DIN EN IEC 60947-5-7:2026-02

This part of IEC 60947 states the requirements for proximity devices that correspond to the scope of IEC 60947-5-2:2019 with analog output (PDAO) and/or a digital output to transmit a corresponding digital value representing the detected sensing input. These devices can provide additional parameters and they may consist of one or more parts. This document does not apply to industrial and process measurement transmitters conforming to the IEC 62828 series of standards. The standard differs from DIN EN 60947-5-7 (VDE 0660-213):2004-06 as follows: a) new structure; b) update and expansion of definitions on analog output properties; c) expanded performance requirements on analog output; d) update and new normative references; e) update of EMC requirements; f) harmonization with IEC 62828 series; g) harmonization with IEC 62683 and IEC 61987 definitions; h) harmonization with IEC 61131-2 requirements; i) update of the Annex A (former Annex G), example of the determination of the conformity; j) new Annex B, Overview tests and influence quantities; k) new Annex C, Additional requirements for proximity switches with analog output incorporating a built-in communication interface complying with IEC 61131-9; l) new Annex D, Main characteristics for proximity devices with analog output. Typical examples of applications for products covered by this document include: - factory automation and the machinery industry; - logistics and packaging industry; - assembly lines, elevators; - process industry; - power plants.
