COMMON PROXIMITY SENSOR FAULTS

  • NO SENSOR OUTPUT

    The sensor may have failed internally, lost its supply voltage, or developed damaged wiring.

  • INCORRECT SENSOR ALIGNMENT

    A healthy sensor positioned outside its effective sensing range can create intermittent or missing machine signals.

  • DAMAGED SENSOR FACE

    Impact, vibration, heat, moisture, or product contact can physically damage the sensing surface.

  • BROKEN MACHINE CABLING

    Flexing and vibration frequently damage sensor cables, especially around moving machine sections.

  • PLC INPUT NOT RESPONDING

    The sensor may switch correctly while the PLC input, terminal, or intermediate wiring remains faulty.

  • INCORRECT SENSOR TYPE

    Replacing PNP/NPN or normally-open/normally-closed devices incorrectly can prevent proper controller operation.

The Lectro Advantage

WHY CHOOSE LECTRO POWER SYSTEMS?

  • FIELD DEVICE DIAGNOSTICS

    We test the sensor at the machine and confirm whether its output reaches the controller.

  • PLC INPUT TESTING

    We can trace signals through terminals and machine wiring to PLC I/O.

  • CORRECT REPLACEMENT SELECTION

    We assess supply voltage, output configuration, sensing distance, and physical requirements before replacement.
