The new generation of PG type manometers from ifm are equipped with IO-Link and modern display units. Illuminated LED markings provide a quick overview of the current measured value. In addition to the various settings options for the display unit, IO-Link offers advantages such as easy commissioning, quick sensor replacement and remote access options.
ifm has further developed its tried-and-tested generation of PG type pressure sensors with analogue displays, by digitalising the sensors and expanding visualisation options. The redesigned display unit provides a quick overview of the previously defined measuring ranges and limit values through a ring of coloured LEDs. Instead of manually applying markings to the display housing, the minimum, middle and maximum ranges can now be visualised using differently coloured LEDs. With IO-Link, the desired measuring ranges can be defined quickly and easily and adapted to each application. The bright LEDs enable the user to see from a distance whether the pointer is in the green area or already close to the limit.
Process values and additional information are transmitted continuously using IO-Link technology and because the data is transmitted in a purely digital form based on a 24 V signal, it is conversion- and loss-free. The new generation PG pressure sensors offer a measuring range from -1 to 400 bar. As with previous models in the PG product family, the sensors are equipped with a robust ceramic measuring cell. For maximum safety in critical applications, the measuring cell has a diagnostic function that displays the cell’s status.
The electronic manometers are used in the food industry and other industrial environments. To meet the prevailing requirements, ifm developed two device variants with differing approvals and technical properties. For example, the device variant for food applications is permanently temperature-resistant up to 150°C and will compensate for dynamic temperature jumps that can occur in cleaning cycles.
The sensors are supplied also with different connection variants and they can be easily and safely mounted in containers or pipes using an Aseptoflex Vario connection. The first devices of the new PG generation were launched at the Hannover Trade Fair in Germany in April 2025.
