Turck portfolio expanded
Compact interface technology for modular machines
Turck is expanding its interface portfolio with the compact, single-channel IMXK series for control boxes with a shallow depth, as are often used in modular machines or in mobile applications.
With a depth of just 77 millimetres, the IMXK series is 35 percent shorter than classic interface devices of the latest design. In terms of accuracy and speed under real-life conditions, the IMXKs are at the top of the league of comparable larger device types, the company emphasizes.
As associated equipment, the IMXKs are suitable for connecting intrinsically safe field devices up to Zone 0. The IMXK itself can be installed in Ex-suitable enclosures in Zone 2. In addition, all variants can be used in functionally safe circuits up to SIL2. Four variants are available to start with: Isolating switching amplifiers for digital input signals (IMXK12-DI), valve control modules for digital output signals (IMXK12-DO) as well as transmitter supply isolators for analog input signals (IMXK12-AI) and isolators for analog output signals (IMXK12-AO).
The devices are supplied with 10...30 volts DC to compensate for voltage fluctuations and for operation with 12 volts on-board power supply. The wide operating temperature range of minus 25 to 70 degrees Celsius also allows use in the vicinity of machines and engines, where higher temperatures often prevail. as
