RET has released Turck's new range of TTM temperature transmitters with models in a compact plastic or 1.4404 stainless steel housings, the output can be individually set by the customer. In addition to an analog output (4…20 mA) in a 2-wire circuit, the new sensors offer a switching output and the possibility to communicate via IO-Link. Users requiring temperature sensors with different parameters can reduce the number of devices that need to be kept in stock.

This is also made simpler thanks to the modular concept: The range includes versions of the temperature sensor with a fixed probe, a variant is also available which can be fitted with a probe in the required mounting form via the M12 interface. Like other sensors of the TTM series, the new devices with their integrated electronics are also hardly larger than an M12 connector.

Besides the parameter and measured data communication, the IO-Link interface offers the user the possibility to configure the outputs individually. For example, a wide range of output signal configurations are possible, such as analog start and end points, customised temperature ranges and also hysteresis and window functions in the switching output.
