The compact and rugged Pepperl + Fuchs DK12 contrast sensor is now IO-Link enabled! IO-Link is an innovative method for configuration, diagnostics and control that was not possible with standard output sensors.

The Pepperl + Fuchs DK12 contrast sensor with IO-Link interface enables consistent communication for diagnosing and parameterizing through to the sensor level for the first time! You also benefit from the intelligence already integrated in every DK12 contrast sensor.

This provides particular advantages in the service area (fault elimination maintenance and device replacement), during commissioning (cloning, identification, configuration and localization) and during operation (job changeover, continuous parameter monitoring and online diagnosis).

The possibility of making the intelligence that is already integrated in every sensor fully available to the user opens up new routes for automation.

The use of IO-Link produces positive effects for all fields of application in operation and service. The reduction of the diversity of interfaces lone, which is, for example, a result of analog sensor inputs and the complex installation required, offers the user a high savings potential.

Typical areas of application for the DK12-11-IO include:
●Printing and paper industries
●Packaging industry
