Hi guys,

I am working on a Automation project and I am wondering whether there is any probe that can emit signal to a standard PLC when iron rod is found inside a concrete wall.

Personally, I hope it can be avaliable from RS.

Thanks for your kind help in advence.

Haha, I found the correct name of this kind of sensor.

It's "Inductive proximity sensor" which can be find out easly in RS.

I found this in "Industrial Motor Contorl 5th edition , Stephen L.Herman" It's really a nice electrical book to mechanical engineer.:!)
