ICF Series Inductive Proximity Sensors

Carlo Gavazzi includes an IO-Link in every ICF series inductive sensor for easy ordering, application flexibility, and reduced inventory. An IO-Link master or configurator (such as Carlo Gavazzi's SCTL55 handheld IO-Link smart configurator) is required to change sensor settings during initial installation. However, the sensors can be used as standard transistor output sensors without an IO-Link operating environment. Therefore, the ICF full-metal inductive sensors meet customer's needs wherever they are on their IIoT journey and equips them for future automation advances.

Carlo Gavazzi introduces intelligent monitoring capabilities through IO-Link in this family of ICF series sensors. Cyclic process data can monitor the quality of detection which allows predictive maintenance to be scheduled before downtime occurs. Additionally, alarms can be customized to signal if a target position is trending closer or further away from the sensing face or high/low internal sensor temperature.
