2 in 1: Sensors with IO-Link and digital switching signal

With these inductive sensors, the Y path, i.e. the provision of sensor information for both the analogue and digital worlds, begins in the sensor itself.

The sensor thus enables the best of both worlds - via only one connection cable: Fast switching operations can be transmitted to the controller via a switching signal, while changes in the distance between the sensor and the target, for example, can be continuously monitored and transmitted to the IT level via IO-Link.
This allows to identify maintenance requirements at an early stage and avoid expensive unplanned downtimes.
