Gateways take control of AS-i slaves
AS-i gateways come with M4 master profile support for all AS-i slaves from specifications 1.0 to 3.0.
Capacitive sensors can see through walls
Sensors from are optimised for the detection of conductive media through nonmetallic walls or on bypasses.
The extensive choice of models includes very precise background suppression up to a startling 1.8m, where the innovative setting couldn't be simpler to use, through to long-range versions for general applications where no setting is needed.
With state-of-the-art technology as well as outstanding performance and an attractive price /performance ratio this range embodies IFM Electronic's policy of innovation.
Precise background suppression versions feature a range of 1.4m, using a potentiometer, and 1.8m with an easy, intuitive pushbutton control.
The through-beam versions reach 20m, and the retroreflective devices cover 7m or more.
All devices are sealed to a minimum of IP67 and, as is now standard from IFM Electronic, the EMC rating is to the highest generic requirements of EN61000, not the lower product standards.
Easy installation is ensured by a clever mounting concept, with special fixtures as well as an adapter plate for retrofitting.
The plug can be rotated by 270 degrees so that it can be aligned in any direction.
Mounting accessories for easy installation and adjustment or very robust protection, all at prices the user would struggle to achieve individually, complement the range. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
