The IFM TAD081 temperature transmitter with drift detection is designed for high-precision temperature monitoring in hygienic industrial applications. It combines a Pt1000 primary element with an NTC backup element to provide self-monitoring temperature measurement. The transmitter offers IO-Link communication, an analogue output and configurable switching/diagnostic functions. Its hygienic design, Aseptoflex Vario connection and drift-monitoring capability make it suitable for food, beverage and demanding process applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
TAD081 is an advanced IFM temperature transmitter designed for applications requiring high process safety and reliable temperature monitoring. It uses a Pt1000 element together with an NTC reference element that provides backup temperature measurement. The sensor continuously monitors its measuring elements and can detect drift or faults. IO-Link communication allows convenient parameterisation and diagnostic access.
The TAD081 provides a -25 to 160 °C measuring range and includes both analogue and digital outputs. Its dual-element construction provides temperature measurement even if one sensing element fails. The transmitter offers drift and fault monitoring and supports configurable diagnostic functions. It uses an Aseptoflex Vario process connection and is designed for hygienic applications.
TAD081 is especially suitable for food and beverage processing, hygienic tanks, pipelines and process equipment. Drift detection helps identify sensor deviations before they significantly affect the process. IO-Link allows parameter setting, diagnostics and process-value communication. The sensor can support improved process safety and maintenance planning. Its hygienic construction makes it suitable for demanding washdown and sanitary applications.
