1. Ferrous target detection
A machine may need a PLC input when a steel target enters a monitored position.
The normally open PNP output can provide a sourcing signal as a suitable target enters the 5 mm sensing zone; verify PLC input compatibility.

Omron TL-Q5MB1-Z 2M rectangular inductive sensor with 5 mm sensing, PNP normally open output and a 2 m pre-wired cable.
The Omron TL-Q5MB1-Z 2M is an unshielded rectangular inductive proximity sensor for detecting ferrous targets at a nominal 5 mm sensing distance. Its DC three-wire PNP open-collector output is normally open, with a 12 to 24 VDC rated supply and a 2 m pre-wired cable. The TL-Q family is specified for IP67 protection and operation from -25 to 70 °C; current supply status for the exact -Z suffix is not confirmed.

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
A machine may need a PLC input when a steel target enters a monitored position.
The normally open PNP output can provide a sourcing signal as a suitable target enters the 5 mm sensing zone; verify PLC input compatibility.
A conveyor or assembly fixture may need contactless detection of a nearby metal part.
Mount the unshielded sensor with the target within the specified set distance and connect its 2 m lead to a compatible DC input.
