• The 4 IQ-Sense sensor module is an intelligent 4-channel electronic module for the ET 200S distributed I/O in PROFIBUS DP networking systems. It is used to connect photoelectric sensors using IQ-Sense technology.
• The 8?IQ-Sense sensor module is an intelligent 8-channel I/O module for SIMATIC S7-300 and ET 200M and is used to connect photoelectric and ultrasonic sensors using IQ-Sense technology. It is possible to combine different types of sensors on one module.

Standard function blocks are available for simplified handling of a SIMATIC S7. Conventional sensors cannot be operated on these modules.

The main applications of the IQ-Sense system are found in installations and machines:

• With high availability demands
• With a high probability of interaction between sensors
• With the need for high flexibility and dynamic changing of sensor parameters.
