This radar sensor now has IO-Link communication
IO-Link is of particular importance as a communication protocol for the complex measuring tasks in factory automation. Fast, simple and cost-effective, Vegapuls 42 sensors meet the high demands of the industry and completes the IO-Link family of this company, which now offers a complete portfolio for level, switching and pressure. With its versatile hygienic adapters, Vegapuls 42 is particularly suitable for processes with strict hygiene standards. The radar sensor is equipped with all the necessary state-of-the-art functions. It enables communication with IO-Link, which means bidirectional data transmission with extensive diagnostics and parameterization. Vegapuls 42 is designed for a measuring level up to a distance of up to 15 m and can be used in temperatures up to 150°C. The sensor configuration is suitable for cyclical production processes, dosing processes and downstream processes, such as conveyance and filling systems. — VEGA Grieshaber KG, Schiltach, Germany
