IFM · inductive sensor
IGS204 is an IFM inductive sensor with Supply voltage 10...30 V DC; Enclosure rating IP67 (IEC 60529); Response time <= 1500 Hz switching frequency. It is used in conveyor object detection, machine guarding, position feedback where the installed unit is matched to the original catalog number and a compact, documented part is required.

Where it sits in the control system
The IGS204 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 IGS204
IFM IGS204 — 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 IGS204; always cross-check the catalog number and hardware revision on the nameplate before placing an order.
- Supply voltage: 10...30 V DC — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Response time: <= 1500 Hz switching frequency — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Operating temperature: -25...+70 °C — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Frequency: 400 — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
For a discontinued unit, match function and electrical ratings rather than the label alone.
Common questions about IGS204
Q.For IGS204, what does the specification table state about degree of protection?
The specification table lists degree of protection = II for IFM IGS204. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Which value is published under supply voltage for catalog number IGS204?
For IGS204, supply voltage is given as 10...30 V DC. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.Before ordering IGS204, 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.Can the IGS204 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number IGS204 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.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for IGS204?
Send the full catalog number IGS204, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for IFM IGS204.
