An introduction to the work of ifm controllers
Programmable ifm controllers operate using a "sequential scan, continuous loop" approach.
1. Output rewriting stage: When the instruction is fulfilled, the on-off status of the output status register is sent to the input in the output rewriting stage.

Considerations for the selection of industrial sensors
1. According to the measurement object and measurement environment
In order to carry out a specific measurement operation, it is necessary to consider the principle of the sensor first, which requires an analysis of many factors. Since, even for the measurement of the same physical quantity, there are sensors with multiple principles to choose from.

Essentials for the selection of ifm controllers
1. The ifm controller has a control function
Another important reference feature for the purchase of ifm controllers is the ability to control movements and other applications. Fulfillment of these functional requirements requires I/O, as well as a strong processor and the ability to prioritize missions.
Programmable Drum Switches (PDS...

Structure and application of resistive sensors - ifm
Structure of a resistive sensor
The structure of a resistive sensor consists of two basic parts: a resistive element and a brush (movable contact). The motion of the brushes in relation to the resistive elements can be linear, rotational and spiral, thus converting the linear or angular displacement into the necessary ...

Attention to the selection of industrial sensors – ifm
1. According to the measurement object and measurement environment
In order to carry out a detailed measurement operation, it is necessary to consider the principle of the sensor first, which needs to analyze many factors before confirmation. Because, even if the same physical quantity is measured, there are sensors with multiple principles to choose from.

Fiber optic sensor selection points – ifm
1. Determine the type according to the measurement object and environment
It is necessary to carefully analyze the measurement operation and consider which principle of sensor to use for measurement, because even if the same physical quantity is measured, it can be achieved by different principles. Secondly, we have to consider the range, volume (whether the space is satisfied), amperemia ...

The new radar level sensor LW2720 with IO-Link interface
In the food and beverage industry, level measurement of a wide range of tanks is critical, but there are many challenges.
For example, steam, condensate, temperature changes, or various gases (maintenance gases such as nitrogen) above the level surface in some tanks can affect the accuracy of the measurement.

Precautions for the use of sensors and installation requirements - ifm
Precautions for using sensors:
1) The sensor should not be installed in the following places: direct sunlight, high temperature, frost, and corrosive gas.
2) Do not use the same wiring pipe or wiring groove as the power line and power line to connect the wire.

Selection and testing of ifm proximity switches
1. Proximity switch selection
Different types of proximity switches should be selected for different raw material detectors and different detection intervals to have a high-performance price ratio in the system, for which the following principles should be followed in the selection:
1. When the detector body is metal material, the high-frequency oscillation type should be selected.

Precautions for sensor installation – ifm
Temperature sensor
1. The sensor should be firmly grounded, and the wire side of the sensor should not be short-circuited.
2. The thermistor of the moving magnet water thermometer sensor will increase with the temperature and the resistance value will decrease.
Fuel level sensor

Sensors, temperature sensors, RTDs and thermocouples – ifm
RTDs and thermocouples are the most commonly used temperature sensing elements for temperature sensors. The operating principle of thermocouple temperature sensor is that the two ends of the contact surface of two kinds of incompatible metals produce a weak and weak voltage when the temperature is inconsistent, and the temperature is measured by expanding the electric, which is not necessary to measure the high temperature. RTD Temperature Sensors ...

Everyday attention to ifm pressure transmitters
1. Measurement scale: The normal use of the pressure transmitter should not exceed its measurement scale and working condition scale, and the short-term overload is allowed to be 120%.
2. Working environment: The working environment of Germany IFM pressure transmitter should be free of strong corrosion ...

Structural classification of UV sensors
1. Spherical cathode structure:
In order to fully avoid the tip effect and make the photoelectron emission more stable and uniform, it is necessary to fix the operating area on the cathode, because the ultraviolet tube relies on photoelectron emission and gas multiplication to complete the conversion of the optical signal into an electrical signal and amplify it.

Sensor selection method – ifm
Modern sensors are very different in principle and structure, how to reasonably select sensors according to the detailed measurement intention, measurement objectives and measurement environment, is the first problem to deal with when carrying out a certain quantity measurement.
When the sensor is confirmed, the corresponding measurement method ...

Troubleshooting of high-frequency pressure sensors during operation
1. When the pressure goes up, the output of the transmitter can't go up.
In this case, you should first check whether the pressure connection is leaking or blocked. If you admit that it is not, check the wiring method and check the power supply, if the power supply is normal, then briefly pressurize to see if the output changes, or observe the zero position of the sensor ...

Force sensor applications on robots
1. Constant force
Torque sensors were first used for polishing, polishing, and other applications. Because these applications are difficult to automate, the robot needs some feeds to confirm that its drive is sufficient.
By introducing a reaction circuit into your program, you can easily implement ...

Considerations for the selection of load cells – ifm
1. Sensor scale:
(1) In normal use (static test or quasi-static test, the frequency of use is not high), the scale of the sensor should be selected to consider the force value of the measurement, but also to consider the weight of the auxiliary tool (test fixture) and so on.

Signal discrimination method generated by vibration sensors – ifm
1. Distinguish according to the gap voltage
The oscillation sensor outputs a voltage signal that contains both DC and AC. The amount of DC corresponds to the uniform distance between the sensor and the probe, also known as the void voltage. The traffic corresponds to the oscillating signal. If the void voltage is normal, the alternating current is usually normal.
