BS EN 60947-5-7:2003

What is BS EN 60947-5-7 - Requirements for proximity devices with analogue output about?  

BS EN 60947-5-7 is a British standard as a part of the IEC 60947 series that states the requirements for proximity devices with analogue output. They may consist of one or more parts. 

The requirements of IEC 60947-5-2 (proximity switches) apply with the additions or modifications as stated in BS EN 60947-5-7.  

BS EN 60947-5-7 modifies the relevant requirements of IEC 60947-5-2, dealing with the requirements for proximity switches with semiconductor switching elements, to make them applicable to proximity devices with analogue output. 

Who is BS EN 60947-5-7 - Requirements for proximity devices with analogue output for? 

BS EN 60947-5-7 on requirements for proximity devices with analogue output is useful for: 

• The electrical industry 
• The electromagnetic industry 
• Electrical equipment manufacturers 
• Quality control personnel 
• The mechanical industry 

Why should you use BS EN 60947-5-7 - Requirements for proximity devices with analogue output?  

A proximity switch is used to determine how close an object is to another object, or how close an object is to another object. As a result, these switches can be used to determine whether or not an item is present. Proximity sensors are precise, have fast switching rates, and can work in a variety of conditions. Metallic and non-metallic items can be detected via capacitive sensors. It has a fast speed and a low price. 

BS EN 60947-5-7 provides its users with guidelines for the basic operation of a proximity device, output elements characteristics, classification according to the analogue output and the constructional and performance requirements. Using BS EN 60947-5-7 guidelines ensures safety, electromagnetic compatibility, quality assurance and high quality for longer service life.
