Need help in connecting a 12v dc motor with a capacitive sensor
Need help in connecting a 12v dc motor with a capacitive sensor
(OP)
I have a 12v dc motor speed controller (UK1133), and I want to connect a capacitive sensor (CR30-15DP) with it. I want to know please how could I do that? Thank you.

googling your numbers, I got this as the second hit:

Is that your speed control?
Do you see anything in that manual that suggests a point to connect a capacitive proximity sensor?
Sheesh, and I'm a mech type.
Is this your sensor? (also found in the top few lines of a google search):

Presumably, you were looking for the prox to sense shaft speed? In that case you'll need a counter/timer display to pick up the prox output and convert it to an rpm signal. Try googling "counter/timer display"
Hint: you will need something attached to the shaft to give the prox sensor something to sense. Like a cam, perhaps.

Here are some specifications:
• Sensor (CR30-15DP): sensing distance 15 mm (+/- 10%)
o Power supply: 12v dc
o Current consumption: max. 15 mA
o Response frequency: 50 Hz
o Residual voltage: max. 1.5 V
o Control output: Max. 200 mA
o PNP wiring
• Motor:
o Voltage: 12 V dc
o Imax: 10 A
• Motor controller speed (UK1133):
o Power supply: 12 V dc
o Imax: 50 A
o Doesn't have any additional input
Thank you for your help

Or, install the sensor between the driven object and the fixed object. When the driven object pushes the sensor up against the fixed object and destroys it, the motor will stall and stop.
Joking, but I did once see a similar installation of a limit switch on equipment that handled logs in a mill. It actually worked. (Once)
