IO-Link is not a bus system but a manufacturer-independent, and secure point-to-point connection for sensors and actuators. Nothing about our sensors has changed apart from the IO-Link interface. Thus, they can be inserted as usual.

Inductive proximity switches are playing an increasingly important role in automation technology. All-metal sensors made of stainless steel are generally the preferred solution here. That is why the new IO120128 perfectly complements the ipf electronic portfolio in this area.

Today’s oil and gas operators are moving decisively to capitalize on the innovations driven by the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). Benefiting from these networking opportunities means real-time remote monitoring of wellheads. This gives operators the power to continually ensure consistent pressure and flow, as well as transmit data throughout the network for ongoing process improvement. Wellhead control automation often includes compressor control, pumping unit control, gas lift control, injection control and more.

The safety light curtains (category 4) of the OY32 (finger and hand protection) and OY36 (body protection) series from ipf electronic can optionally be equipped with a muting function. Even safety light curtains already in use can be retrofitted.

The connection cables of our sensors are not only very flexible, but also extremely robust since we use materials such as PUR, silicone or Teflon. What makes for high cable endurance for rough industrial use can be a disadvantage for the installer when processing, as these sheath materials cannot always be easily removed with conventional tools.
