Analogue input modules made in stainless steel
IFM Electronic has introduced four -channel AS-i analogue input modules in stainless steel with protection rating IP 68 / IP 69 K and ECOLAB certification.
The number of wires are lessened, wiring faults virtually eliminated Recently introduced by sensor market leader and AS-i founder member ifm electronic, field modules can now be used in assembly automation areas where space is at a premium.
These CompactLine modules feature M8 input connectors, complementing sensors in automated assembly, and leading to a module small enough to be easily tucked away on the machine.
Now that safety devices can also be incorporated into AS-i, the whole concept becomes even more cost effective.
Interfaces to all common PLCs and bus systems make integration and standardisation not only easy, but desirable.
ifm electronic offers the widest range of AS-interface components, from stand-alone controllers, bus interfaces and power supplies through to all the field devices necessary for connection of inputs and outputs. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
