Fit isolating switching amplifier into small control cabinets

Turck is presenting the IM18-4DI compact, four-channel isolating switching amplifier for non-Ex areas and IMX18-4DI for Ex areas. An 18 millimeter wide module with four signals provides a high channel density. Consequently, it can be installed in small control cabinets and decentralized or modular automation systems.

Benefit also from the flexibility of the device, e.g., the IM(X)-4DI features a splitter that can be configured as a dual 1:2, 1:3 or 1:4 splitter. Moreover, the effective direction of the switching outputs is reversible.

Create safety-related applications

With the 4-channel isolating switching amplifiers, Turck is meeting the increasing demand for especially compact solutions for modular machines. The IMX18-4DI devices need almost a third less space on the DIN rail than similar installations with two-channel devices.

The SIL2 certification of these devices, together with Turck’s SIL proximity switches, enables the creation of safety-related applications.

You can make the best use of the isolating switching amplifiers in the chemical, oil & gas, and food industries.

Power the isolating switching amplifier via Power-Bridge

The signal cables are mechanically connected with spring-loaded or screw terminals. Optional power supply via Power-Bridge is possible in the Power-Bridge variants that can be supplied from the rear via the DIN rail.

A group fault signal contact makes it possible to indicate error messages, which with the Power Bridge variants can be implemented via the DIN rail.

Provide compact Ex protection with the IMX series

Turck’s IMX interface device series provides fast and precise signal processing in the smallest space, reliable supply of connected instrumentation and long maintenance-free operation. You benefit from investment security and availability for a long period of time.

These devices are:

• Reliable; they combine Turck’s vast experience with state-of-the-art technology
• Global; they offer worldwide approvals, and thus ensure their applicability in different systems
• Safe; they comply with IEC61508 and can be used in safety circuits up to SIL2
• Flexible; with diverse functionality and a wide voltage range (10–30 VDC), these devices are tailored to the requirements of various applications
