ifm: Switching Amplifiers for Conversion of Sensor Signals
The transistor outputs of conventional sensors are designed for small load currents. If the user wants to switch higher currents or even alternating currents, he must use a switching amplifier. It uses the sensor signal to control an output relay. ifm offers switching amplifiers in one and two-channel design. They have an integrated wide-range power supply (110…240 V AC) to supply the connected sensors with voltage (24 V DC).
