Hello,
I want to install a discrete sensor in a class 1 div 2 area. It needs 24VDC input and will give a discrete out of 24VDC as well that goes to a PLC. It's a Keyence AI pattern matching sensor and specifically states that it cannot be used in a hazardous location.
*I know that probably means I have to look elsewhere for a suitable sensor but just looking to get a second opinion from more experienced people*
My question is this, can I simply use it along with a Pepperl+Fuchs or Allen Bradley I.S barrier and expect it to be suitable for the hazardous area?
Here's some input and output specs from the sensor manual -
