1. Ferrous target detection
A machine may need a discrete signal when a steel target reaches a defined position.
The NPN normally open output can switch a compatible control input as a suitable ferrous target approaches within the set distance.

Omron TL-Q5MC1-F-Z 2M rectangular inductive sensor with 5 mm sensing, NPN normally open output and a 2 m cable.
The Omron TL-Q5MC1-F-Z 2M is a rectangular inductive proximity sensor in the TL-Q 5 mm sensing family. The family configuration uses a DC three-wire NPN open-collector normally open output, with a 12 to 24 VDC rated supply and 2 m cable. OMRON's family specification lists a 50 mA maximum output load, IP67 protection and a -25 to 70 °C operating range; supply status for this exact suffix is not confirmed.

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
A machine may need a discrete signal when a steel target reaches a defined position.
The NPN normally open output can switch a compatible control input as a suitable ferrous target approaches within the set distance.
An assembly station may need to sense a metal component without physical contact.
Mount the rectangular sensor near the target, then validate the gap, target dimensions and PLC input load against the OMRON specifications.
