Level switch 1/2NPT – Ifm

Main Features

IFM LMC510 Level Switch 1/2 NPT – IO-Link Oil Media Level Sensor for Tanks and Containers

Engineered for point-level monitoring in industrial tanks and containers, the IFM LMC510 delivers reliable detection in oil and oil-based media. Two programmable switching outputs enable direct control of pumps, valves, and other actuators, while the integrated IO-Link interface on one output provides parameterization and process data to PLCs and control systems. A 1/2 NPT screw-in adapter streamlines mounting, and the sensing head resists false trips from buildup, foam, or turbulence—ideal for hydraulic reservoirs, lube systems, and process skids.

Key Benefits

• Accurate level switching in oil-based fluids for dependable process control
• Dual programmable outputs for flexible pump/valve actuation and alarms
• IO-Link communication for diagnostics, configuration, and easy integration
• Fast installation via 1/2 NPT screw-in process connection
• Robust design suppresses interference from deposits and foam
