IFM · inductive sensor
IGS208 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 IGS208 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 IGS208
IFM IGS208 — 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 IGS208; size the surrounding wiring and upstream protection to these published ratings rather than to a generic assumption.
- Operating temperature: -25...+70 °C — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Certifications: CE, cULus — 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.
- Frequency: 400 — 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 IGS208
Q.Before ordering IGS208, which response time entry should be checked?
The response time entry quoted above is <= 1500 Hz switching frequency. Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Where can I find the supply voltage data for IGS208?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM IGS208 as 10...30 V DC. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.For IGS208, what does the specification table state about enclosure rating?
The specification table lists enclosure rating = IP67 (IEC 60529) for IFM IGS208. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.Can the IGS208 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number IGS208 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 IGS208?
Send the full catalog number IGS208, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for IFM IGS208.
