AS-interface range handles heavy washdowns
IFM Electronic can offer a complete range of AS-interface products with high IP ratings and materials specifically for food and pharmaceutical industry requirements.
Now leading sensor manufacturer IFM Electronic has expanded its award-winning ProcessLine range with more splitter boxes well able to stand a good hosing down.
Two stable mates have joined the first unit introduced last year.
One is another AS-interface splitter, and yet another is a splitter box for conventionally wired devices.
All share the stainless steel housing rated to IP69K (high temperature, high pressure spray) in a shape designed to minimise bug traps.
Complementing the original four-input/three-output AS-i unit is an eight-way passive AS-i splitter for the connection of devices with integrated AS-interface, and an eight-way splitter for standard units on standard wiring.
The latter is available with a multicore PVC cable in lengths designed to reach to the panel.
Now into its second decade, the Actuator-Sensor Interface (AS-i) has established itself in many areas of production.
One of the main advantages of AS-i is the reduction in wiring with the dramatic cost saving which that brings.
The number of wires is reduced, and wiring faults are virtually eliminated. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
