IMI Precision Engineering enhanced the magnetically operated solid state M/50 actuator switch with IO-Link capability. The inclusion of IO-Link technology develops the functionality of the switch enabling the monitoring of the current temperature, maximal temperature, counter and operating mode variables, making it an ideal solution for the connectivity requirements of industrial automation.
The IMI Norgren M/50/IOP also makes accurate installation as simple as possible, with an orange LED light that allows for optimum installation relative to the cylinder magnet. The orange LED light remains on when the switch is located within the optimal position. If the switch is located within the marginal position towards the outer edges of the magnetic field, the light flashes to indicate that further attention is required during the installation process. An additional green LED light acts as a ‘power on’ indicator.
The switch maintains global certification standards, meeting all relevant CE and UL (American certification) guidelines and conforms to programmable controllers legislation under IEC 61131-9. The device is compatible with all IMI Norgren actuators, comes with a 5m cable or M8 connector and can operate within a temperature range of between -40°C and +80°C.
