Where it sits in the control system
The IG5559 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 IG5559
IFM IG5559 — 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 IG5559; always cross-check the catalog number and hardware revision on the nameplate before placing an order.
- Enclosure rating: IP67 (IEC 60529) — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Output type (PNP/NPN): PNP — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Supply voltage: 10...30 V DC — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Dimensions (H x W x D): M18 x 1 / L = 80 — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about IG5559
Q.Which value is published under operating temperature for catalog number IG5559?
For IG5559, operating temperature is given as -25...+70 °C. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Before ordering IG5559, which enclosure rating entry should be checked?
The enclosure rating entry quoted above is IP67 (IEC 60529). Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Where can I find the dimensions (H x W x D) data for IG5559?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM IG5559 as M18 x 1 / L = 80. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for IG5559?
Send the full catalog number IG5559, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for IFM IG5559.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of IG5559 before ordering?
Match the catalog number IG5559 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
