Interface devices
New family for non-intrinsically safe signals
Turck's new IM12 device family is characterized by high channel density, investment security and use in circuits up to SIL 2.
With the IM12 interface devices, the advantages of Turck's IMX12 family can now also be used for applications with non-intrinsically safe signals for the first time. The IM12 is one of the slimmest devices on the market and saves space in the control cabinet with a width of only six millimeters per channel. Their modern electronic design promises a high level of investment security, as the manufacturer announced. The entire device family is certified for use in functionally safe circuits up to SIL2.
The IM12s process digital and analog signals from field devices, for example in the pharmaceutical or chemical industry. However, there are also application scenarios for IM12 devices in factory automation, for example for temperature or speed measurement.
According to Turck, the devices are also state of the art on the interface side. The computer-parameterizable variants can be addressed via IO-Link and Pactware or other FDT frameworks. All IM12 variants offer the option of DIN rail power supply via Powerbridge. Customers who use both IM12 and IMX12 (for hazardous areas) can install, wire and commission all interface devices mechanically, electronically and with the same software. In addition to devices for digital or analog inputs or outputs, Turck also offers frequency and temperature transmitters. as
