Product Overview

The ifm LMC100 is a compact, reliable point-level sensor designed for accurate detection of liquid or compatible media levels in tanks, containers, or pipelines. It offers robust, maintenance-free operation and is well suited for industrial, process, or fluid-handling environments. With simple installation and flexible outputs, the LMC100 makes it easy to integrate level-control or alarm functionality into existing systems.

Key Features

• Point-level detection for water, oils, coolants, and similar media
• Two programmable switching outputs — one with modern digital interface for advanced integration
• IO-Link communication interface for parameterization and diagnostics
• Compact stainless-steel housing with screw-in adapter — suitable for threaded process connections
• Reliable suppression of deposits, foam, or media surface irregularities for consistent switching behavior
• Configurable output behavior (normally open / normally closed) to suit different control logic
• Quick and easy installation — minimal maintenance due to absence of moving parts
