Signal converter
Festo signal converters of the SVE4 and SCDN series convert sensor signals between different signal types, enabling integration of Festo sensors into control architectures with differing signal levels or bus protocols. The SVE4 series (6 types) converts between ultrasonic (US), inductive (IS) and Hall (HS) signal sources to standardised output signals with M8 connection. The SCDN series connects sensors via EC4-PNLK interface to IO-Link-capable controllers.
US, IS and HS identify the input type (ultrasonic, inductive, Hall), R indicates the converter type, HM8 the housing design and 2P/2N the output type (PNP/NPN). With only 8 types in the range, selection is straightforward and focused on the most common interface requirements.

Typical applications
Typical applications: Adapting ultrasonic sensors to PLC inputs with standard switching levels, connecting Hall sensors and reed contacts to modern PNP/NPN control inputs, integrating legacy sensors into new IO-Link-capable controllers via SCDN converters, and signal level conversion in heterogeneous installations with mixed signal types.
