IEC 60947-5-7:2024

IEC 60947-5-7:2024 states the requirements for proximity devices that correspond to the scope of IEC 60947-5-2:2019 with analog output (PDAO) and/or a digital output to transmit a corresponding digital value representing the detected sensing input. These devices can provide additional parameters. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) New structure; b) Update and expansion of definitions on analog output properties; c) Expanded performance requirements on analog output; d) Update and new normative references; e) Update of EMC requirements; f) Harmonization with IEC 62828 series; g) Harmonization with IEC 62683 and IEC 61987 definitions; h) Harmonization with IEC 61131-2 requirements; i) Update of the Annex A (former Annex G), Example of the determination of the conformity; j) New Annex B, Overview tests and influence quantities; k) New Annex C, Additional requirements for proximity switches with analog output incorporating a built-in communication interface complying with IEC 61131-9; l) New Annex D, Main characteristics for proximity devices with analog output.
