The new range of Fieldbus modules with IO-Link master functionality from ifm electronic, are designed to meet the demands for ever-increasing levels of intelligent sensing and control to facilitate the drive toward increasingly sophisticated automation and IT.

The rapid development and changes occurring in control systems, connectivity and sensor technology are important factors in helping the manufacturing industry realise the opportunities and benefits of Industry 4.0.

Smart valve sensor from ifm electronic provides continuous feedback and essential diagnostics to help plant operators ensure optimum process performance.

IO-Link gives users more and better quality data, so it’s useful to see what is going on when the devices either do not have a display of their own or are inaccessible.

Described by some as a game-changer, the novel O3D300 from ifm electronic is a sensor capable of measuring three dimensions at once.

When sensing metal parts on moving machinery the choice of sensor is usually limited to: ‘which inductive proximity switch should I choose?”  Understandably so, since inductive proximity switches have become well established over decades and perform a sterling job.

ifm electronic has introduced the DTE100 RFID evaluation unit with integrated Profibus-DP interface. Also featuring a web server, the new platform can be used in production environments to track tooling, for quality assurance procedures, in assembly/handling operations and in conveying for part tracking. The DTE100 is a compact device in a robust housing making it suitable for installation directly on a machine.
