Turck CMTH combined humidity and temperature sensor

Turck’s CMTH combined humidity and temperature sensor is now available in a compact variant with improved IIoT integration for smart condition monitoring applications. With a length of 57 mm and an operating temperature range from -40 to +100°C, the IP67 sensor in an M12 housing can be used in many challenging environments. The interface provided also supports easy integration, since the standard IO-Link Smart Sensor Profile (version 4.1.2.) with 64 bits on two channels simplifies the vendor-neutral configuration of networked systems.

The CMTH is particularly suitable for monitoring the climatic conditions in production and warehouse buildings for all sectors handling goods that are sensitive to humidity and temperature.

In simple I/O mode the sensor outputs one switching signal for temperature and one for humidity. This mode is particularly suitable for retrofitting to collect climatic data in existing applications where IO-Link is not available. IO-Link mode offers extra benefits in modern plants or machines as the CMTH smart sensor can not only output continuous process values but can, for example, also calculate the local dewpoint. Users requiring long-term analysis can take advantage of a pre-configured histogram function.

The digital interface also simplifies sensor commissioning. Turck’s IO-Link master can commission the device via the master’s integrated web browser, without the need for any additional software.
