How to program an industrial pressure transmitter

In this video, you will learn how to manually program the PN pressure transmitter from ifm using the pushbutton menu and display, as well as, how to access the written instructions from the product datasheet on the ifm website. The PN series is one of the bestselling pressure sensors on the market for a range of common industrial applications as an alternative to mechanical piston-style pressure switches.

The PN series from ifm uses ceramic capacitive technology as the sensing principle, which relies on the ceramic measuring cell resembling a plate capacitor. The reference and measuring electrodes are at a constant distance apart, and the capacitance is inversely proportional to this distance. When pressure is applied, the distance changes are measured and converted into pressure by a microprocessor. Ceramic capacitive technology provides long-term durability that does not fatigue like stainless steel pressure gauges can, and it is more resistant to abrasion, dents, or dings that could throw off pressure measurements in other types of technologies. The internal support construction creates very high pressure ratings, including overload pressure ratings.

It can be used with hydraulic oils, water-based media, compressed air, and industrial gases. This pressure sensor performs well at monitoring:

• System pressure of Hydraulic power units
• Suction on grippers used in metal forming
• Applications with steam media

Using IO-Link technology, you can receive multiple process values and sensor diagnostics, implement condition-based monitoring, simplify the design and commissioning process, and store setting preferences for automatic device replacement. In this video, the PN2694 is used as the example, but this video applies to any additional article numbers that begin with PN2, PN7, PE2, and PN4.
