PM11 Electronic pressure sensor 2 Safety instructions • The unit described is a subcomponent for integration into a system. – The system architect is responsible for the safety of the system. – The system architect undertakes to perform a risk assessment and to create documentation in accordance with legal and normative requirements to be provided to the operator and user of the system.
Electronic pressure sensor PM11 3 Intended use The unit measures and monitors the system pressure of machines and installations. Two outputs are available: OUT1: Measured pressure value via IO-Link. OUT2: Analogue signal proportional to pressure 4...20 mA. 3.1 Application area Type of pressure: relative pressure Information on pressure rating and bursting pressure Ò...
PM11 Electronic pressure sensor 4 Function Measuring cell: • The system pressure is measured by a ceramic capacitive measuring system. • The sealing of the ceramic measuring cell is free of elastomers and thus maintenance-free. Signal transmission: • The unit can be operated in analogue mode and in IO-Link mode. When connected to an IO-Link master, the unit automatically switches to IO-Link mode.
• Location Tag: freely definable text describing the installation location in the plant. For more detailed information refer to the device-specific IO Device Description PDF at www.ifm.com. 4.3 Defined state in case of a fault If a fault is detected, the analogue output passes into a defined state ( = 21.5 mA).

Electronic pressure sensor PM11 5 Installation The device can be adapted to clamp connections 1“ – 1.5“ [DIN 32676 (ISO 2852)]. Before installing and removing the device: Make sure that no pressure is applied to the system and there is no medium in the pipe.
PM11 Electronic pressure sensor 5.1 Use in hygienic areas according to 3-A The following applies to devices with 3-A certification: u Only use adapters with 3-A certification for the process connection. u Do not install the device in the lower section of the pipe or tank (positions 4 and 5) in order that the medium can run off the area of the measuring element.
Electronic pressure sensor PM11 For a correct functioning of the ventilation diaphragm please take the following into account: u Remove soiling and cleaning agents immediately using plenty of lime-deficient splash water. If the sensor is in a cooling stage: u Avoid contact of the ventilation diaphragm with liquids to avoid negative pressure in the measuring system (resulting in a slightly falsified measured value) and additional strain on the diaphragm.

PM11 Electronic pressure sensor u Avoid soiling and moisture during the exchange u Clean the thread carefully and without residues. u Do not damage the adhesive surface for the diaphragm on the sensor. u Observe the orientation of the filter cover (Ò Installation instructions E30139 / E30467).
Electronic pressure sensor PM11 6 Electrical connection The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician. Observe the national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment. Voltage supply according to SELV, PELV. u Disconnect power. u Connect the unit as follows:...
Put the device into operation. 7.2 Parameter setting via the memory plug A parameter set can be written to the device / can be recorded by the device via a memory plug (ifm storage module): www.ifm.com. In order to allow for data to be written from the memory plug to the sensor, the sensor must have the factory setting.
Electronic pressure sensor PM11 7.3 Teach offset with button An external teach button (E30425) allows for a zero-point calibration (calibration offset). The current measured value is taken as internal zero point if this measured value lies within a range of +/- 3% of the measuring span.
PM11 Electronic pressure sensor 7.7 List of the parameters Parameter Function ASP2 Analogue start point: Measured value at which 4 mA is provided. AEP2 Analogue end point: Measured value at which 20 mA is provided. Minimum distance between ASP and AEP = 20% of the measuring span.
Electronic pressure sensor PM11 8 Operation After power-on and expiry of the power-on delay time of approx. 0.5 s the unit is in the RUN mode (= normal operating mode). It carries out its measurement and evaluation functions and generates output...
It monitors itself automatically during operation. Warnings and faults are signalled via IO-Link. If a process value fails, the other process values are still available. Additional diagnostic functions are available via IO-Link. IODD interface description at: www.ifm.com. The IO-Link error codes are contained in the IODD. Type...
