Product features and functions
3.3.1
Principle of operation
The CFP Cubic works according to the capacitive measurement principle. This means
that electrodes are integrated in the probe to span and measure a capacitive field. The
medium touching the probe influences the measured capacitance. Linear to the level,
this change in capacitance is then evaluated in the sensor and output as a corre-
sponding level.
The sensor can output this level as a continuous measured value (analog output)
and can also derive two or four freely positionable switching points from it (switching
outputs). IO-Link communication is also available for the switching output Q1,

Fields of application
The MCiM technology developed by SICK enables convenient and reliable level mea-
surement irrespective of the container material.
The CFP Cubic is suitable for both continuous level measurement and discontinuous
level measurement in nearly all liquids. Furthermore, temperature values can also be
processed continuously or as a limit value depending on the variant.
