Smart signal monitoring with the IO-Link analogue converter

Easy integration of analogue sensors into IO-Link systems

Analogue sensors provide important process values in industry, but often cannot be directly integrated into digital infrastructures. The DP1204 analogue signal monitor from ifm offers an efficient solution for this: It enables the simple integration of up to two analogue sensors (4...20 mA / 0...10 V) into IO-Link systems – also ideal for retrofitting in existing systems.

Flexibly adjustable for your application

The DP1204 offers various operating modes: Switching points can be assigned individually and measured values can be added or subtracted. The calculated value can be monitored and output as a 4...20 mA signal.

Besides, the analogue input signals can be scaled linearly to physical units (e.g. 4...20 mA to 50...2000 mm). The processed data is available via IO-Link, one analogue and two digital outputs. In addition, an analogue signal can be mirrored via the output.

Applications

Typical applications include differential pressure monitoring (e.g. filter condition, pump efficiency), level monitoring in pressurised containers or width measurement of moving objects using two distance sensors.

Fast installation saves time and money

The DP1204 has been designed for installation close to the field – directly on the machine, without a control cabinet. Its compact design and IP67 protection rating minimise wiring complexity, saving space, time and installation costs.
