Use and Application
The PMIxxx-F90-...-IO-... inductive position measurement system with IO-Link is optimized for
highly accurate, continuous position detection. Based on the highly precise evaluation of
several coil systems, the device combines a proven inductive sensor with innovative
microcontroller technology.
The compact and robust design of the F90 enables position detection tasks to be carried out in
a noncontact and wear-free process to measuring lengths of 40 mm, 80 mm, and 120 mm.
With its integrated temperature compensation feature, the PMIxxx-F90-...-IO-... is also ideal for
use in harsh environments and for critical positioning tasks.
As standard, the PMIxxx-F90-...-IO-... has three binary switching signal channels in the
process data transfer that are parameterizable via IO-Link. The sensor is not only available as a
pure measuring sensor with distance-proportional current or voltage output signal, but also as
a measuring sensor with switching outputs or as a combination of these functions.
Due to the inductive functional principle, ferrites or magnets are not necessary as a
counterpart. The detection of the position takes place through the detection of a damping
element mounted on a monitoring object. For precise detection, the damping element must
keep to specified measurements (see Section "Damping Element"). A typical area of
application for the PMIxxx-F90-...-IO-... is monitoring spindles in clamping systems.
The PMIxxx-F90-...-IO-.. is designed for operation with one damping element, or with two
damping elements for product variants with measuring lengths of 80 mm and 120 mm. While
operation with one damping element is designed for absolute position measurement, operation
with two damping elements is designed for relative distance measuring between the two
damping elements. The detection of a damping element is set by the factory. You can set
operation with two damping elements via the IO-Link parameterization.
