Inductive sensors
In all automated processes sensors are absolutely necessary to provide the PLC with
information. They supply the necessary signals on positions, limits or serve as pulse
pick-ups for counting tasks or for monitoring rotational speed. Inductive and
capacitive sensors are nowadays indispensable for industrial usage. As compared to
mechanical switches they offer ideal conditions: non-contact operation free from
any wear and tear, high switching frequencies and accuracy. In addition, they are
insensitive to vibration, dust and moisture. Inductive sensors detect all metals
without contact.
Operating principle of inductive sensors
Typical application:
Inductive sensors take advantage of the physical effect of the change in the quality Positioning sensing in

material enters this field, eddy currents will be formed in accordance with the law
of inductance which draw energy from the oscillator. This reduces the oscillation
amplitude. The change is converted into a switching signal. The operating principle
permits detection of all metals irrespective of whether they are moving or not.
Application sensors
Every application has its own requirements as regards the sensors to be used.
Temperature shocks, mechanical influences or aggressive cleaning agents are just a
few of the possible environmental influences to which sensors are subjected. ifm
electronic therefore offers inductive sensors which have been developed for special
applications. This includes for example the use of selected housing materials such
as stainless steel, LCP, PEEK, PBT or Duroplast. An innovative, consistent sealing High frequency

Capacitive sensors
Capacitive sensors
Capacitive sensors are used for the non-contact detection of any objects. In contrast
to inductive sensors, which only detect metallic objects, capacitive sensors can also
detect non-metallic materials. Typical applications are in the wood, paper, glass,
plastic, food and chemical industries. In a packaging system, capacitive sensors
monitor that the contents of a cardboard box is complete, for example, or check
the presence of non-metallic caps. Another application is to monitor the conveying
of sheets of glass on a roller conveyor.
Operating principle
The capacitance between the active electrode of the sensor and the electrical earth
potential is evaluated. An approaching object influences the electrical alternating
field between these two “capacitor plates” and, consequently, the capacitance. This
applies to metallic and non-metallic objects. By means of the potentiometer or the
pushbutton the user can set the sensitivity.
Increased noise immunity Not only metal:
Capacitive sensors
When detecting objects, very small changes in capacitance must be evaluated and detect almost all

parasitic basic capacitances, as these can amount to a multiple of the change in
capacitance to be measured. Moreover, the sensors must be insensitive to electro-
magnetic interference which typically occurs in the application area.
ifm electronic has developed future-oriented solutions to meet the high sensor
requirements. A patented circuit concept efficiently prevents the mentioned
problems and ensures reliable functioning for all relevant noise parameters.

Magnetic sensors
Magnetic sensors
Magnetic sensors are used for the detection of positions without contact or wear
and tear in control technology. They are used where inductive sensors reach their
limits. The advantage: Compared to inductive sensors magnetic sensors have a
considerably higher sensing range and smaller housings.
Since magnetic fields penetrate all non-magnetisable materials, the sensors can
detect magnets through walls made of non-ferrous metal, stainless steel,
aluminium, plastic or wood.
In gate systems, for example, the magnet sensor only detects the magnet which is
to be detected. Any possible influences by aluminium in the environment do not

important.
Operating principle
Magnetic sensors from ifm electronic use state-of-the-art GMR (Giant Magneto
Resistive Effect) technology. The measuring cell consists of resistors with several
extremely fine, ferromagnetic and non-magnetic layers. Whereas in a conventional
Wheatstone bridge circuit two screened and two unscreened GMR resistors are
combined, a large signal proportional to the magnetic field is produced if a mag-
netic field is present. As from a defined threshold value an output signal is switched
via a comparator.
Installation
Magnetic sensors can be mounted flush with all materials (even metals) without
reduction in the sensing range. Depending on the orientation of the magnetic field
the sensor can be damped from the front or from the side.

Cylinder sensors
Cylinder sensors
Cylinder sensors are used for position detection of pistons in pneumatic cylinders.
They are directly mounted onto the cylinder. The ring magnet attached to the
piston is sensed through the housing wall of non-magnetisable material
(e.g. aluminium, brass or stainless steel). ifm electronic offers a standard solution for
different cylinder types and manufacturers.
Operating principle
ifm electronic‘s cylinder sensors use state-of-the-art GMR and AMR technology: A
GMR element is made up of extremely thin magnetic layers, each separated by a
nonmagnetic layer. Without external field they align in an antiparallel manner which

results in a defined electrical resistance. If these layers are exposed to a magnetic Cylinder sensors
field, the magnetic layers align in a parallel manner. This results in a large change in monitor the position
resistance that is converted into a switching signal by the internal electronics. of the piston in a
pneumatic cylinder.
An AMR element consists of thin ferromagnetic stripes. Electrical resistance is
highest without external magnetic fields. The effect of a magnetic field reduces
resistance. This change is converted into a switching signal by the internal
electronics. Advantage: This method enables exact measurement of even very small
changes of the magnetic field where space is extremely limited. This results in a
smaller hysteresis and a short travel distance. So, the sensors can be used wherever
exact positioning is required (e.g. short-stroke cylinder).
Response sensitivity
The response sensitivity applies equally to either magnetic polarity and without
external field influence. The magnetic flux density in most pneumatic cylinders is
between 5 and 25 millitesla (mT). ifm electronic’s cylinder sensors are factory set so
that they detect these magnetic fields safely.
Travel distance
The travel distance describes the section which is covered by the magnet in the
sensing zone. It depends on the strength of the magnet. The short response times
of the sensors allow very high travel speeds.

Valve sensors
Valve sensors
In industrial processes where liquids, air or gases are used valves are needed for
dosing and control. There is a wide variety of valve types; butterfly or ball valves
being the most common quarter-turn types.
These valves are seldom operated manually. Pneumatic valve actuators are normally
used for mechanical positioning. The valve position must be monitored electronical-
ly. On the one hand to provide a feedback to the controller when a certain position
(e.g. “open” or “closed”) is reached. On the other hand it is necessary to monitor
the valves centrally.
Mechanical switches are still often used for position feedback on the actuator shaft.
For other solutions several inductive sensors are used together with a switch target
for position detection. Disadvantage: Mounting is mechanically complex. Where
there are temperature fluctuations condensing humidity leads to corrosion and thus
malfunction.
Operating principle
An innovative design eliminates the disadvantages of these conventional solutions.
In 1992 ifm electronic developed a standard which is now used by many leading
actuator manufacturers. A round switch target, known as a “puck”, with two metal
screws offset by 90° is mounted on the actuator shaft. The screws are located at a
different height. A compact dual inductive sensor (type IND) with two integral sen-
sors detects the upper or lower metal screw depending on the valve position and
thus the two switch positions.
Advantages
Due to the simple construction the system operates safely with no wear at all. It is Feedback: Monitoring

certain conditions the unit can even be self-cleaning. Compared to conventional manual valves must

solutions the sensor weight is low. The sensors are also resistant to mechanical
stress such as vibration and shock.

Photoelectric sensors
Automation technology can no longer be imagined without photoelectric sensors as
“artificial eyes”. They are used where safe and non-contact detection of the exact
position of objects is required. The material of the objects to be detected is of no
importance. Compared to inductive sensors photoelectric sensors have a much
higher sensing zone.
Through-beam sensors
A through-beam sensor is distinguished by a long range. The system consists of two
separate components: a transmitter and a receiver. The light only travels one way

Photoelectric sensors
Laser sensors
Laser sensors are used where detection of small objects or precise positioning is
required. They are available as through-beam sensors, retro-reflective sensors or
diffuse reflection sensors.
Laser light consists of light waves of identical length which have a defined phase
relation (coherence). This results in an important feature of laser systems, that is the
almost parallel light beam. Result: Due to the small angle of divergence long ranges
of up to 60 metres can be achieved. The laser spot which is also clearly visible at
daylight simplifies the alignment of the system. Apart from the advantages some
points have to be taken into account for the selection of the suitable optical system:
Compared to standard sensors the laser sensors have a reduced temperature range Coherent: Laser
sensors emit light of
(-10...60 °C). Life is limited to approx. 50,000 hours. Basically laser systems are a defined wave length
more expensive than normal red light sensors. In view of the small light spot and and the same phase
the often high ranges the system is more sensitive to vibrations than standard position.

Optical fork and angle sensors
The optical fork and angle sensors are made from distortion-resistant diecast zinc
and feature a high switching frequency. Applications are in particular part monitor-
ing in feeding technology and handling systems. Further application examples are
belt edge and double feed monitoring.
Sensitivity setting using the potentiometer and setting of light-on / dark-on mode
using the rotary switch are simple and time-saving. No complex adjustment is
required because transmitter and receiver are already aligned towards each other.
Due to the fine and precise red light beam which is constant across the entire fork
width, out-of-balance monitoring of shafts can also be carried out.

Encoders
Robust designs.
Encoders
In many manufacturing and production processes encoders are indispensable as
reliable transducers to ensure precise positioning. They convert rotary movement
into digital signals. Encoders use the wear-free photoelectric detection. A pulse disc
firmly attached to the shaft ensures this detection.
Incremental encoders
Incremental encoders generate a precisely defined number of pulses per revolution.
They are a measure of the angular or linear distance moved.
The coded disc is divided into separate segments which are alternately transparent
or opaque. An LED emits a parallel-orientated light beam which illuminates all seg-
ments of the coded disc. Photo elements receive the modulated light and convert it
into two sinusoidal signals. Digitalisation electronics amplify the signals and shape
them into square-wave pulse trains which are generated via the line driver in the
output. The phase difference between signals A and B, which are phase-shifted by
90 degrees, allows evaluation of the direction of rotation. Linear measurement

is converted into
Absolute encoders provide an absolute numerical value for each angular position. digital signals.
This code value is available immediately after power is applied. This “absolute”
value makes a reference procedure like the one required for the incremental
encoder unnecessary. Absolute encoders are used wherever angular positions have
to be allocated to a certain value and where the detection of the present position is
absolutely necessary in the case of a power failure.
Singleturn and multiturn
Singleturn encoders divide a mechanical revolution (0 to 360 degrees) into a certain

Evaluation systems
Although PLC applications in industrial automation are becoming more and more
versatile there are still numerous processes in practice which require decentralised
monitoring.
For this ifm electronic offers a number of pulse evaluation systems in the product
group “ecomat 200”. The application area ranges from simple standstill monitoring
or blockage protection of a conveyor belt, maximum speed monitoring in wind
power stations, slip monitoring of couplings through to direction monitoring, e.g.
twin pumps with non-return valves.
Different units for rail mounting and compact designs in M18 and M30 metal
housings are available. They include microprocessor-controlled units for pane
mounting to display analogue signals, RPM, speeds, processing times, quantities
and electronic preset counters for the detection of quantities or linear
measurement.
All units are distinguished by a high reliability and easy handling. Independent of Pulse evaluation

Level sensors
Level sensors
In industrial applications where fluids or bulk material are used, storage tanks or
silos are used for processing or storing of media. Sensors are used to detect the
levels. Even critical process conditions such as emptying a hydraulic tank or the
unintentional overspill of a tank are monitored by level sensors.
Advantages of electronic sensors
Deposits and wear and tear often lead to failures in particular if mechanical
switches are in contact with the medium. The electronic ifm sensors however can
do without any mechanical components. This makes the sensors especially robust
and reliable.
Measurement in
Another advantage of electronic sensors is the local indication of the level or the the medium:
easy setting of the switching threshold simply by pressing a button. Probe sensors will be
directly immersed in
Measurement technique the medium to be
monitored.
For continuous level measurement the level is detected continuously, converted
into an electrical signal and indicated. Depending on the type the units have freely
programmable switching outputs or an analogue output for further processing.
Continuous level sensors from ifm electronic use three different physical measuring
principles:
For capacitive measurement the probe and the tank form an electrical capacitor. For special applica-
tions: Capacitive
The capacity changes with the level and is converted into a level measurement by a probe sensor for
microprocessor. monitoring oils and
coolants.
For hydrostatic level measurement a measuring cell detects the hydrostatic pressure
of the material. Here the pressure change is a measure for the level.
The efector gwr level sensor operates on the principle of guided wave radar.
Electromagnetic pulses are transmitted by the sensor head and guided along the
probe. If the microwave pulse hits the medium to be detected, it is reflected and
the time of flight is evaluated by the sensor.

Flow sensors
Flow sensors
In almost all fields of process and plant engineering liquids or gases are used for
coolant and lubricant supply of machines and units, ventilation of installations and
buildings and the processing of products. In case of no flow of these media
considerable damage and downtime may result. Thus it is very important to monitor
these media. In modern installations electronic flow monitors are used for this
purpose. They work without wear and tear and without mechanical components.
This guarantees reliable monitoring even in case of difficult media over a long
period.
Operating principle
Electronic flow sensors from ifm electronic operate with different measurement
techniques. They meet all requirements from a simple monitoring function to the
exact detection of flow quantities.
Harmonised operating menus ensure that operators who use different flow sensors
can quickly and precisely carry out settings on the sensors. Some flow sensors
feature an integrated temperature monitor which makes an additional measuring Monitoring very small
point unnecessary. This enables to control processes in the optimum operating flow rates: Flow moni-

Pressure sensors
Pressure sensors
ifm offers a wide range of electronic pressure and vacuum sensors to meet the
requirements of various industrial applications. The ceramic-capacitive measuring
cell, tried and tested a million times, is complemented by a stainless steel measuring
cell with thick-film wire strain gauges (series PK, PV, PT) and a piezoresistive
measuring technique (for pneumatic applications).
All units have robust housings and do not require moving parts such as pistons or
springs. The result: the sensors are extremely shock and vibration resistant and
operate without any wear or maintenance.
The tried and tested ceramic-capacitive measuring principle is corrosion-resistant

that occur for example with fast closing valves.
Units with wire strain gauge in thick-film technology on a stainless steel measuring
cell are distinguished by their very compact and robust design. They can be used
in almost all industrial areas. The welded stainless steel measuring cell without
any seals ensures a high degree of safety, in particular for applications with gas
pressures of up to 400 bar as well as in air-conditioning and refrigerating technol-
ogy where aggressive coolants (freons) are used.

Temperature sensors
Integrated or separate
control monitors selectable.
Modular concept –
tailor-made for every application.
Temperature sensors
The temperature sensors of ifm electronic are based on a PT100 or PT1000 resistor.
The measured temperature value corresponds to a change in resistance and is con-
verted into an electrical analogue signal. A microprocessor controls the evaluation
of the electrical signal. The current system temperature is indicated by LEDs directly
on the control monitor.
The microprocessor and the display make process adjustment much easier. The user
can set the values for the switch points, hysteresis and measuring range by means
of programming buttons even without the system temperature being applied. This
enables installation and setup of the system within a few minutes. The values are
safely stored in an EEPROM independent of the supply voltage. Local display of the
current temperature.
Film technology is used for the electronic circuitry. A flexible, temperature-resistant
and extremely resistant polyimide film is used as carrier of the SMD components.
Together with a special potting method an extreme shock and vibration resistance is
achieved.
From sensor to system
A complete temperature measurement system usually consists of several
components. The temperature in a medium is detected by a sensor and is converted
into an electrical measured signal. The mechanical design and the dimensions of
the sensors must vary to enable use for different media and measuring points.
Depending on the application ifm electronic offers a selection of robust probe sen-
sors or types with connection cables. To indicate and process the measured value
the sensor is connected to a separate control monitor. It indicates the measured
value on its integrated display. To complete the modular systems ifm electronic
offers compact temperature sensors with integrated control monitors. If a local tem-

have standard output signals or an integrated AS-i interface. In hygienic applications
the self-monitoring, calibration-free temperature transmitter TAD is an excellent
choice.

Diagnostic systems
Diagnostic systems
efector octavis is a vibration monitor which not only detects vibration data, but also
carries out signal analysis and machine diagnosis directly on the machine. The
machine condition is determined and is forwarded to the PLC or to SCADA
software. It fulfils the main requirements for modern machine monitoring: compati-
bility, modularity and transferable configuration.
Compatible and modular
The compatibility with data structures such as the OPC interface makes it possible
to integrate condition data into a higher-level system. With the requirement for
modularity the user can define the extent of condition monitoring to be implemen-

Trend memory
All units of the octavis family type VE / VSE feature an internal trend memory which
ensures detailed analysis and optimisation of the application even without external
data recording. The storage intervals are freely selectable. This means that the
storage length of the non volatile ring buffer is adjusted to the requirements.

Power supplies
Power supplies
Transformer power supplies provide a low voltage, normally 24 V DC. A transformer
according to DIN 0551 ensures a safe electrical separation from mains voltage and
low voltage. The output voltage can be regulated (± 5 %) or smoothed by means of
capacitors. The different designs and output powers allow adaptation to diverse
operating conditions.
Switched-mode power supplies
Primary switched-mode power supplies are a compact and economical solution to
supply sensors and actuators. As opposed to conventional transformer power
supplies with regulated output voltage primary switched-mode power supplies need
no heavy transformers so that there are fewer iron and copper losses. They are
therefore distinguished by a very high degree of efficiency of up to 92 %. Due to
the operating principle by means of high frequency transformers switched-mode
power supplies are much smaller and lighter than transformer power supplies with
identical power. Nevertheless they guarantee an electrical separation. Furthermore, Suitable for the
they offer a wide input voltage range as standard, e.g. 340 to 576 V AC. This application: ifm

ifm switched-mode power supplies have a regulated output voltage of typ. 24 V DC power classes.
with a tolerance of ± 2 %. Apart from few exceptions the output voltage can be set
between 24 V and 28 V to compensate for example for a voltage drop on long
cables. Between no load and full load they ensure a stable supply voltage and thus
operational reliability in case of supply voltage fluctuations.
Power reserves
Mains fluctuations up to ± 15 % and mains interference are compensated for. Even
mains voltage dips of a few milliseconds are compensated for, the output voltage is
completely maintained. An active inrush
current limitation reduces the inrush current via a fixed resistor which is bridged
after start up.
The outputs are protected against short circuits and overload.

With a wide variety of different sensor designs ifm electronic offers a wide range of
high quality connectors. The choice of types covers common M8, M12, M18 types
through to valve plugs. The “ecolink” connectors (order no. EVxxxx) offer addi-
tional quality features.
ecolink - a new dimension in connection technology
Due to the special installation of a mechanical end stop the O-ring is always
correctly compressed and so permanently maintains its sealing function. The con-
nector remains securely positioned on the unit even in case of extreme vibration
and impacts. Novel design and a transparent black housing ensure that even in
bright lighting conditions the LEDs are more clearly visible than with the clear
transparent versions.
