Pressure Sensor with IO-Link 

Published on : Sunday 01-01-2023

The pressure sensor is suitable for use in plant and mechanical engineering in connection to automation systems.

JUMO dTRANS p35 is a Pressure Sensor with IO-Link for applications like:
• Process automation 
• Machines for the food and beverage, pharmaceutical industry 
• General mechanical and apparatus engineering.

The pressure sensor serves to measure relative and absolute pressure and monitor it in liquids and gases. The effect of the pressure on the pressure sensor generates a signal, which is amplified, digitalised, and processed. 

The pressure sensor is equipped with an IO-Link interface according to specification 1.1. IO-Link supports bidirectional communication and is used to exchange process data, parameters, diagnostic information, and status messages. The two green LEDs are permanently lit as soon as voltage is supplied to the device. Once an IO-Link connection is established, the LEDs flash. 

The switching behavior and the switching thresholds of the switching outputs (max. 2 pieces; p or n switching) can be individually configured - along with many other parameters. Any IO-Link master can be used for the configuration. 

The pressure sensor is therefore suitable for use in plant and mechanical engineering in connection to automation systems. A variety of pressure connections and measuring ranges are available to the user.

Customer benefits 
• IO-Link
