Construction machines In your element Agriculture and forestry Municipal vehicles The name ifm electronic stands for a large range of different sensors and systems for automation technology. For more than forty-five years the family-run company has been researching, developing and producing with the aim of optimising technical processes and conserving resources. With industry and application know-how, ifm – one of the leading manufacturers of automation technology – successfully provides system solutions that are both innovative and economical. An extensive product range provides sufficient flexibility...

With industry-specific knowledge and global service branch office trade partner The ifm group of companies is present in over 70 countries with more than 5,200 employees and looks after more than 125,000 customers from the various industries. We take being close to the customer very seriously: service visits in the event of questions or requests, support for installation or set-up have become a standard for us. Your satisfaction drives us on. ifm electronic – a reliable partner for implementing your projects.

Construction machines ecomatmobile used in construction machines Sensors and controllers used in muddy and wet conditions We do not worry when leaving them out in the rain. Water, permanent condensation or dirt are no problem for our systems for mobile applications. The special mechanical design of the housing and a reliable sealing concept prevent the penetration of moisture. Suitable connectors and connection cables ensure that protection rating IP 69K does not end at the housing connections. Benefit from the many years of application know-how from ifm electronic for your construction machine!...

Sensors and controllers for shocks and vibrations Where the going gets tough, the material is exposed to permanent vibrations or extreme impact. This is why our sensors for mobile applications are fully potted. Connectors are protected against unintended loosening by a special vibration protection. The mechanical design of controllers and modules is especially rated for permanent shock and vibration. Whether on the field or in the forest: no challenge can be too hard for our systems.

Municipal vehicles Sensors and controllers in snowy and icy conditions That leaves us cold: extreme weather conditions with iciness or blazing heat are no problem for our systems for mobile applications. Their wide temperature range allows use in all climatic zones. All sensors and controllers must prove their resistance in cyclical temperature shock tests before leaving production. Resistant housing materials ensure that salt deposits, as they may arise during the winter when gritters are used, do not affect the product.

With thunder and lightning Sensors and controllers with thunder and lightning Even if high voltage is in the air: our sensors and control systems are not impressed. The complex electronics is protected against electromagnetic interference as detailed EMC tests have shown. Conducted interference is reliably filtered out and cannot affect the controllers. This ensures that the data exchange via the CAN interfaces functions reliably even under most adverse conditions such as in outdoor applications of transport and logistics.

5. Remote maintenance and diagnosis The detection of diagnostic data in the sensors and network components is the basis for a powerful and low-cost remote maintenance concept. Via a radio connection service, operating data is read and can be changed, if necessary. Thus faults can be rectified and machine functions can be optimised to the operating conditions. A service engineer on site is not necessary. The CANremote radio gateway transfers the data between the CAN and GSM / UMTS networks. The GPS option allows detection of machine positions and implementation of position-dependent functions...

Systems for mobile machines E1 approval and highest EMC resistance All sensors and control components meet the high electrical requirements for noise emission and immunity for components for mobile use. The units also have the E1 type approval by the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (German Federal Motor Transport Authority). This allows installation of the units on vehicles without invalidating their operating permit. Beyond the required EMC limit value of the E1 type approval all units have an increased EMC resistance of 100 V/m and withstand pulses from the on-board vehicle supply system without problems....

Safety controllers The integrated hardware and software functions as well as the programming according to IEC61131 are the basis for the use of ecomatmobile components in applications up to PL d (EN ISO 13849-1) or SILcl 2 (IEC 62061). The CANsafety extension allows the safe exchange of safety-critical data between bus participants e.g. two safety controllers on the same bus cable, parallel to the ”normal“ communication. Inductive sensor type IIM M30 sensor for mobile applications for position monitoring of the twistlocks in the spreader of the reach stacker. CompactModule Decentralised CANopen...
