Where it sits in the control system
The IGS213 is the device-level element in an IFM proximity 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 IGS213
IFM IGS213 — 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 IGS213; always cross-check the catalog number and hardware revision on the nameplate before placing an order.
- Frequency: 300 — Confirm the revision of the installed unit before a like-for-like replacement.
- Certifications: CE, cULus — Use it as the reference when cross-checking a current-production equivalent.
- Operating temperature: -25...+70 °C — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Degree of protection: II — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Cross-check the ratings above with the installed device before confirming the order.
Common questions about IGS213
Q.Before ordering IGS213, 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 Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.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 operating temperature data for IGS213?
It is listed in the specification table for IFM IGS213 as -25...+70 °C. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.For IGS213, what does the specification table state about enclosure rating?
The specification table lists enclosure rating = IP67 (IEC 60529) for IFM IGS213. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.How do I confirm compatibility of IGS213 before ordering?
Match the catalog number IGS213 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.What should I include in an enquiry for IGS213?
Send the full catalog number IGS213, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for IFM IGS213.
