Confocal sensor systems now with PROFINET and EtherNet/IP

Confocal chromatic sensor systems from Micro-Epsilon are unique worldwide and highly precise. They are used to measure displacement, distance and position. The models in the confocalDT IFD241x series are high-performance confocal sensors with an integrated controller.

These are now available with the integrated PROFINET and EtherNet/IP fieldbus interfaces. This means that the sensors are now equipped with all common industrial Ethernet protocols.

The confocalDT IFD241x models combine high precision with a compact design. Another advantage is the simple integration of the systems, which can be parameterized via the intuitive web interface. Thanks to the integrated industrial Ethernet interface, the settings are automatically transferred to the PLC environment. Complex settings in the programming environment are therefore not necessary. The connection is established automatically with the IFD241x sensor systems.

Integration into a bus system via EtherCAT, PROFINET or EtherNet/IP can be carried out using standard protocols (TCP, UDP, FTP), making communication easier.
