Product catalog summary
Overview of Sensor Types and Applications
This document provides a comprehensive overview of various industrial sensors and modules, detailing their specifications, applications, and benefits in industrial settings. It covers inductive, laser, capacitive, ultrasonic, photoelectric, and process sensors, as well as industrial communication and IO-Link technology.
Inductive Sensors
  • Kplus Inductive Sensor: Suitable for metal object detection in confined spaces, with high magnetic field immunity and a non-stick coating for welding applications.
  • Smart Sensor with IO-Link: Provides continuous position feedback and adaptable switch points, ideal for conveyor technology and factory automation.
  • Full-Metal Sensors: Designed for extreme conditions with anti-spatter coating, suitable for welding and metal-cutting applications.
  • M8 Design Sensor: Compact with a long range, suitable for restricted spaces with high protection ratings.
Laser and Distance Sensors
  • OGD Reflectivity: Combines distance and reflectivity measurement.
  • OGD Precision and Long Range: Offers millimeter precision and long-range capabilities for quality checks.
Capacitive and Magnetic Sensors
  • KQ10: Monitors point levels continuously, capable of detecting granulates or liquids through non-metallic walls.
  • Robust Position Sensor: Designed for welding applications with early maintenance detection via IO-Link.
Ultrasonic Sensors
Provides continuous level measurement and object detection up to 8 meters, unaffected by color, transparency, or surface shine.
Photoelectric and Optical Sensors
  • Measuring Photoelectric Sensor: Compact design for the food industry.
  • Laser Fork Sensors: Accurate detection of tiny objects.
Feedback Systems and Touch Sensors
  • Valve Sensors: Direct connection to control valves for continuous feedback and diagnostics.
  • Multi-Colour Touch Sensors: Features IO-Link for versatile applications.
Industrial Imaging and 3D Sensors
3D sensors for flexible automation and volume control in segmented containers.
Process Sensors
  • Pressure Sensors: Hygienic approval for small pipes and robust designs for homogenizers.
  • Flow Sensors: Measures consumption of industrial gases and offers high-level thermal compressed air metering.
  • Temperature Sensors: Self-checking calibration technology and fast hygienic transmitters.
Industrial Communication and IO-Link
  • AS-i CompactM8 Modules: Offers a variety of options in a compact space.
  • IO-Link Masters: Designed for the automotive industry with starter kits available.
Identification Systems and Connection Technology
  • RFID Systems: New antenna versions and compact HF RFID systems.
  • ecolink M12 and M8: Designed for hygienic and wet areas, with T splitters for demanding applications.
Condition Monitoring and Controllers
  • Vibration Monitoring Systems: Simple implementation for industrial condition monitoring.
  • ecomatController: Combines safety and standard PLC in one unit.
Technical Specifications
The sensors operate on 10-30 V DC with a current consumption of less than 20 mA. They offer short-circuit and reverse polarity protection, a current rating of 100 mA, and a voltage drop of less than 2.5 V. The protection rating ranges from IP 65 to IP 69K.
Applications and Recommendations
These sensors are ideal for use in harsh industrial environments, hygienic and wet areas, and applications requiring high precision, such as the food industry and precision engineering. They are also suitable for automated sorting applications due to their ability to differentiate objects based on reflectivity and distance.
Conclusion
The document provides a comprehensive guide on the integration and functionality of various sensors and modules within industrial networks, emphasizing the ease of sensor connection, reliable digital data transmission, and direct IT connectivity.
