IFM · inductive sensor
IGS206 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 IGS206 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 IGS206
IFM IGS206 — 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 IGS206; verify the catalog number against your bill of materials before requesting a quotation.
- Certifications: CE, cULus — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Response time: <= 1500 Hz switching frequency — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
- Enclosure rating: IP67 (IEC 60529) — 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.
Available from stock with datasheet, certificates and a quotation on request.
Common questions about IGS206
Q.Before ordering IGS206, which operating temperature entry should be checked?
The operating temperature entry quoted above is -25...+70 °C. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Where can I find the certifications data for IGS206?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM IGS206 as CE, cULus. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.For IGS206, what does the specification table state about enclosure rating?
The specification table lists enclosure rating = IP67 (IEC 60529) for IFM IGS206. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of IGS206 before ordering?
Match the catalog number IGS206 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 IGS206 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number IGS206 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.
