M22-CG-T1

The M22-CG-T1 is an industrial control device designed primarily to provide visual signals for a variety of machine status and control information. These devices are part of the class of Panel Indicators and Pilot Lights, providing an efficient and rugged system for the communication of operating conditions within a variety of industries. This article will outline the applications and features of the M22-CG-T1 as well as explain its working principle.

The primary application of the M22-CG-T1 is to provide a high intensity visual indication when an electrical current is supplied to the device. This is done with a LED or micro-bulb whose light is focused through a clear outer lens assembly. The LED and lens assemblies are available in a range of colours including red, amber, green and blue, allowing for different signalling for different operating conditions. The construction is also modular and configurable. Designed around an IP67 sealed and gasketed enclosure, the assembly is further protected from dust, water and vibration.

In addition to the rugged construction, the M22-CG-T1 features a number of interface and mounting options. The power supply for the device is sourced from DC supplies between 15 and 30 volts. There is the option of single wire defusing and 1N LED technology for higher intensities. The device can be mounted to a variety of applications, including standard 35mm DIN rails, cable glands or surface mount, making it suitable for use in hazardous locations.

The components responsible for the light, the LED or micro-bulb, are powered by the electricity supplied by the interface, allowing for a high intensity visible light. The electrical current provided to the LED is determined by the voltage supply and the resistance of the circuit. The internal circuit is designed to draw a certain amount of current to produce the necessary illumination levels. Depending on the specific design parameters, the voltage supplied determines the intensity of the light produced. As the voltage is increased, the current through the LED is also increased, resulting in a higher intensity of light output.

The M22-CG-T1 is an industrial grade panel indicator and pilot light that provides a highly visible indication when current is supplied. Through its robust construction, multiple colours, flexible design and ease of integration, the device is suitable for a variety of applications in industrial settings. The device is powered by a DC circuit and is designed to draw the correct current for the desired illumination.
