Inductive switches meet SIL2 and SIL3 standards

All failsafe inductive switches from IFM electronic are constructed with full redundant and diverse internal circuits, certified by the TUV Rhineland.

IFM Electronic has released inductive sensors which meet SIL2 and SIL3 safety standards.

The proximity sensors are available in in M12 (SIL2) or M18, M30 and cube styles (SIL3).

Designed with two output signal switching devices built in, the new fail-safe series will work with conventional safety relays and safety PLCs.

No special demands such as shielding, twisted wires or separate laying are placed on the industrial standard M12 connection.

The sensor is simply connected to existing evaluation units, safety controllers and safe bus systems using a common unscreened 4-core cable.

The IFM electronic fail-safe inductive system continuously monitors coil damage and component health.

Any fault, at any time is instantly signalled.

All failsafe inductive switches from IFM electronic are constructed with full redundant internal circuits, certified by the TUV Rhineland.

They provide all the advantages of an inductive sensor: with no moving parts, an IP67 rating and a standard M12 connector.
