ANSI/IEEE Ultrasonic NC switching output form

IEEE-library form of ultrasonic nc switching output: this form identifies a normally-closed switching output in the ultrasonic sensor family.

In plain English

What does ANSI/IEEE Ultrasonic NC switching output form mean?

This reference locates ultrasonic nc switching output in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented ultrasonic switches family. This form identifies a normally-closed switching output in the ultrasonic sensor family. The public library uses HPX12U for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

A simple example

Read the operating mechanism and the contact reference state together. Cross-reference every associated contact to the same device and show which movement, signal or reset changes its condition; the symbol alone does not establish the complete switching sequence.

What the drawings help you do

Identify the reference sensing condition and connected control input. Normally closed does not imply a safety-rated diagnostic output. Identify the reference sensing condition and connected control input. Normally closed does not imply a safety-rated diagnostic output. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted.

This particular reference

IEEE-library form of ultrasonic nc switching output: this form identifies a normally-closed switching output in the ultrasonic sensor family. Normally closed does not imply a safety-rated diagnostic output.

Normally open / normally closed
The contact state in the normal condition defined for the drawing.
Signal
Electrical information passed between devices, rather than necessarily the main power supply.
Rating
A value stating the conditions for which equipment is specified.

How to read it

  • Identify the reference sensing condition and connected control input.
  • Normally closed does not imply a safety-rated diagnostic output.

Information to show or reference

  • Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
  • Identify the reference sensing condition and connected control input.
  • Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.

A distinction that matters

Normally closed does not imply a safety-rated diagnostic output.
