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.
Sensors with a constant correction factor have a constant sensing range on all metals such as steel, brass, aluminium or stainless steel.
This eliminates the need for the inconvenient adjustment of the sensing range to different metal objects.
The new M8 sensors are designed especially for use in machine tools in combination with oils and coolants.
The robust stainless steel housing, the IP67 protection rating and oil resistance are ideal features for use in harsh environments.
The M8 design is available flush and nonflush IE5391.
The sensing range is approximately 1.5 or 4mm.
Whether the temperatures are very low or high, these sensors can be used from -25C to 70C.
The connection is made via a robust M8 connector with integrated, clearly visible four-port LED for indication of the switching status.
Thanks to the permanently legible laser type label the inductive sensor can still be clearly identified after years. Request a free brochure from IFM Electronic ...
