Telemecanique XMLP004GC21F Pressure Sensor: Technical Specifications and Application Guide
Pressure monitoring is a critical variable in hydraulic and pneumatic automation systems. The Telemecanique XMLP004GC21F pressure sensor is designed for industrial environments requiring accurate measurement within a 0–4 bar range. Built with a G1/4 pressure connection and an analog output interface, this model is frequently integrated into compact machines, compressed air systems, and fluid control panels where stable signal transmission is essential.
Core Technical Characteristics
- Product type: Electronic pressure sensor (XMLP series)
- Pressure range: 0–4 bar
- Pressure port: G1/4 (male)
- Output signal: 4–20 mA analog
- Supply voltage: 24 V DC (typically 12–30 V DC range)
- Accuracy: ±0.5% full scale (typical XMLP specification)
- Electrical connection: M12 connector
- Protection rating: IP65/IP67
- Operating temperature: -20…80 °C
The Telemecanique XMLP004GC21F pressure sensor uses a robust stainless-steel sensing element to ensure stable readings in dynamic industrial processes. The 4–20 mA output provides noise-resistant signal transmission over longer cable distances, making it suitable for distributed control systems.
Integration in Automation Systems
Because the Telemecanique XMLP004GC21F pressure sensor delivers an analog output, it integrates directly with PLC analog input modules. The 4–20 mA standard simplifies scaling in the controller and reduces susceptibility to electrical interference. Engineers often configure alarm thresholds in the PLC to trigger alerts if pressure falls below or rises above defined operating windows.
For broader sensing strategies across machines, reviewing complementary technologies within the Telemecanique sensor portfolio supports harmonized spare part planning and technical documentation.
