The modules and systems are available in protection class IP67 for field mounting as well as in protection class IP20 for control cabinet mounting. For the fieldbuses there is a choice between PROFIBUS-DP, PROFIBUS-PA, FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, DeviceNet™, CANopen and Modbus RTU/ASCII as well as the Ethernet protocols PROFINET, EtherNet/IP™, Modbus TCP and EtherCAT®.

In 1945, Walter Pepperl and Ludwig Fuchs founded a small radio workshop in Mannheim, Germany, based on the principles of inventiveness, entrepreneurial foresight, and self-reliance. The experience they acquired was transformed into new ideas, and they continued to enjoy developing products for customers. The eventual result was the invention of the proximity switch. This innovation represented the starting point of the company's success story.
Today, Pepperl+Fuchs is known by customers around the world as a pioneer and an innovator in electrical explosion protection and sensor technology.
