Full-metal sensors, T, R, C and S series

Full-metal sensor of the C series developed for use under extremeinfluences such as oils, coolants andvibration. The suitability for the appli-cation is checked by a tough test pro-gram. The sensors are subjected to

extreme mechanical shocks and vibra-tions.

For hygienicand wet areas

For industrialapplications

For oils andcoolants

For every application.The safest bet when the going gets tough.

Installed in welding applications, thesensor of the R series detects the posi-tion of the metal target. Its non-stickcoating makes it resistant to weldspatter. Already subjected to theimpact test in the development stage,it withstands the harsh conditions ofthe metalworking industry.

ull-metal sensor of the T seriesnitors the valve positions in a dairy.

ccessfully carried out temperatureock tests prove the reliability of the

sors in this industry. Further testseck, among others, ageing andterial resistance.

Every applicationhas specific re-quirements for

sensors.

Therefore, ifm hasdeveloped three

series of full-metalinductive sensorswhich are opti-mised for the re-quirements ofdifferent environ-mental conditions.

The new non-flush

full-metal sensorsfrom ifm stand outthanks to high

sensing ranges of6 to 25 mm notonly on steel but

also on stainlesssteel, even withsmall targets.Further excellentcharacteristics in-clude an extremelyhigh temperaturerange up to 100 C,the protectionrating IP 69K, a

special non-stickcoating or a cor-rection factor ofK = 0.

The connectors ofthe ecolink seriesare ideally compa-tible with the full-metal inductive

sensors and to-gether form a

sealed system.

Magnetic sensorsfrom ifmelectronic are used

for non-contactdetection of posi-tions, e.g. of mag-nets and pigs.The sensors candetect magnetsthrough materialslike stainless steel,non-ferrous metal,aluminium, plasticand glass.

Due to the GMRtechnology themagnetic sensors

feature very longsensing rangesand high switchingfrequencies.Therefore, theycan be used in par-ticularly demand-ing applications.

The sensors areavailable in M12and M18 cylindri-cal housings withconnector.

T series:Completely sealed for hygienic

and wet areas the full-metal

sensors of the T series have been

specially designed for use in the

food industry. The ecolink EVT

connector forms a sealed system

together with the sensor.

R series:Robust and resistant to mechani-

cal stress the full-metal sensors

of the R series are designed for

the metalworking and automo-

tive industries. The sensing face

with a special coating lets weld

spatter roll off. Weld slag

resistant nuts and cables make

ecolink EVW the perfect partner

for sensors.

C series:Resistant to oils and coolants

the full-metal sensors of the

C series are ideal for use in the

metalworking industry. The oil-

resistant ecolink EVC connector

ensures a higher operational

reliability due to the vibration

protection with end stop.

S series:The standard magnetic sensors

Vision sensor O2V

Assessment of variable featuresof objects and scenes.

While commonvision sensorscheck parts on the

basis of definedcontours (like theefector dualis con-tour sensor O2D)the new O2Vvision sensor com-

pares on the basisof variable featu-res.

Instead of a de-fined contour theuser determinesrelative featuresused by the sensorto assess an object

or a scene.

Within adjustabletolerances the sen-

sor determines

characteristics suchas the area of anobject (number of

pixels), the innerand outer object

size of an irregularobject geometry,roundness or com-

pactness or thenumber of availa-ble holes.Furthermore, thegrey-scale valuescan also be usedfor assessment.

The O2V visionsensor is reliablyused for the full /

empty control oftransport and pro-duction vessels.The photo on theright shows, forexample, 100 %empty control of achocolate mould.

Check objects for presence,size, position or completeness.

e vision sensor checks the presenceadhesive labels or imprints, such asoduction or best before date.e sensor also detects colour marksh as mounting points or defectrks applied by machine or by hand.

Dual-sheet detection for automatedgripper systems as is frequently usedin the automotive industry is just aspossible as the counting of sheets orfastening clips. Due to their varyingreflections it is difficult to representthem by means of a contour.

The object inspection unit checks thepresence or position of weld seams,

weld spots or areas which went bluein variably degrees due to the highwelding temperature. Even irregularlyapplied materials such as glues orgreases are detected.

New level sensor,ignores foam and build up.


For hygienic areasand viscous media

Point level sensor type LMT

pecially hygienic: the surface charac-istics of the PEEK tip of the sensor is< 0.8 . Adherence of dirt andidues of media is hardly possible.

Using the default setting the sensordetects certain media but not theirdeposits or foam. Even for viscous andsticky products the LMT point levelsensor provides reliable operation.

In the food indus-try deposits andfoam often make

reliable limitdetection difficult.With the hygienic

point level sensorLMT they can be

suppressed.

Therefore the LMTsensor can reliablyprovide full or

empty signals oftanks and ensurerun-dry protectionof pumps.

IO-Link data storage quick and easy.



IO-Link Memory Plug

When used inconjunction withIO-Link sensors,

the memory plugreads and storesdata and para-meters.

It can be installedoutside the critical

zone so that theparameters areprotected andquickly accessibleeven when the

sensor has beendestroyed.Especially formachine operators

who have not yetused an IO-Linkmaster this unit isan easy, time-

saving and low-

cost alternative fordata storage.

The parameters

are automaticallyexchanged be-tween the memory

plug and the IO-Link sensor. If the

parameters of asensor are chang-ed, the memory

plug detects thisand automaticallyupdates itself.Thus, the machineoperator hasalways stored thelatest sensor para-

meters. For servic-ing, you just haveto connect the

same type of sen-sor and the memo-

ry plug loads auto-matically the stor-ed data to the

sensor duringconnection.There is no com-munication be-tween the sensorand the memory

plug during oper-ation of themachine.The sensor signalsare linked throughwithout beingchanged.

Thanks to the non-volatile memory

the memory plugcan be reconfig-ured as often asrequired and isre-usable.

The new ifmpower supplies aredifferent. They

provide an intelli-gent power reser-ve. At a 1.5-foldnominal load the

power suppliescan provide extracurrent for 5 s,and for a longertime in case oflower overload.This additional

power allows diffi-cult loads to start(motors, DC/DCconverters).

The applicationshowever are ver-

satile: The primary

power suppliesprovide sensors,actuators, control-lers but also com-

plex loads such asmotors or DC/DCconverters withcurrent.

After power on,the power supplies

start, even with-out minimum load,and are, of course,

short-circuit proofand overload pro-

tected.

They ensure astable output vol-tage at different

loads and fluc-tuating input vol-tages. This guaran-tees operationalreliability andmaximum plantuptime.

Two LEDs and aDCok output indi-cate and signal theoperating states.

The units can beused worldwidedue to their wide-range input and

Voltage supplyfor AS-Interface


Extra power:Intelligent power reserve of

50 % for at least 5 s without

voltage dip.

Universal:Wide-range input,

single phase 100...240 V AC

Well stowed:Robust metal housing or compact

plastic housing.

Cool:High degree of efficiency of up

to 90 %, therefore only minimum

control cabinet heating.

Tolerant:Mains buffering depending

on the version up to 450 ms at

nominal voltage.

Informative:Operating status signalled by

LEDs and DCok output.

Bus-compatible:Special versions for the AS-i bus

system.

Tight and sealed due to theunique profiled sealing ring and vibration protection.

ecolink M8 connectors, T series

Industrial M8round connectorsare a standard intodays automa-tion technology.

Applications inwet areas howeverhave been largelyavoided so fardue to the poor

sealing.

The reason is theuse of O-rings.They are not

suitable for theseconnectors, be-cause they rarelyachieve the re-quired ingressresistance for rea-

sons of design.

A further problemwith conventionalM8 connectors: inapplications with

strong shocks andvibration thecoupling nuts areinsufficiently

protected againstunintended loos-ening.

In contrast, thenew ecolink M8connectors are

ingress resistantup to IP 67, IP 68and IP 69K, fur-thermore theyhave a shock andvibration resistantfitting.

The connectors are100 % compatibleand fit on all stan-dardised M8 plugs.Installation is donemanually. Manualtightening of thenut is sufficient toguarantee a high

protection ratingand a high shockand vibration resis-tance.

M8 connectors forhighest demands.

The unique pro-filed sealing ringlies against theinside of theconnector. Like afillet, the diameterincreases and endsin a plane support

surface. The pro-filed seal is firmlykept in its positionby the metal ringand is thereforecaptive. The result:

protection ratingIP 67, IP 68 andIP 69K.

Incomparable. Radially andaxially ingress resistant.

ndard solution for industrial appli-ions: the C series with PUR cable iso resistant against oils and coolants.e T series for hygienic and wetas, however, has a PVC cable and

using as well as a coupling nutde of stainless steel.

Application:Unique in the market the

T series for hygienic and wet

areas and the C series for oils and

coolants as well as standard

applications.

Ingress-protected:The innovative profiled sealing

ring dimensionally stable and

captive provides the high

protection ratings IP 67, IP 68

and IP 69K.

Secure:The saw-tooth type vibration pro-

tection ensures that the nut doesnot become loose unintentionally

in case of shock and vibration.

This is proven in tests with 750 g

and 1 million cycles.

Manual mounting:Manual tightening of the nut

guarantees the high protection

rating as well as a high shock

and vibration resistance.

Visible:Transparent black housing for

an optimum visibility of the LED

even in bright lighting conditions.

Standardised:The connection technology

conforms to the M8 standard

EN 61076 and is therefore

compatible with all common

M8 connectors.

M8 ecolink connectors now also for hygienic and wet areas.
