Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 9, 2009

IFM Electronic has equipped its TR and TN series temperature sensors with IO-Link for parameter setting and diagnosis.

The compact TN-type units with an integrated temperature probe are distinguished by excellent response times, high pressure resistance and adaptive process-connections.

The latest versions of IFM Electronic popular TR and TN series temperature sensors are equipped with IO-Link for parameter setting an diagnosis.

The latest versions of IFM Electronic popular TR and TN series temperature sensors are equipped with IO-Link for parameter setting an diagnosis.

Programmable analogue, switching and IO-Link signals are generated in the range of -40 to +150C.

The TR accepts separate Pt100 and Pt1000 sensors in the temperature range of -40 to +300C.

Both series have a legible four-digit alphanumeric display.

Two pushbuttons allow direct local parameter setting.

A range of accessories, adapters and connectors ensure easy and safe integration into the process.

These units can be set via a PC, allowing the sensor to be set up in the office before being fitted onsite.

All that is needed, apart from a PXC with a USB 2.0 port, is one IFM Electronic interface cable and IFM's downloadable container FDT software.

This combination supplies power to the sensor while it is being programmed and sets the sensor up for process integration.

FDT standardises the communication interface between field devices and the control and is manufacturer-independent, allowing any FDT-enabled device to be addressed.
