The new capacitive KQ sensor from ifm electronic allows easy parameter setting via IO-Link before installation. The sensors are ideal for position and level detection and the IO-Link allows versatile data processing. It features a clearly visible display of the switching status with a freely selectable NO/NC function. Mounting adaptors as well as cable ties guarantee easy and fast installation.
Capacitive sensors detect bulk materials or liquids through nonmetallic vessel walls. Typical applications for the detection of these products can be found in the semiconductor, paper and wood industries.
The parameters can either be set via the buttons on the sensor or via the IO-Link interface. This can be done using a USB interface or a memory plug. A standard M12 cable transmits process data, parameters and diagnostic information to a connected IO-Link master. When IO-Link is not in use, the sensor works with one switching output.
ifm’s existing capacitive sensor range was enhanced with the IO-Link feature, and data as well as the order numbers remain the same.
