ifm efector’s robust pressure sensor now communicates all data flexibly via switching outputs or IO-Link 1.1.
Process data and diagnostic information are transmitted easily using a standard cable. Also, parameter setting of this PN7-type pressure sensor also uses the IO-Link communication technology. An IO-Link master saves the parameters of the connected sensor and transmits them when the sensor is replaced by a device of the same type. This eliminates the need for a new parameter setting. If the IO-Link function is not used, then the pressure sensor operates as before, with two switching outputs (SIO mode) or a switching output and a diagnostic output.
Additionally, the sensor has high switch point accuracy and switching frequency, as well as being robust. The overload-protected ceramic measuring cell withstands more than 100 million switching cycles, the company claims.
Versions with pressure ranges between -1 and 600 bar are available.
