IMX12-FI: the new frequency transducer from Turck Banner Italia

Turck Banner Italia, a producer of sensors, interfaces, bus and safety systems, recently added the IMX12-FI frequency transducer to its range of IMX interface devices, facilitating its use as a rotational speed monitor and as a pulse counter.

In both modes, the single-channel and two-channel variants can transfer input frequencies of up to 20,000 Hz. Besides transmitting the input frequency to the analog output, the single-channel IMX12-FI can also monitor slippage, clockwise/anticlockwise rotation and overspeed and underspeed. The user can also define a speed window for monitoring. Users can adapt the IMX12-FI to the individual requirements of their applications via IO-Link and an FDT Framework such as PACTware.

The IMX12-FI also offers the proven benefits of the IMX series: operation in the voltage range from 10 to 30 VDC (allowing for use in solar power or wind power driven modules) and use in safety circuits up to SIL2; compliance with the EMC requirements of the process industry (NE21); the greatest possible security for users’ investments.
