Where it sits in the control system
The IFS206 is the device-level element in an IFM inductive 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 standard panel or DIN-rail 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 IFS206
IFM IFS206 — 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 IFS206; verify the catalog number against your bill of materials before requesting a quotation.
- Certifications: CE, cULus — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Enclosure rating: IP67 (IEC 60529) — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Operating temperature: -25...+70 °C — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Frequency: 700 — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about IFS206
Q.Which value is published under enclosure rating for catalog number IFS206?
For IFS206, enclosure rating is given as IP67 (IEC 60529). Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Before ordering IFS206, which degree of protection entry should be checked?
The degree of protection entry quoted above is II. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Where can I find the supply voltage data for IFS206?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM IFS206 as 10...30 V DC. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of IFS206 before ordering?
Match the catalog number IFS206 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.What should I include in an enquiry for IFS206?
Send the full catalog number IFS206, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for IFM IFS206.
