FXPL002 Fill-level Sensor with IO-Link
Fill-level sensor
Applications: Sensors & I/O
Description
LevelTech fill-level sensors work in accordance with the innovative frequency sweep principle. With the help of this functional principle, the sensors detect any desired medium on the basis of the measured resonant frequency. With their two adjustable switching outputs, the sensors are capable of differentiating between foam and liquid or two different media. Sensor parameters, as well as filter and output functions, can be individually configured via IO-Link. The stainless steel housing is FDA compliant and can be installed in the tightest of spaces thanks to its compact design. This product has been discontinued, but is still available as a spare part.
