IO-Link Inductive Proximity Sensors ideal for limited space scenarios

CARLO GAVAZZI have announced the launch of their new IBS, ICS and ICB Series Inductive Proximity Sensors with integrated IO-Link communications.
The IBS04 and ICS05 and 08 Series represent the ideal solution for industrial automation applications where space is limited, but long switching distance is needed. They are available in robust Ø4mm, M5 or M8 stainless steel housings, with an M8 plug or two meter PVC cable.
The new generation of the ICB 12, 18 and 30 Series are a comprehensive family of high performance inductive proximity sensors for contactless and wear-free detection of metallic objects. They are available in durable nickel-plated brass housings, offered in three diameters: M12, M18 and M30, with an extended sensing distance range between 4 and 22 mm. They are also available with an M12 plug or two meter PVC cable.
Once connected to an IO-Link master, these sensors can be easily and completely configured; enabling additional advanced functionalities such as the detection counter (RPM) or speed monitoring.  Each sensor then becomes fully programmable and provides the means for hundreds of configurations in one single device.
