IP20
IP20
IP20, in the context of Ingress Protection Ratings (IP Ratings), signifies a moderate level of protection for electrical products against external elements like dust and solid objects but provides no defense against liquids. The first digit, in this case, indicates protection against solid objects, with an IP20 rating meaning the product is shielded from objects over 12mm in size, making it touchproof and resistant to larger particles. However, it offers no protection against liquids, making it susceptible to damage when in contact with sprays of water.
CoreTigo’s TigoGateway 1TE and TigoGateway 2TC are industrial-grade IP20 IO-Link Wireless Masters. These devices support the wireless control of sensors and actuators with low latency and high reliability. The TigoGateway 1TE further incorporates Edge Computing functionality, allowing advanced applications and secure cloud data upload, and supports up to 8 devices. The TigoGateway 2TC, on the other hand, supports up to 16 devices. The IP20 rating of these devices indicates their suitability for indoor use, offering protection against dust and solid objects but cautioning against exposure to water or moisture.
