Source IFM instruments for process monitoring and machine automation. Start with the measured variable and operating conditions or send the full part number of an installed sensor. Configuration, connections and interfaces are checked for the exact version.
Sensors within a series may differ in range, output and process connection. IO-Link enquiries also require information about the master, connected device and control network.
IG inductive sensors detect metal without contact. Sensing distance depends on the sensor and target material. Kplus is a specific technology, not a feature of every IFM sensor.
For selection: Full part number, body diameter and length, flush or non-flush mounting, distance, target metal, voltage, PNP/NPN, NO/NC and pin assignment.
O6H, O6T, O6P and O6S/O6E cover different diffuse, background-suppression, retro-reflective and through-beam arrangements. O3D is a separate class for 3D monitoring. IO-Link availability depends on the part number.
For selection: Code, sensing principle, distance, object size and surface, background, reflector or receiver, output and connector; for O3D, field of view and inspection task.
PN covers industrial pressure monitoring; PI includes versions for hygienic applications. Range, process connection, seal material and output depend on the exact part number.
For selection: Code, range and units, medium, temperature, thread or adapter, seal, switching or analog output or IO-Link, voltage and connector.
SM uses magnetic-inductive measurement for suitable conductive liquids. SD measures compressed air and specified gases. SA/SI use a thermal principle; these methods are not interchangeable for every application.
For selection: Code, liquid or gas composition, flow range, pipe diameter, pressure and temperature, conductivity for SM, output, connection and installation.
LMT provides point-level detection. LR uses guided radar, while LK is a separate family for continuous measurement. Point detection and continuous level measurement require different selections.
For selection: Code, liquid or bulk material, vessel, range or switching point, probe length, deposits or foam, temperature, connection and output.
TN includes indication and monitoring functions; TA/TD are transmitters in different configurations. IFM also offers modular temperature systems. Immersion dimensions and connections must fit the installation.
For selection: Code, range, medium, immersion length and diameter, thread or thermowell, response time, output, supply and cable or connector.
AL11, AL12, AL13 and AL19 masters connect compatible sensors and actuators to control systems. Interfaces vary by version; moneo support also depends on firmware and connection method.
For selection: Full master code, PLC network, port number and type, connected devices, supply, connector coding and firmware; existing configuration and sensor IODDs for replacement.
VVB001 and VVB0xx sensors monitor machine vibration and communicate through IO-Link. Mounting and evaluated quantities must suit the machine and diagnostic task.
For selection: Full code, machine type, rotational speed, mounting point and method, required quantities, temperature, master connection and configuration.
EVC, EVT, EVF, EVM and EVW cover different operating environments. ecolink includes cables, connectors and distribution components. An M12 size alone does not establish matching coding or pin assignment.
For selection: Code, M8/M12 and coding, contact count, pin assignment, straight or angled connector, length, jacket material, cable movement and environment.
Specify the measured variable, target or medium, operating range, temperature and mounting conditions. Add the supply voltage, required output or interface and controller connection. Attach a diagram or specification when selecting several devices for one process area.
Provide full part number, quantity, marking photos and the existing connection details. Cables require connector type, pin count, coding, length and jacket material; instruments require connection, range, output and settings. Alternatives are checked against these parameters, not appearance alone.
Include quantity and delivery location. Attach a parts list, wiring diagram or marking photo.
