The document summarizes a new capacitive sensor series from ifm that uses IO-Link technology. The sensors can continuously detect liquid levels and transmit process values, parameter settings, and diagnostics via IO-Link. They are distinguished by high protection ratings, temperature resistance up to 110°C, and high EMC resistance. An LED display allows users to easily see and adjust the switch point for their application.

2. From sensor to ERP.
The capacitive sensor series with IO-Link
sets new standards and prepares the user
perfectly for Industry 4.0. You can com-
bine several capacitive sensors via IO-Link
for continuous level detection.
Use capacitive sensors to
“see” and evaluate process
values More functions:
Switching outputs, timer func-
tions as well as normally closed /
normally open and window
functions.
Communicative:
Process values, parameter settings
and diagnostics can be transferred
and evaluated via IO-Link.
Repeatable:
Parameter setting of many
sensors via “copy & paste” in
the LINERECORDER SENSOR soft-
ware or via a memory plug.
Perfect:
Ingeniously simple thanks to the
LED display.

3. For industrial
applications
The potentiometer
without contact
guarantees the
high protection
rating IP 69K.
Medium tempera-
tures up to 110 °C
are no problem.
The newly devel-
oped units are
distinguished by
a very high EMC
resistance up to
30,000 volts.

The perfect switch point is guaranteed.
The 12-point LED display allows the user
to “see” the switch point and easily adjust
it to suit the application conditions.
Green LEDs to the left and right next to
the yellow switch point LED in the centre
indicate the switch point reliability.
Issues with deposits or changes of the
material are directly indicated on the sen-
sor and the user can immediately readjust
it. An imminent error can be detected in
good time and avoided, e.g. for detection
of bulk material or milk through the
packaging.
