Before selecting an alternative, confirm its dimensions, terminals and installation requirements in the manufacturer documentation.
Where it sits in the control system
The IG0012 is the device-level element in an IFM proximity sensor installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 10...30 V DC — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in conveyor object detection, machine guarding, position feedback, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides non-flush mountable support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for IFM IG0012
IFM IG0012 — Sensor or detector for object detection, distance measurement and status feedback on production lines. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number IG0012; verify the catalog number against your bill of materials before requesting a quotation.
- Certifications: CE, cULus — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Supply voltage: 10...30 V DC — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Response time: <= 1500 Hz switching frequency — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Dimensions (H x W x D): M18 x 1 / L = 80 — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.

Common questions about IG0012
Q.Where can I find the dimensions (H x W x D) data for IG0012?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM IG0012 as M18 x 1 / L = 80. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.For IG0012, what does the specification table state about mounting?
The specification table lists mounting = non-flush mountable for IFM IG0012. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Which value is published under enclosure rating for catalog number IG0012?
For IG0012, enclosure rating is given as IP67 (IEC 60529). Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of IG0012 before ordering?
Match the catalog number IG0012 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
Q.Can the IG0012 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number IG0012 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
