PMI is an inductive positioning system that measures both linear position and rotation angle. It is able to perform its functions even under dusty and dirty conditions and extreme temperature changes. A patented method enhances the performance and efficiency of a sensor by wiring multiple coils in unique ways. It is possible for a single sensor to measure multiple switch points or windows, depending on the requirements of the application. Industry 4.0 applications are made possible by PMI’s IO-Link inductive positioning systems.
The PMI F90 positioning system series
PMI’s F90 series positioning system provides an unprecedented level of functionality. The IO-Link technology, damping element detection, gauge measurement, and switch functions can be integrated into one device. There are three different measurement lengths available (40mm, 80mm, and 120mm).

The PMI80-F90-IU-V1 positioning system has the following functions.
Zero volt analog output… The voltage is 10 volts and the current is 4 milliamperes. The device measures current between 0 and 20 milliamps, has a diameter of 80mm, a 4-pin, M12 x 1 connector, uses DC voltage, and is waterproof.
PMI80-F90-IU-IO-V15
The PMI80-F90-IU-IO-V15 positioning system has the following functions.
Parameterizing the IO-Link to diagnose it, measuring range 0… Featuring an 80 mm measuring range, a configurable analog voltage/current output and secured in a stainless steel or brass housing with nickel plating, this instrument features 5 pins, a BNC connector, type of voltage: DC and protection against dust and water.
PMI120-F90-3EP-IO-V15
Measurements range 0…. for diagnosing the IO-Link. There are three push-pull outputs, and through the IO-Link communication interface, this sensor has a 120 mm diameter, parameterizable measuring range, and switch points that are programmable. Plating, brass and stainless steel 1.4571 comprise the housing. Powered by DC and protected by IP67/IP69K.
PMI40-F90-3EP-IO-V15
The range of measurement is 0… A diagnosis and parameterization via IO-Link are both available. The switch points can be programmed, as well as the measuring range, with IO-Link. A connector M12 x 1 connects the housing to the electronics, which is constructed of PBT, stainless steel 1.4571, brass, and nickel-plated brass.
PMI120-F90-IU2EP-IO-V15-3G-3D
The range of measurements is 0… IO-Link can be diagnosed using this. This current or voltage output meter has a programmable analog output, a 120 mm diameter, a five-pin connector, a M12 x 1 thread, a DC voltage output, an ATEX 3G classification, and parameterization options.
F112 series PMI positioning system
Using the F112 series of PMI positioning systems, every switch point can be measured and monitored within a range of 14 mm, enabling precise positioning. A fully enclosed metal housing with IP67 rating opens up new possibilities when dealing with space-constrained applications.
F166 series PMI positioning system
Because of their compact design and rugged metal housing, they are ideal for basic applications in tight spaces. A tool spindle is one application that can fully leverage these benefits. As a result of its compact design, it is very easy to incorporate into spindles, and its metal housing is resistant to abrasion and grease.
F110 series PMI Positioning System
With the F110 series of PMI positioning systems, long-range positioning is reliably performed.
A variety of lengths are available in the F110 series, making them an excellent choice for heavy machinery construction. Due to a sensing range of 6 mm, a large mechanical tolerance can be handled without affecting the sensor’s accuracy.
F130 series PMI positioning system
Angle measurements of 0° to 360° are converted by PMI’s F130 position measurement systems into an analog signal ranging from 4mA to… A 20-milliampere load. Furthermore, it is also useful for other purposes besides valve actuator position detection.
