Digital meets analog: Integrating modern IO-Link sensors in analog mode

  • Converts IO-Link process values into two analog signals 4...20 mA
  • Ideal for IO-Link sensors with multiple process values
  • Plug and Play: No parameterization required
  • Resistant to cleaning agents, ideal for use in hygienic areas
  • Simple mounting directly on the sensor or in the connecting cable

Functionality

IO-Link sensors often provide several measured values at the same time, e.g. conductivity sensors with integrated temperature measurement. To enable these sensors to be connected to existing control systems, this converter converts both digital measured values into two analog signals (4...20 mA). Thus the hardware of the plant is already prepared for a later digitalization. The converter can be used directly without parameterization. If required, it can also be parameterized via IO-Link, e.g. for scaling analog values.

Hygienic
Special housing materials and the high degree of protection IP 67 / IP 69K allow, for example, use in the food industry even with high-pressure cleaning and aggressive cleaning agents.

Mode of operation:
1 x IO-Link becomes 2 x analog output
With this compact converter, modern IO-Link sensors that provide more than just one process value can be connected to existing controllers that only have analog inputs.

Several measured values via IO-Link
A small exemplary excerpt of ifm sensors that output more than just one process value via IO-Link is shown opposite.

This converter only works in conjunction with correspondingly specified ifm sensors
