IFM · inductive sensor
IGS205 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 IGS205 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 IGS205
IFM IGS205 — 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 IGS205; always cross-check the catalog number and hardware revision on the nameplate before placing an order.
- Supply voltage: 10...30 V DC — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Degree of protection: II — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Operating temperature: -25...+70 °C — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Enclosure rating: IP67 (IEC 60529) — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.

Common questions about IGS205
Q.For IGS205, what does the specification table state about certifications?
The specification table lists certifications = CE, cULus for IFM IGS205. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.Which value is published under operating temperature for catalog number IGS205?
For IGS205, operating temperature is given as -25...+70 °C. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Before ordering IGS205, which response time entry should be checked?
The response time entry quoted above is <= 1500 Hz switching frequency. Use the value as the reference when sourcing a current-production equivalent.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for IGS205?
Send the full catalog number IGS205, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for IFM IGS205.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of IGS205 before ordering?
Match the catalog number IGS205 and the specification values listed above against the installed unit, then confirm the firmware or hardware revision where a revision-sensitive part is involved.
