Level Sensor with IO-Link

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

The new LMC sensor family from ifm electronic not only provides extremely high deposit suppression but also a flexible installation independent of the orientation. Moreover, the unit that is sheathed by robust stainless steel housing is shock and vibration resistant. Default setting at the factory allows for simple "plug & play". Furthermore, switch point setting enables differentiation of media.

Level under control

The LMC family reliably monitors levels, e.g. in machine tools or wastewater management, or protects pumps from running dry. Rear installation permits variable installation depths and application-specific installation.

Versatile sensor for all media

The LMC sensor can be set to almost any liquid or viscous medium as well as to bulk materials. Permanent medium temperatures up to 100 °C or a heavy build-up are no problem. It can distinguish between two media because it has two independent switching outputs. The parameters can be easily set via IO-Link and USB interface. The new unit also provides reliable and maintenance-free level detection where other devices reach their limits. With IO-Link, the user also is well prepared for Industry 4.0.
