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.
Inductive proximity sensors made for metalworking
Proximity sensors from ifm electronic are designed to resist contact with metal components and have a long-lasting anti-spatter coating.
The unit offers a pulse output for monitoring revolutions/min and a switching output that indicates under-speed and over-speed conditions.
The four-wire DC speed monitor provides a 12mm non-flush sensing range with a three-LED status display for power, switching and input pulses.
M18 speed monitors are suitable for simple under-speed monitoring applications such as belt conveyors, screw conveyors, pumps, turbines, blockage on bucket elevators, exhaust fans, and blowers in ventilation systems.
As over-speed monitors, they perform in applications such as wind power systems or load monitoring on hoists.
The compact M18 speed monitor is a four-wire DC unit which connects via an industry standard M12 connector.
IFM's line of DIN-rail mountable speed monitors evaluate pulse frequency, rotational speed, linear speed, and machine cycles.
The speed monitor receives an external pulse train from a single position sensor for speed evaluation and features programmable setup, status LEDs, and a 7-segment display.
Other DIN-rail units can be used in applications such as direction, slip, and synchronous detection.
Slip and synchronous monitoring protects hoists from misalignment, and conveyor belts and slipping clutches from wear and destruction.
Direction monitoring signals wrong direction of rotation, e g, of twin pumps.
An integrated frequency-to-current converter changes pulse sequences into analog signals, 0 /4-20mA or 0-10V.
DIN-rail mountable speed monitors have an operating voltage of 100-240V AC/DC or 24V DC.
