Quick overview: Electronic manometer with LED display
ifm has further developed its proven generation of PG-type pressure sensors with analog displays. The main focus was on digitizing the sensor and expanding visualization options. The newly designed display unit now offers a quick overview of the predefined measuring ranges and limit values thanks to a ring of colored LEDs. Instead of manually marking the display housing, the mean, minimum, and maximum ranges can now be visualized using a variety of different colored LEDs. Thanks to IO-Link, the desired measuring ranges can be quickly and easily defined and adapted to the respective application. The luminosity of the LEDs allows the user to see from a distance whether the pointer is in the green range or already close to the limit value range.
IO-Link technology enables continuous transmission of process values and additional information. Since transmission is based on a 24 V signal, it is purely digital and therefore conversion-free and loss-free. The measuring range of the PG pressure sensors extends from -1 to 400 bar. Like the previous models in the PG product family, the sensor is equipped with a robust ceramic measuring cell. For maximum safety in critical applications, the measuring cell has a diagnostic function that outputs the status of the measuring cell.
The electronic pressure gauge is used in both the food industry and industrial environments. In order to meet the prevailing requirements, two device variants have been developed, which differ in their approvals and technical characteristics. For example, the device variant for food applications is permanently temperature-resistant up to 150 °C and compensates for dynamic temperature jumps, such as those that can occur during cleaning cycles.
The sensors are available with various connection options. For example, an Aseptoflex Vario connection allows the sensors to be easily and securely mounted in containers or pipes. The first devices of the new PG generation will be available in April 2025 at the Hannover Messe trade fair.
