Fluids Clear water or black coffee – the ultrasonic sensor registers virtually all liquids. Colour Ruby red, steel blue, lemon yellow... What’s your favourite colour? The ultrasonic sensor loves them all. Missing contrast White on white, black on black? No problem for the ultrasonic sensor. Transparency Sheets of glass and skin-thin foils – the ultrasonic sensor detects them all reliably. Textiles Velvet and leather – almost all fabrics can be detected. Filling-level control Coarse grains, chips or fine sand – when it comes to level control, the ultrasonic sensor is unbe

Example of the system architecture > In lO-Link, the distances measured are cyclically transmitted to the master; thus the lO-Link mode can replace an analogue output at no significant expense. > Following a sensor failure, the controller can automatically reload all the settings into the new sensor. > Reduction in planning outlay achieved from a standardised integration of devices into the controller via a manufacturer-independent IODD description file. > Reduced startup times thanks to a centralised provision of data and parameters in the controller. > Greater equipment availability levels...
