Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides an overview of safety technology solutions offered by ifm electronic, focusing on fail-safe inductive sensors and safety light curtains. These technologies are designed to enhance safety for operators and machinery in industrial settings.
Fail-Safe Inductive Sensors
ifm's fail-safe inductive sensors do not require a special counterpart, allowing for direct detection of metallic workpiece carriers. They can be connected to safety evaluation units such as safety relays, programmable logic modules, or safe PLCs using standardized M12 connectors.
Safety Light Curtains
These devices provide non-contact detection to protect hazardous areas. They are certified to IEC 61496 type 4/type 2, IEC 62061 SIL 3/SIL 1, and ISO 13849 PL e/PL c. The light curtains are available in various ranges and protection ratings, suitable for industrial applications.
Standards and Certifications
ifm products comply with safety standards IEC 62061 (SIL) and ISO 13849 (PL), certified by TÜV. Inductive and optical safety sensors meet SIL 2/PL d to SIL 3/PL e requirements.
AS-i Safety at Work
This system allows for cost-effective safety solutions, replacing conventional evaluation units with AS-i safety monitors. It supports both standard and safe components via a common cable.
SmartPLC
The SmartPLC combines a fail-safe PLC and a standard PLC in one housing, enabling comprehensive plant control with integrated safety functions and visualizations.
Conclusion
ifm electronic offers innovative and practice-oriented safety solutions, ensuring compliance with safety standards and minimizing risks in industrial environments. For further information or support, ifm provides multimedia e-learning modules and customer service.

Be on the safe side. Safe detection of metal, robust and wear-free: fail-safe inductive sensors. Without counterpart: Applications such as position detection can be solved without a specific counterpart. Unlike conventional safety switches, the ifm safety sensors do not require a special counterpart. This means that direct detection of metallic workpiece carriers, for example, is no longer a problem. ifm fail-safe sensors can be connected to safety evaluation units, i.e. to safety relays, programmable logic modules or Safe up to the highest class: safe PLCs. The OSSDs (outputs) are connected...
