
Environment | Temperature, ingress, vibration and target speed | Confirm the model’s suitability and required response characteristics |
Price comparison: ask for the complete configuration
Proximity sensor prices vary by sensing technology, body, range, output, connection and series. Compare the same full reference, including cable or connector suffixes. If a connector cable or mounting bracket is needed, request it separately. A hobby optical module and an enclosed industrial proximity switch are different buying propositions. For alternatives, obtain a written comparison of the target, installation and electrical interface before purchase.
Send a purchase-ready enquiry
For a failed sensor, send the entire code, a photograph of the detection end and the connector/pin markings. State whether the PLC program and wiring must remain unchanged.
For a new detection point, describe what must be detected, its material, distance and movement. Include the PLC input specification and any constraints on body size, mounting and cable routing.
- Make/model or target material, method and required detection distance.
- Supply, wiring arrangement, output type and NO/NC logic.
- Body/thread dimensions, mounting, connector/pinout and cable length.
- Environment, quantity, permitted alternatives and delivery PIN code.
Checks before you approve the order
Check target effects
OMRON’s proximity guidance explains that detection conditions depend on target and installation. Use the model’s specified target and mounting data rather than treating nominal distance as a guarantee for every material.
Verify the input interface
PNP/NPN and NO/NC identify different aspects of the output. Confirm both with the PLC/input circuit before approving a replacement.
Keep the full suffix
Sensor suffixes can distinguish output, connector and cable variants. Carry the full approved reference onto the purchase order.

Questions about Industrial Sensors
What should I check before selecting industrial sensors?
A sensor's nominal sensing distance is not a universal detection distance for every target. Check the exact target, mounting and output compatibility.
What information is needed to quote industrial sensors?
Provide inductive, capacitive, photoelectric or application-specific sensing; sensing distance, target material and mounting; pNP/NPN, NO/NC and supply voltage; connector pinout, cable length and environment. Include the quantity, requested make or existing reference and delivery PIN code.
What information is required for a proximity sensor price?
Send make and full code, or specify sensing method, target, distance, supply, output, body size and cable/connector. Add quantity, accessories and destination.
Can an inductive sensor detect any material?
Inductive proximity sensors are intended for metallic targets, with model-specific effects from target material and geometry. Non-metal targets may need capacitive, photoelectric or another suitable sensing method.
Are PNP and NPN sensors interchangeable?
Not automatically. The sensor output must match the PLC or control input and its wiring. Confirm the electrical interface before substitution.
Does the same M12 connector guarantee compatibility?
No. Pin assignments, supply, output and mechanical coding must also match. Use the exact datasheets and connection drawings.
Can you help quote an obsolete sensor replacement?
Send the original code, datasheet if available, installation photographs and the detection/input requirements. Any proposed alternative should be technically approved before purchase.
