The ifm electronic pump diagnostic pressure sensor detects cavitation, trapped air and blockages, just what you have been waiting for!
Now leading sensor manufacturer ifm electronic has expanded their award-winning ProcessLine range with more splitter boxes well able to stand a good hosing down.
Two stable mates have joined the first unit introduced last year.
One is another AS-interface splitter, while yet another is a splitter box for conventionally-wired devices.
All share the stainless steel housing rated to IP69K (high temperature, high pressure spray) in a shape designed to minimise bug traps.
Complementing the original 4I/3O AS-i unit is an 8-way passive AS-i splitter for the connection of devices with integrated AS-interface, and an 8-way splitter for standard units on standard wiring.
The latter is available with a multi-core PVC cable in lengths designed to reach to the panel.
Now into its second decade, the Actuator-Sensor Interface (AS-i) has established itself in many areas of production.
One of the main advantages of AS-i is the reduction in wiring with the dramatic cost saving which that brings.
The number of wires is lessened, wiring faults virtually eliminated ifm electronic offers the widest range of AS-interface components, from stand-alone controllers, bus interfaces and power supplies through to all the field devices necessary for connection of inputs and outputs.
