Temperature Measurement


Temperature transducers from ifm electronic

December 2011 Temperature Measurement

Three more temperature transducers have been launched by ifm electronic to augment its already extensive selection. The new compact versions of the TA series provide either a 4 to 20 mA output signal, or connect directly to AS-interface. As long as the master is at least to specification 2.1 the built-in AS-i slave in the temperature sensor is recognised immediately and data transferred with no need for further intervention. The value is transmitted as degrees Celsius, so no conversion is required.

All three TA units incorporate a Class A Pt1000 sensing element for accuracy and speed of response, reacting as quickly as 1 s. Measurable temperature ranges start at –50° and extend to 150°C.

Housings are completely sealed and welded to provide IP68/IP69K protection and excellent mechanical stability. Mounting is via the integrated thread and electrical connection via an industry standard M12 connector.
