Easy remote setting gives users better control
It is now even easier to monitor the speed of rotating or linear motion with the new range of devices from ifm electronic. Consisting of eight devices, from M8 to M30 cylindrical types and a 40x40mm cubic design, the new DI5 range uses inductive technology to detect a flag on a moving part the internally compares the pulse train frequency with a pre-set value. The unit will signal if the speed either drops below or exceeds the pre-set. The highest adjustable switchpoint is 24000 pulses/min.
IO-Link communication built-in means the operator can set the trigger speed remotely but also see feedback from the sensor of the actual speed. Window, single-point and two-point modes are available, along with further selectable parameters and diagnostics.
The user can also externally adjust the start-up delay between 0 and 30 seconds, to avoid a false trip before the machine has reached operational speeds. Full use of IO-Link means that the set parameters are saved and easily transferred.
All devices in the DI5 range can operate from temperatures as low as 40 degrees C below freezing and up to 85 degrees. Protection ratings up to IP69K are also included.
ifm is committed to working closely with its customers to develop products which precisely match their needs, and the company provides expert, readily accessible technical support to help users maximise the benefits they gain from ifm products.
