ifm pressure sensors have proven to be a reliable solution in the food and beverage industry for many years. Following the successful updates to the transmitters and display versions, ifm’s new Pressure Gauge has now been revised and boasts new and improved features. The multicolour LED display enables clear and unambiguous visualisation of pressure ranges, switching points, minimum and maximum values and trend curves. Mechanical pointers, which are prone to errors, are replaced by durable and highly visible LEDs. This technological advance ensures improved clarity and reliability.
Robust ceramic measuring cell for maximum reliability
The pressure sensor itself has an extremely robust ceramic measuring cell which can easily withstand even extreme pressure peaks and overloads. Due to the measuring cell’s high resistance to abrasive media, it offers a durable and reliable solution for demanding applications. Unlike conventional sensors with a metallic diaphragm, the ceramic measuring cell does not require oil as a pressure transfer medium. This completely eliminates the risk of medium contamination if the sensor is damaged. This property makes it particularly suitable for use in the food and beverage industry with its strict hygiene requirements.
IO-Link
In addition to typical functions such as parameter setting and process value transmission, the Pressure Gauge offers further information and options via IO-Link:
- Display optimisation (brightness, colour, layout)
- Minimum and maximum memory, counter
- Device temperature.
Key features
- Optimum interpretation of measured values, for example, through operating ranges that can be customised in colour as well as threshold and trend displays
- Pressure peak and overload-resistant ceramic measuring cell
- Fast compensation of dynamic temperature changes
- Permanent 150°C medium temperature
- Very high resolution with 32-bit process value transmission via IO-Link
