Turck TS700 and TS720 IO-Link temperature sensors

Turck’s range of fluid sensors with IO-Link now includes TS+ sensors. The TS700 models are compact devices with an integrated temperature probe and the TS720 models are processing and display units for connecting resistance thermometers or thermocouples.

The sensors have a robust stainless steel housing with touch operation and IP67 and IP69K protection. Besides process values, the IO-Link interface provides the user with condition monitoring data for smart IIoT applications.

To simplify commissioning, the TS+ devices also feature automatic detection of the output type (PNP/NPN or current/voltage), as is already offered by the existing Fluid+ sensors. The processing units of the TS720 series also detect the type of temperature probe (TC or Pt), thus eliminating a frequent source of errors. If the TS+ needs to be integrated into existing installations or replace existing sensors, the selection of different IO-Link process data profiles makes it possible to adapt the device quickly without the need for laborious modifications in the controller.

The TS+ sensors are typically used in machine and plant building applications as well as in the process industry. Compact TS700 devices operate in a measuring range from -50 to +150°C. Depending on the temperature probe connected, type TS720 processing and display units can cover temperature ranges between -200 and 1800°C.
